Based on or contained in the code of the Sali-

laws in that code which excluded women from 
inheriting certain lands, probably because cer- 
tain military duties were connected with such 
inheritance. In the fourteenth century females were 
excluded from the throne of France by the application of 
this law to the succession to the crown, ana it is in this 
sense that the phrase Salic law is commonly used.

name of the Sahc Law from the Latin word sal, comme
