Frisian Law refers to a collection of legal customs and practices that originated in the Friesland region of the Netherlands and parts of northern Germany. These laws were primarily based on local traditions and were distinct from the Roman law that influenced much of Europe. They governed various aspects of daily life, including property rights, marriage, and inheritance. The origins of Frisian Law can be traced back to the early Middle Ages, with its most notable codification occurring in the 15th century. It reflects the unique cultural identity of the Frisians and their emphasis on communal decision-making and local governance. Over time, Frisian Law has influenced modern legal systems in the region.
