The Right of the First Petitions (German: Recht der Ersten Bitten; Latin: ius primariarum precum) was a customary privilege exercised by the emperors (Kaiser) of the Holy Roman Empire from the thirteenth century onward. This right was not based on a papal grant but developed through established practice. It entitled the emperor, at the time of his coronation, to fill the first vacant prebend at each Stift (a type of collegiate church foundation) within the empire.[1]
Etymology
[edit]Early twentieth-century loanword dictionaries describe the term Precist as a Neo-Latin formation that did not originate in Classical Latin. The word derives from the Latin prex (genitive prexis), meaning “petition.” A Precist was defined as a beneficiary by petition or a person who received a position through this right.[2] [3]
