Lex Thuringorum
The Thuringian tribal law, known for short as Lex Thuringorum , has been handed down in full as “Lex Angliorum et Werinorum hoc est Thuringorum”, and is an early medieval legal record that applied to the areas in Thuringia inhabited by the Anglers and Warnings tribes . It was initiated by Charlemagne .
The Anglers settled in the Gau Engilin (Franconian: Englehem) south of the Unstrut , and the Warnen in the Werinofeld landscape between Saale and Elster .
The Lex Thuringorum was edited using the Lex Ribuariorum and also the Lex Saxorum 802 or 803 .
