Nobility register of the Duchy of Carniola from 1824

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ständische Adelsmatrikel the Duchy of Krain is an official list of noble families that once the Krainer Inkolat had owned. As the nobility register of the restored Duchy of Carniola, again part of the Austrian Empire, it represents an important contemporary document after the Napoleonic era in this country. A copy of the register is kept in the Slovenian archive.

Historical background

After Napoleon Bonaparte's abdication, the old corporate order was reintroduced in the Duchy of Carniola on the basis of Section 15 of the highest patent of August 29, 1818 on the reintroduction of the corporate constitution . In the course of this reorganization of the socio-political, fiscal, territorial and legal conditions, it was also necessary to record the noble families of Krains, who were once rural in the duchy and who were to regain this status. So in 1824 - and for the first time - a class register of nobility for the Duchy of Carniola was created.

In the Duchy of Carniola, which Napoleon had incorporated into the Illyrian Provinces he had created, the estate order was reintroduced relatively late - not until 1818. With the first Paris Peace Agreement of May 30, 1814, French rule also ended de jure in the Illyrian provinces, which were awarded to Austria . The question arose how the territorial reorganization should be accomplished. After lengthy negotiations, it was decided in 1816 to create a kingdom of Illyria . However, this kingdom only existed on paper and that until 1918 in the form of another title of the ruler and the specially created coat of arms: A golden ship on a blue background .

Already at the beginning of 1814 people suspected of being Francophile were subjected to persecution and visitations. Masonic lodges were forbidden and everyone believed to be Masons was meticulously monitored. In the same year, civil status registers were returned to the clergy. All those who were only married under civil law had to be married in church, otherwise the marriage would be annulled.

The corporate order was introduced, but only in appearance and in particular in administrative , tax and tax law . All the French innovations that strengthened state power were retained in the administrative system. The district offices were reorganized, but the manors were not given back the privilege of patrimonial jurisdiction and that of collecting taxes.

The face of the register

The register includes 494 names of people who were granted the Carniolan estate. Many landständische in Krain noble families have gone before creating this Adelsmatrikel and many generations acquired only after the creation of the register the Krainer Inkolat . The register contains many new names that are actually untypical for the Duchy of Carniola. In the matriculation, the name with the current title is mentioned first, followed by the first occurrence in Krain as far as this was understandable from the documents used for the creation of the matriculation; then the sources are given. The spelling of the names and the texts were left as they are in the original.

Certificates, documents and records used for the preparation of the matriculation

When creating the nobility registers, apart from the Landmann letters and the state parliament protocols, the so-called Perizhoff register and the landscape coat of arms from 1463 were used.

Members of the Perizhoff family were the most famous registrars in Carniola. The grandfather Markus († 1693), father Markus Joseph (1656–1721) and his son Karl Seyfried (* 1694). Karl Seyfried created lists of correspondence in his own way on the basis of other models. In a similar way, he and Christian Heil reorganized the archives of the Vizedomat von Krain.

The coat of arms of the landscape mentioned here from 1463 refers to a list of duties and taxes that were imposed on the Carniolan estates in connection with the creation of the contingent for defense purposes.
