Ambachtslehen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An Ambachtslehen (Latin feudum ambactae ) was in feudalism a fiefdom , which in the broader sense included the exercise of an office. In a narrower sense it differs from the official fief ( feudum officii ) in that there is the official Mr. explicitly invested with the office while the Ambachtsherr a public office or service must exercise because he was invested with a cause.

An early form of the Ambachtslehen was the Gastaldslehen ( feudum gastaldiae ) among the Longobards . In the sixth book of his Commentarii de Bello Gallico, Gaius Julius Caesar mentions the term ambactos and, after Rudolf Kleinpaul , used it to refer to miners, servants and ministries. Franz Joseph Mone also referred to the Celtic origin of ambacti , which he translates as poor people , which means servants . The old German term Ambacht for handicrafts / office developed from Ambactia, which became Ampt or Ambt in the 16th century and later the current term for office. In the course of time, the concept of the ambassador as a fiefdom became that of the bailiff . There is also a linguistic relationship to the English ambassador and the French ambassadeur.

In the 18th century, ambassadorial glories were still widespread mainly in the Dutch province of Zeeland , which differed from high glories by the fact that they had no blood jurisdiction.
