Incompatibilitas
Incompatibilitas (a Latin term, meaning "incompatibility") was a principle instituted in the Kingdom of Poland (later, from 1569, in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) which forbade an individual to hold two or more official administrative positions. The principle of incompatibilitas evolved in the 15th-16th centuries in response to a demand from lesser nobility (szlachta), and was designed to curtail the sway of more powerful nobility (the magnates).
