As of the late eighteenth century, free canons were occupied in the even months by the Chapter and in the odd months by the Emperor. The Emperor also occupied so­called Royal canons (stricte regius). A noble status was a condition for applicants to the canon in the Chapter Statutes as well. After extensive effort, a decision was made that the Emperor might designate a non-noble priest to the canons (1880). After the end of the monarchy, the Olomouc Chapter sought to obtain the right to designate all the canons. This was in conflict, however, with the provisions of the newly issued Code of Canon Law (1917). The Czechoslovak government claimed that it had assumed the privileges of the House of Habsburg including the filling of ecclesiastical benefices. This was rejected by the Holy See. The government and the chapter surrendered their requirements "only for this case" (1922) and the Archbishop could accept the appointment of new canons to add to the chapter. He did not succeed in resolving the issue of the appointments, but the noble origin ceased to be required for the applicants of canons.
