(Mutual Relations and Disputes Over Convents Between Franciscan Conventuals and Observants in Medieval Hungary)

Abstract: In Hungary, from the 15th century onwards, both Franciscan observances, the older Conventuals and the stricter Observants, were active. This paper will discuss the ways of resolving the conflicts between these two parts of the Franciscan Order, still outwardly united at that time. The disputes were resolved at the local, provincial, and even at the highest level. The Observances communicated with each other through letters, provincial chapters, but also through the intervention of the Pope or the Minister General of the Order. The temporal delimitation of the issue under study will be approximately for the period of the 15th century until 1517, when the official division of the Order into Minorites and Franciscans took place. The disputes naturally did not cease, as two provinces were established on the territory of Hungary, which territorially overlapped each other.
