	Franks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Franks were one of several west Germanic tribes who entered the late Roman Empire from Frisia as foederati and established a lasting realm in an area that covers most of modern-day France and the region of Franconia in Germany, forming the historic kernel of both these two modern countries.
		The Frankish realm underwent many partitions and repartitions, since the Franks divided their property among surviving sons, and lacking a broad sense of a res publica, they conceived of the realm as a large extent of private property.
		Gregory's sources tentatively identify Meroveus (Merovech) as king of the Franks and possibly a son of Chlodio.

		The Salic Law was a body of law codified to govern the Salian Franks in the early 5th century during the reign of Clovis I.
		However, during the Hundred Years' War, French jurists resurrected the long-defunct Salic Law and re-interpreted it to forbid not only inheritance by a woman but inheritance through a female line in order to disqualify the claim of Edward III of England and his descendants to the French throne.
		By then somewhat anachronistic (there were no Salic lands, since the Salian monarchy was long dead), the law was resurrected by Philip V to support his claim to the throne by removing his niece Jeanne from the succession, following the death of his nephew John.
