Handwritten Annals Of The City Of Toulouse
The Handwritten Annals of the City of Toulouse were held from 1295 to 1787. They consist of a collection of books on which were recorded each year the administrative acts as well as the rights and privileges of the capitouls, the municipal consuls of Toulouse.Christian Cau, « ''Les capitouls de Toulouse - L'intégrale des portraits des Annales de la Ville, 1352-1778'' ». Éditions Privat, 1990. These Annals are particularly renowned for the illuminations that decorate them, an original and unique example in Europe of miniature portraits of municipal consuls in the exercise of their office. Although a revolutionary autodafé destroyed most of them on August 10, 1793, the surviving sample nonetheless constitutes an exceptional testimony to Toulouse's past.Out of 452 chronicles, 183 have completely disappeared. But only 75 portrait plates escaped destruction, 69 of which are preserved in Toulouse. The work of the capitouls The capitouls appear in 1147 as advisers to the count ...

Parliament Of Toulouse
The Parliament of Toulouse (french: Parlement de Toulouse) was one of the '' parlements'' of the Kingdom of France, established in the city of Toulouse. It was modelled on the Parliament of Paris. It was first created in 1420, but definitely established by edicts in 1437 and 1443 by Charles VII as an appellate court of justice on civil, criminal and ecclesiastic affairs for the Languedoc region, including Quercy, the County of Foix and Armagnac. It was the first provincial ''parlement'', intended to administer the Occitan-speaking south of France, and it gained in prestige both by its distance from Paris and from the differences between southern France's legal system (based on Roman law) and northern France's. After the Parliament of Paris, the Parliament of Toulouse had the largest jurisdiction in France. Its purview extended from the Rhône to the Atlantic Ocean and from the Pyrénées to the Massif Central, but the creation of the Parliament of Bordeaux in 1462 removed from ...

Medieval Historical Texts
In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the late 5th to the late 15th centuries, similar to the post-classical period of global history. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages. Population decline, counterurbanisation, the collapse of centralized authority, invasions, and mass migrations of tribes, which had begun in late antiquity, continued into the Early Middle Ages. The large-scale movements of the Migration Period, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East—most recently part of the Eastern R ...

Capitoul
The ''capitouls'', sometimes anglicized as ''capitols'', were the chief magistrates of the commune of Toulouse, France, during the late Middle Ages and early Modern period. Their council and rule was known as the ''Capitoulate'' (french: capitoulat). They were suppressed in 1789 amid the French Revolution. Name The officials were originally known as consuls () but were christened "capitouls" in 1295 as part of an effort to connect Toulouse with the greatness of such cities as Rome, Constantinople, and Jerusalem.

The Biccherna was the magistrate or chancellery of finance from the 13th to the 14th century for the republic and then city of Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy.
