Franconian law
Franconian law describes the codified popular and customary rights in the Franconian Empire from the 5th to the 9th century and capitularies issued from the 7th century .
meaning
Along with Roman law, Franconian law is the most important historical source of law for the development of German and European law.
The people's rights ( Leges Barbarorum ) of the Salfranken , Rhine Franks and Chamavian Franks, as well as the royal statutes of the Merovingians , and finally the capitularies of the Carolingians have been handed down . In addition, there are the legal records of the tribes subject to the Franks , which for their part - to different degrees - contain Franconian law. Traces of Franconian legal thought can still be found in high and late medieval law books , for example in the Mühlhausen Imperial Law Book , the Sachsenspiegel or the Schwabenspiegel and even in the Golden Bull of Charles IV from 1356 (in the form of court offices ). Franconian law also continues to apply with the so-called Salian Succession, i.e. with the exclusion of female members of ruling dynasties from the line of succession .
