What is Salic law?
The '''Salic law''' was a set of laws established by [[King Clovis I]] for the [[Salian Franks]] during the sixth century. It stayed important in parts of western [[Europe]] for a long time because [[Charlemagne]] based his laws on the Salic law. One part of Salic law that stayed very important was [[inheritance]] for kings. The Salic law said that land goes to sons and not daughters. {{history-stub}} [[Category:History of France]] [[Category:History of Germany]]
