Lex Saxonum
The Lex Saxonum (Law of the Saxons) is one of the early medieval Germanic tribal rights and was issued in 802 under Charlemagne to soften the harsh measures he took against the Saxons to be subjugated from the year 785 . The Lex Saxonum was, so to speak, a compromise in which Franconian imperial law and traditional Saxon tribal rights complemented one another.
