State and Church in Serbia in the 13th century

Abstract

(francuski) This text takes over the introduction of a communication presented at the International Conference held in Belgrad in 2008 under the heading “Serbo-Bulgarian reciprocity in the byzantin world of the thirteenth century”. The author of this communication notes the relationship between the State and the Church in Serbia in the wider context of the international scene in the aftermath of the Constantinople (1204) taking of Constantinople during the fourth crusade and during the long overlipse of the Greek Byzantin Empire, which resulted in a profound change in the area of the Balkans. Without having played a significant role in the very advent of this policy at their borders, Serbia and Bulgaria were forced to adapt to it. It is then that these states establish intense relations with the Western world. Both have access to the rank of monarchy thanks to the royal crowns sent by Pope Innocent III for Bulgaria and Honorius III for Serbia (1217). According to the views of the time, such an act amounted to international political recognition. As regards Serbia, however, the author shows that the establishment of sustained relations with the Western world, above all with the countries of Central Europe (Hungary, Moravia, Germany, Poland) was already before 1204. He then went on to observe the relationship between the State and the Church in Serbian lands on the basis of the lists of bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church. An important place here lies with Notitiae episcopatuum of the 13th century. Dating from Saint Sava’s era, the oldest list was kept in the Collection of Legal Acts of the Krušedol Monastery, while the second dates back to King Stefan Milutin and Bishop Nikodim, the 19th century. These lists of bakers show that the organisation of the Church was following the development of the state.
