Edict on vellum
of the emperor Federico Barbarossa (1163)
The occupation of Cittą di Castello by Federico Barbarossa (1123-1190) is testified through two edicts issued on 6th November 1163 by which
"he places the Bishop (Corbello, schismatic) and the Canons under his
protection, exempting their persons and things belonging to them from any form of imposition or dues and restoring the benefits belonging to their exiled
predecessors" (Magherini - Graziani - Storia di Cittą di Castello, cit. I ip 69). The edict was issued "in favour of the Castellan Canonry ", that is to
say, of the Canons who lived a communal life within the buildings adjoining the Cathedral called "the
Canonry", and was sent to the Prior Raniero "against the usurpers of the possessions that the Canonry owned in Castellana Civitate et eius Curia ...." (G. Muzi - Memorie Ecclesiastiche e Civili di Cittą di Castello II p. 82).
