The Golden Bull of 1222 was a golden bull, or edict, issued by King Andrew II of Hungary. The law established the rights of Hungary's noblemen, including the right to disobey the King when he acted contrary to law (jus resistendi)[1] [2].

The nobles and the church were freed from all taxes[3] and could not be forced to go to war outside of Hungary and were not obligated financing it[4].

The edict created in seven copies, one for each of the following institutions: to the Pope, to the Knights Templar, to the Knights Hospitaller, to the Hungarian king itself, to the chapters of Esztergom and Kalocsa (Chapters were also document autentificatin places and archives) and to the palatine.[1]
