Liutprand Leges Anni XIV (726 - 726) Liutprand |
| Quotation |
Si duo fratres aut si pater et filius thingati fuerent si unus ex ipsis sine filiis filiabus mortuos fuerit curtis regia ei succedat. ideo autem hoc scripsimus quia et si adfictum in edictum propriae non fuit tamen omnes iudices et fidelibus nostri sic dixerunt quod cawerfeda antiqua usque nunc sic fuissit. |
| Translation |
If two brothers, or if a father and his son, have been freed by the formal gairethinx procedure, and if one of them dies without sons or daughters, the king's court shall succeed him. We have recorded this provision since, although it has not been written thus in the edict proper, nevertheless all the judges and our fideles have said that the ancient cawerfeda [custom] has been thus up to now.
(Emended from K. Fischer-Drew, trans., The Lombard Laws (1973), p. 177) |
