Epilógus
Diplomatarium comitum terrestrium Crisiensium (1274-1439) perambulation was not required.115 As in the previous period, it was not necessary to record the names of the witnesses in the charter. The witnesses were only spoken of when a perambulation was required, when they were the neighbours of the estate in question or members of the same kindred as the sellers.116 In contrast to the fourteenth century, there are ten extant charters from the fifteenth century institution into the estates issued by the comites terrestres. They can be divided into three groups. The first group, by its structure, is fairly simple: in the contextus of a charter, comes terrestris describes how he has sent men to conduct institution into the estate on the request of certain nobiles castri, and these men, after completing the request, reported on the whole process. Most frequently, it is expressed by a general formulation, that after summoning closer and further neighbours and in their presence, the estate or estates in question with all pertinences and without objection were passed on to the claimants. In the charter, witnesses present during the perambulation are listed. At the same time, a detailed description of the borders is not given.117 Second group of charters contain longer narratio which includes reasons for coming and more is known on the conditions of filing of request. For example, from the charter in which several members of the ITegen kindred in 1408 are requesting a perambulation of three estates from the comes terrestris of Križevci, it is evident that two of the estates were hereditary, while one was awarded to their ancestors by the former comes of Križevci, Stephen, in 1324. To prove the ownership, they have shown original charter of the comes. In this group of charters, a detailed description of borders can be found. However, it is not likely that the border description was done in 1408 by men of the comes terrestris. In the aforementioned description of borders, except for few words (for example, use of the preposition infra instead of iuxta), it was taken from the charter of Stephen, comes of Križevci from 1324.118 The third group contains charters, in which the point in question is not only institution 115 18 April 1408 (Documenta 27). 116 16 January 1409 (Documenta 31), more: 13 June 1408 (Documenta 29), 8 July 1411 (Documenta 34), 6 April 1418 (Documenta 47). 117 5 August 1411 (Documenta 35), 4 July 1413 (Documenta 40), 11 May 1423 (Documenta 51). The only case in which a list of witnesses is extant: 15 February 1409 (Documenta 32). 118 7 May 1408 (Documenta 28). In this case there is a list of witnesses. The names of the neighbours during reambulation do not change. Cf. the charter of Comes Stephen of Križevci of 1 October 1324 (MNL OL, DL 38 712; CD 9, doc. 256) and the one of 31 March 1430 (Documenta 57). 130
