Law Code
The laws of the land, in the common tongue so that none may dispute their meaning.The laws of the Anglo-Saxon people were inspired by the 'leges barbarorum', which were the early law codes that governed most Germanic societies. However, Anglo-Saxon laws were written in their native tongue as opposed to Latin, and were generally decided by committee, at least at first, rather than being version of Roman law. Anglo-Saxon law was first codified from its oral roots by King Aethelberht of Kent, "according to the examples of the Romans", which most historians take to mean as written down, rather than citing Roman legal precedent. He also decreed that it was to be written in Old English, rather than Latin, which established a tradition which lasted almost five hundred years.
