Summary/Abstract: The date of the introduction of the proclaimed congregation (proclamata congregatio generalis) has so far been wrongly defined, and its essence misinterpretated. This legal procedure was introduced in 1397, and abolished in 1486. It was applied in cases of acts of might committed within a year. If the complaint was proved just, immediate satisfaction was due to the plaintiff. It was in order to prove the complaint that the proclaimed congregation was introduced as a means of inquisition. The origins of this procedure go back to the 1350s. The word “proclaimed” (proclamata) was used to refer to other congregations as well in the fourteenth century.
