Placitum
In the early Middle Ages, a ''placitum'' (Latin for "plea") was a public judicial assembly. ''Placita'' originated in the Frankish kingdoms in the seventh century. After the Frankish conquest of Italy in 774, ''placita'' were introduced before the end of the eighth century.〔Mathieu Arnoux, "Placitum", in André Vauchez (ed.), ''Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages'' (James Clarke & Co, 2002; Oxford Reference Online, 2005).〕
Originally, the term most commonly referred to the ''placitum generalis'', or ''conventus'', a plenary assembly of the entire kingdom, whereat military and legislative matters, such as the promulgation of capitularies, predominated over judicial functions. The nature of these assemblies is described by the ninth-century prelate Hincmar in his ''De ordini palatii''. Later, the term ''placitum'' came primarily to prefer to the public court presided over by the ''centenarius'' or to the higher court of the count (otherwise called a ''mallus''). The frequency at which ''placita'' were held was governed by capitularies. All free men were required to attend and those who did not were fined. Eventually, because the counts, their deputies (the viscounts) and the centenars abused their power to summon in order to profit from the fines, men were required to attend no more than three ''placita'' a year. The presiding magistrate usually brought with him judges, notaries and ''scabini'' to address questions of law.〔
The public ''placitum'' declined in the tenth and eleventh centuries as the process of "feudalization" turned formerly public offices into seignorial jurisdictions. Nonetheless, the language and procedures of the ''placita'' survived down to the end of the Middle Ages, while the tradition of the ''placita generalia'' was continued in the estates general and the estates provincial.〔
