Franconia is a state founded after the migration of the Germanic tribe called the Franks in the area of the former Roman province of Gaul, ie. what is now France. It was founded by Clovis I, the first crowned king of the Franks in year 496. The greatest success Frankland has made in the 9th century during the continuous rule of Pepin of Herstal, Charles Martel, Pepin the Short, Charlemagne and Louis the Pious. At first he was allowed to resettle them in areas of present-day Flanders and the Netherlands south of the Rhine. Dutch language that still exists in this area is the direct successor to be spawned from the Frankish language. Thus, the Franks became the first Germanic people with permission to settle on Roman soil. From this area Franks began to spread, and eventually occupied most of Roman Gaul north of the Loire valley and east of Visigothic Aquitaine. State structure is comprised of King, the National Assembly, Parliament lords, the army and the courts of the time, and of course the church. From the sources of law it will be displayed the two documents under the name Lex Wisigothorum (Gothic Code) and Lex Salica (Salic law). Criminal law and procedural law of Frankland are the rights that are entirely derived from Salic law. Family law is up to the 8th century, mostly only indirectly and to some extent governed by tribal laws, and it's more regulated by practices. The provisions of family law are contained in more titles of Salic law. Inheritance law is regulated by customary law of the tribe, that is contained in Salic law and applies in most cases to movable property. Property law was related to the protection, while the mandatory right is down to the given word that is kept, ie. contract is formed by a solemn word.
