Abstract [eng] In the second half of the 16th century, the Grand Duke servants appeared, who got parishes as guards and didn’t seek a more prominent career in the Church. A non-resident parson should get dispensation to have few incompatible benefices (if it was the reason for non-residency), employ a vicar and at least two times per year visit his parish. It is impossible to establish what part of non-resident parsons cared about these requirements. There were cases when they even did not present themselves in the parish, but there are no reasons to consider it as a rule. Scarce are data about parsons’ efforts to establish religion duties, but we can find much information on their concern about property relations. They were active in courts defending church property and incomes and putting efforts to enlarge their benefices. Non-resident parsons could rent parish property and incomes in order to avoid any concerns about benefice keeping. Some tenants got also responsibility for employing a vicar.
