History

This institution dates from the count Alphonse the Jordan, the son of Raymond IV of Toulouse. The advisers of the count form with the judges of the count the chapter says the capitolum . This chapter, at the time of the crusades, judges the lawsuits between merchants. The members of this municipal college adopt the title of consuls, then of capitouls.

In 1147, Alphonse the Jordan writes the privileges and fixed with 24 the number of the consuls. There are six districts in Toulouse, it indicates six notable then to shelter and consider the businesses commercial. In 1152, Raymond V writes a charter considered as the first local by-law. The chapter then includes/understands four judges, two lawyers and six capitulary. The capitulary ones seize little by little the power by eliminating lawyers and judges and, in 1188, the capitouls benefit from a war between Raymond V of Toulouse and the king of England and Aragon to tear off autonomy. The count confirms the capacity of the consuls to crowd in front of the square of the Saint-Pierre church of the Kitchens. The consuls have from now on the justice and policing powers, the lawful capacity, the capacity to fix and raise the Impôt S, the capacity to manage a Milice and to make the Guerre. The count Raymond V capitulates and the consuls swear fidelity to him. It is the installation of the capitouls .
