  • Subiect: Pontifical taxes represented one of the most important aspects of the Avignon period of the papacy. The French popes developed a taxation mechanism that was used throughout the Catholic world. During the time of the Avignon popes, the Catholic clergy in Transylvania was incorporated into the vast papal taxation mechanism. Thus, in the fourteenth century, Transylvania was visited by a series of papal collectors, who exacted various taxes on behalf of the French Popes. The most important action in this regard was the collection of tithes from 1332 to 1337. Papal taxation could not operate in this border area of Christianity without the support of the Angevin kings of Hungary, who were rewarded by the papacy with a part of the amounts collected. However, the collection of papal taxes had a negative impact on both the clergy and the laity. The most important papal taxes collected in Transylvania were: the annates, the income for the first year of holding a church benefice, servitia communia, paid by all the bishops and abbots, and tithes, which represented a tenth of the ecclesiastical income.
