The administrative inquiries system for the Kingdom of Sicily government, already known to the Normans and Hohenstaufen, was adopted by Charles I of Anjou, after the conquest of 1266, as an instrument for the territory’s public control. The Angevin sovereign had little faith in the existing documentary evidence and for this reason he privileged the general or special inquiries system, both to control the taxes earns and to ascertain the kingdom lords unfaithfulness and redistribute to new feudal lords the confiscated lands to the loyals of Hohenstaufen dynasty.

Abstract
The administrative inquiries system for the Kingdom of Sicily government, already known to the Normans and Hohenstaufen, was adopted by Charles I of Anjou, after the conquest of 1266, as an instrument for the territory’s public control. The Angevin sovereign had little faith in the existing documentary evidence and for this reason he privileged the general or special inquiries system, both to control the taxes earns and to ascertain the kingdom lords unfaithfulness and redistribute to new feudal lords the confiscated lands to the loyals of Hohenstaufen dynasty.File in questo prodotto:
