The article shows the results of the research on the careers of provosts of the cathedral chapter in Chełmża in the Teutonic period. For the period 1266–1457 we managed to identify 28 provosts, for whom biographical entries were made. Next, their careers underwent the prosopographic analysis. Provosts were heads of the chapter, which entitled them to manage the wealth of the corporation, which they represented outside. They were prelates of the highest rank in the Chełmża chapter. The analysis of their career let us draw a few conclusions. The territorial origin was defined for 16 clergymen, which means more than a half of them. Four of them came from the Culm diocese, more precisely from Toruń, 5 from Pomerelia, 3 from Silesia, 2 from the Reich, and 1 from the Pomesanian diocese and 1 from the Ermland (Warmia) diocese. As can be seen, the local recruitment prevails, being limited to the authority of the Teutonic Order. The social background was defined for 12 provosts. One came from ministeriales of the Reich, others were representatives of the bourgeoisie (5 of them came from patrician families of Toruń and Gdańsk). Five of them had university education. The place of university studies was not defined for one of them. Among the rest, two studied in Prague, one in Rostock, and one in Leipzig and Vienna. The Chełmża provosts, as clergymen having great authority inthe diocese, were taken into account during the attempts to establish a higher education institution in the Teutonic State in Prussia. They were to get the right to give academic titles. They did not use those rights, as a university in Prussia was never established. Another interesting aspect are contacts of provosts with the Holy See. The clergymen were appointed by the popes to become conservators of the rights of bishops, chapters, chapter provosts. They also investigated complaints, collected back tithes, introduced the clergy to benefices. They also turned to the Pope, the evidence of which are requests for plenary indulgence in articulo mortis.

Formation of the Vilnius Cathedral Chapter was a long process since its inception in 1388 to the middle of the sixteenth century. As the capital city of the cathedral chapter of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from the beginning of its existence in the system and the organization was inspired by the Cracow Cathedral Chapter. Under the papal foundation bull by pope Urban VI Pontifex Maximus to erect bishopric of Vilnius the first two of the Prelature were founded (provost and dean) and 10 canonries. All of them were endowed in 1387 by king Vladislav II Jagiello. The next four prelate names: custodian, archdeacon, scholastic and cantor, and two canonries were developed under the efforts of successive monarchs, bishops and Chapter. The structure of the Chapter was finally clarified around 1525, which since then consisted of six prelates and 12 canons. In such organizational frameworks the Vilnius corporation canons and prelates survived until the end of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Individual members of the Chapter had a specific range of privileges and obligations which in the case of prelates were assigned to each of the dignity of the individual. Competence of canons were evolving, depending on the current needs. In the reporting period, the corporation prelates and canons in gremio constituted under the church law a control body of the actions of diocesan bishops, which was de facto institution co-managering of the diocese.
