Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The barbarian peoples who invaded Europe at the beginning of the middle ages, worked in a new legal framework, taking Roman law as the beginning of the new system. These legal systems had antecedents in Roman, Germanic and Latin law. The objective of the regulatory body was to regulate daily life.

During the Middle Ages, the Salic or Salia Law, or more exactly, the Salic laws, were a set of laws promulgated in the early 5th century by King Clovis I of the Franks. This code governs matters of inheritance, crimes, injuries, theft, etc.
