A szerémi és pécsi kamarák története a kezdetektől a XIV. század második feléig

Absztrakt

The chamber of Szerém, founded under King Béla IV, and that of Pécs, established in the 1320s, were united under the same administration in 1341 at the latest, and its common authority extended over the counties of Szerém, Bács, Valkó, Bodrog, Baranya, Somogy, Tolna and Zala. The united chamber was led from 1341 to 2 February 1343 by Endre Chempelinus, from 2 February 1343 to 2 February 1346 by Miklós Szatmári, and from 1352 until the death of King Louis I by Jakab Szerecsen. Jakab Szerecsen, who started his career as a royal apothecarius, rose ever further during the reign of Louis. Alongside the chambers of Szerém and Pécs he also governed the salt chambers of Lippa and Transylvania in the 1360s, and functioned at the same time as administrator of the thirtieth (tricésima). Moreover, he also emerged as head of the chamber of Buda in 1362. Although he lost all these positions in the late 1360s, in the 1370s he regained the salt chambers of Lippa and Transylvania, as well as the office of the thirtieth, and the chamber of Körmöcbánya. From the late 1370s he governed all the chambers of the Hungarian Kingdom. He minted all those coins which bear the Saracen head during the reign of Louis I. His brother, János Szerecsen emerged alongside Jakab in the 1360s, but his independent career started only in the 1380s as administrator of the thirtieth, count of the chamber and then that of the lucrum camere. His associate was Franciscus Bernardi, whose monogram (FB) can perhaps be seen on coins from the period of Louis I.
