Description

The Counts of Cilli engaged in both secular and church politics. Two of the most important tools that they used to wield their influence on church politics were the right of patronage and advocacy over church institutions. Patronage enabled them to fill vacant ecclesiastic offices with priests from the ranks of their clientele, and advocacy allowed them to administer church property as well as exercise patrimonial rights and draw revenues arising therefrom. They further strengthened their reputation and influence in the Church or, rather, its institutions through generous service as benefactors of the Church, which earned them numerous benefits, not least being buried in monasteries.

      • Celjski grofje so bili dejavni tako v posvetni kot cerkveni politiki. Najpomembnejši orodji za poseganje v cerkveno politiko sta bili patronatna pravica in odvetništvo nad določeno cerkveno ustanovo. Patronat jim je omogočal kadrovati v cerkvenih ustanovah, tako da so na proste cerkvene službe predlagali duhovnike iz vrst lastne klientele, odvetništvo pa upravljati s cerkveno posestjo ter iz tega naslova uživati pripadajoče oblastne pravice in prihodke. Njihov ugled in vpliv v Cerkvi oziroma njenih ustanovah je krepilo tudi številno cerkveno dobrotništvo, ki jim je prineslo mnogo koristi, ne nazadnje pokop v samostanih.
