Hohenstaufowie i ich władza w regionie Chebska
Government of the Hohenstaufen in Egerland

Summary/Abstract: For the emperors of the Hohenstaufen Egerland was a part of the Mid East complex of imperial possessions. Its local administration was organized by ministeriales. The documented provincial authorities were: provincial judge (iudex provincialis), bailiff (iudex civitatis), „mint master“ (magister monetae) a „forest master“ (forestarius). The highest representative of the provincial administration of Egerland in the time of Hohenstaufen provincial rulers was the provincial judge. The office of the provincial judge was documented for the first time in the sources of 1215. A person occupying that position was a representative of the monarch and exercised a wide range of powers (documented especially in earlier sources). The spectrum of information that can be retrieved from the preserved documents of Hohenstaufen period is determined by the fact that all of them were issued in favour of religious institutions. The preserved documents show that the provincial judge was influential mostly in the judicial area (provincial court or arbitration courts). He used to confirm written copies of judgments or declarations of settlement between opposing sides as well as church property transfers or acts granting a property as fief.
