Egidian Constitutions

1357 · 14th century · Also known as Constitutiones Aegidianae

The Egidian Constitutions were a legal code for the Papal States issued in 1357 by Cardinal Gil Álvarez Carrillo de Albornoz, papal legate in Italy during the Avignon papacy. Named after his Latin name, Aegidius, they organised the provinces of the Church's state, the powers of its governors and the rights of its towns. They remained the basic law of the Papal States until 1816.
