"Some Aspects of Governor" s Control in Medieval City Communes With References to City of Split Statute Law
Željko Radić
Abstract
The need for impartial and expert leadership caused medieval city communes to entrust administrative control to competent governors who were foreigners. However, they were limited in their function by a range of limitations of power, which is a reflection of the communal spirit's inherent suspicion of all that is unitary and exterior. The author deals with the Split Statute regulations in the year 1312, which portray a rather well-rounded picture of an institution of governor with all the ensuing limitations.
