Commitment
In general, commitimus is a legal term of the Ancien Régime (but not only there), which states that certain people in civil matters cannot be brought before the ordinary court, but their cases are tried before a special court. During the ancien regime, commitment was a privilege for the high-ranking circles of court, army and church dignitaries.
The privilege of committimus (letter of) was granted under the ancien regime by the king of France.
This privilege was granted through letters called commitimus letters, which were named because they began with the word committimus.
