Frankish Law
Frankish Law refers to the legal system used by the Franks, a group of Germanic tribes that established a powerful kingdom in Western Europe during the early Middle Ages. This legal framework was primarily based on customary laws and traditions, which were often unwritten and varied by region. The laws were designed to maintain order and resolve disputes within the community.
One of the most significant collections of Frankish Law is the Salic Law, which outlined various legal principles, including property rights and penalties for crimes. Over time, these laws influenced the development of medieval European legal systems and contributed to the formation of modern legal concepts.
