The Barbarian Code

"Let all who hear the code follow it to the letter."

When the barbarian tribes settled, from the 5th century AD, they gradually began to adopt many of the trappings of 'civilisation'. Nothing if not practical, kings and their free warriors took the existing administrative structure and legal framework and adapted it for their own use. Previously, legal precedents were required to be held in 'advocates' - memories - leading to wildly inconsistent and subjective judgements. Whereas tribal traditions of oral advocacy worked for cultures constantly on the move, tribal laws were adapted to be societal - serving the people as a whole rather than merely resolving isolated conflicts between individuals. As it happened, the barbarians inherited an administrative system that had been in place for many years, during which many of its peculiarities had already been ironed out.
