King Ruprecht (14001410) from the Palatine House of Wittelsbach is
described in literature as a poor king. The Roman-German kings of
the late Middle Ages were all "poor" as far as the liquid funds to
finance the needs of their imperial government were concerned.
Structurally, the crown had to reckon with two phenomena: the crown
estate had eroded down to the remains despite Rudolf von Habsburg's
reindications. General imperial taxes could not be written out due
to the privilege armor of princes, nobility and imperial cities and
the coherence problem of the royal distance of the north. The
exemplary study examines how the crown dealt with these dilemmas.
Which negotiation methods did the king, court and chancellery find
to finance government activities and how was it possible to set up
an efficient administration? Based on the thousands of promissory
notes and receipts, it is shown why Ruprecht was the late medieval
"king who managed best" (Peter Moraw).
