Assertio Libertatis ...

<p><i>Assertio Libertatis...</i> is a historical defense of the freedom and rights of the city of Hildesheim. This anonymous German text offers a detailed and foundational argument (Gründl. Rett: Und Behauptung) for the city's liberties. The work likely served as a key document in ongoing political and legal debates concerning Hildesheim's autonomy within the broader context of the Holy Roman Empire.
