Si aliquis ex fidelibus nostris, post obitum nostrum (...) seculo renuntiare voluerit et filium vel totem propinquum habuerit, qui rei publicae prodesse valeat, suos honores (...) ei valeat placitare.

Et si in alode suo quiete vivere voluerit, nullus ei aliquod impedimentum facere praesumat, neque aliud aliquid ab eo requiratur, nisi solummodo ut ad patriae defensionem pergat.1

If one of our faithful, after our death, wishes to renounce the world for his love of God, leaving a son or a close relative able to serve the Republic [the State], let him be allowed to transmit his estate to whomever he designates. And if he wishes to live placidly on his estate, let no one dare hinder him, and let him not be asked for anything, except to defend his country.—Charles the Bald. Capitulary of Quierzy (877)
