1. salic law

   Salic Law, also known as the Law of the Salian Franks, is a set of historic Germanic legal codes dating back to the Merovingian and later Carolingian periods. It governed issues around civil law, criminal law, and public procedures. One of its most famous principles pertains to inheritance: the so-called Salic Law of Succession, which excluded women from inheriting thrones, fiefs, and other property. The term is often associated with French monarchy where it was invoked in the 14th and 15th centuries to prevent women from ascending to the throne.

1. Salic law

   Salic law, or Salian Law, was the major body of Frankish law governing all the Franks of Frankia under the rule of its kings during the Old Frankish Period, approximately equal to the early Middle Ages. The laws were maintained in written form in the Latin language by a committee empowered by the monarch. Dozens of manuscripts dated from the 8th century of a putative original recension in the 6th century and three emendations as late as the 9th century have survived. Salic law provided written codification of both civil law, such as the statutes governing inheritance, and criminal law, such as the punishment for murder. It has had a formative influence on the tradition of statute law that has extended to modern times in Central Europe, especially in the German states, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, parts of Italy, Austria and Hungary, Romania, and the Balkans.

Etymology and OriginsRate this definition:0.0 / 0 votes

1. Salic Law

   The ancient Frankish law by which females were excluded from the throne. This was originally confined to what were called “Salic Lands,” either, as some say, from the salle, or hall of the owner, or, according to others, from the Salian Franks, those bordering on the Sale or Yssel River; the enactment eventually applied to the heritage of the Frankish kingdom.
