Excommunicates' loss of legal rights in the medieval canon law had its origin in Roman infamy. Roman emperors in the late empire legalized the loss of legal rights against infames who were defamed due to their undesirable behaviors. In the beginning, infamy was accepted in canon law for the protection of priests from the destructive and trivial criminal sues against them. Pseudo-Isidore decretal collection rendered all the excommunicates as infames, so that it attempted to take off the legal rights from them. It was Decretum Gratiani which systematically legalized the loss of legal rights against excommunicates, analyzing that of infamy in Roma law. Gratian considered that the plaintiffs should be equal with the defendants in moral purity. On the other hand, he admitted an exceptional case that the excommunicated could accuse enormous wickedness just like heresy and sacrilege to the criminal court. Even though the dignity of Deretum Gratiani was in the highest position, it caused a polemical controversy among the canonists. In the subjects of strong controversy there was 'exception' which could be suggested to the judge in the court. Its purpose was not only to report that plaintiff was in the state of excommunication, but also to take off his legal rights in the court. Temporally there was an inclination to mitigate the burden of plaintiff to be suspected as excommunicate under the reign of pope Innocent IV. Nevertheless, the mitigation was criticized by strong conservative canonists like Hostiensis who was very close adviser to Innocent IV. Through thirteenth century excommunicates' loss of legal rights became to be hardened. Main reason of this situation could be found in the wide spread of heresy in the century.
