Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores how criminal law and punishment developed within the Belgic regions during the Middle Ages, from the fall of the Western Roman Empire around the 5th century, to the extinction of the Carolingian dynasty in the 10th century. The author asserts that the primary foundations of criminal justice in this era were laid by the Salic Law, Ripuarian Law, and the capitularies of Frankish kings. While these codes dealt largely with private rather than public wrongs, both legal and historical sources indicate that serious crimes against the state or community were also recognized and dealt with severely. The author also argues that the concept of private vengeance, prevalent in earlier Germanic societies, remained a central principle underpinning criminal justice in the Belgic regions. Victims of crimes were entitled to seek compensation and restitution, while the state also imposed fines and other penalties on offenders. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the origins and evolution of criminal law and punishment in a key region of medieval Europe, shedding light on the complex interplay between legal codes, social norms, and the exercise of public authority during this transformative period.
