Salic law The legal code of the Salian FRANKS, which originated in 5th century Gaul. It was issued by CLOVIS (465–511) and reissued under the CAROLINGIANS. It contained both criminal and civil clauses and provided for penal fines for offenders. It also laid down that daughters could not inherit land and was later used in France and in some German principalities to prevent daughters succeeding to the throne.
