Medieval Hungarian society underwent significant changes during the 15th century, which brought many new possibilities for social application. In particular, this affected the inhabitants of the Hungarian cities, who had, in the previous century, gained considerable independence from the power and ownership structures in the country. In the 15th century, the transition to fully emancipated urban settlements with accumulated power and economic potential was completed. This change can best observed through the minutious study of individual persons from this period. A model example of this is the fate and story of the Trnava burgess Erhard Modrer, whose ancestors had played a significant role in the urban formation of Modra, and had also been members of the administrations of Trnava and Kremnica. The example of Erhard Modrer illustrates how, in this period, urban elites were ascending to the highest positions, even reaching the status of the Hungarian nobility.

In the medieval economic agenda of the Roman Curia, the payment of servitium commune constituted the obligation of the holders of offices of higher prelatures, i.e. archbishoprics, bishoprics, provostries and also abbeys with an annual income of at least one hundred chamber gold florins, to pay to the Apostolic Chamber a sum equal to one-third of the annual income of such office and the function and usage of the respective benefice. The possession of these ecclesiastical offices and benefices was already subject not only to papal confirmation, but also to compulsory presentation to the cardinalate (consistory). The records give several details about the individual holders of the higher prelatures, but also about the state of the prelature itself and other circumstances, not infrequently of a non-ecclesiastical nature, and thus also add significantly to the overall social context of historical events. The present study, based on research in the Vatican Apostolic Archives, analyses how the fulfilment of such a duty affected the bishops of Nitra in the 15th and early 16th centuries and thus complements the medieval history of the bishopric of Nitra.

In our study we will take a closer look not only at the settlement of Pezinok itself and its military guard, toll and market functions, but also at the formation of its ecclesiastical centre – the parish and the Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary – because the factor of the magnate’s residence gave it a distinct position in the territory of the Bratislava Provostry. Pezinok was already of considerable importance in Great Moravian times, as it was a settlement situated in the immediate vicinity of a strategic pass through the Little Carpathians. It was this location that resulted in the fact that even after the establishment of the Kingdom of Hungary, its importance was preserved. The settlement situation and archaeological findings make it possible to express the opinion that there must have been a sacral building, which survived until the major rebuilding in the fourteenth century. From 1207 Pezinok became the property of the noble Hont-Poznan family, the ancestors of the local counts. After being settled by a German population, it developed towards urban agglomeration, as a result of which it has been called a town since the fifteenth century.

The canonical institute of visitatio limina apostolorum played a significant role in the middle ages as a power and administrative instrument of the Roman Curia and, together with the institutions of papal legates and nuncios, represented the most important way of exercising papal authority outside the papal state. It evolved from the original pilgrimage of the clergy to the tombs of St. Peter and St. Paul in Rome as the most sacred Christian pilgrimage sites from the time of early Christianity, and later became obligatory. This obligation also applied to the Hungarian episcopate, which has been documented in the archives of the Roman Curia (especially in the archives of the Apostolic Camera) since the end of the 13th century. The intensity of Hungarian episcopal visits ad limina reflected the degree of authority of the Pope in the Kingdom of Hungary and thus also reflected the extent of the power influence of the Papal State on the political situation in the country.
