This short volume contains two letters and one charters, composed by the famous queen-consort of Hungary, co-signed by two of her sons who reigned as kings in their own right. The 1163 Charter of Confirmation issued by King Stephen III of Hungary, son of King Géza, affirms the authority and possessions of the Archbishop of Split, Peter, and the Church of Saint Domnius. The charter reiterates the submission and privileges granted by King Géza to the archbishopric and its parishes across Dalmatia, including key churches and chapels such as Corbauie, Bugani, Plasi, Vallis Vinarie, Modrusse, Novigradi, and chapels of Saint Stephen and Saint Moses in Salona. The 1193 letter from King Béla III of Hungary, addressed to church officials and subjects, reaffirms the church's autonomy and safeguards ecclesiastical authority. It confirms Pope Alexander III's exclusive right to depose or transfer bishops without secular interference and prohibits lay administrators from managing episcopal affairs, mandating instead honest clerics to oversee church properties.
