Breviary of Alaric - 506

Timetable of Legal History logoA code of law which has survived in numerous copies due to its intentionally wide distribution throughout the realm of the Visigoth kingdom of Toulouse, which stretched from modern-day Spain to Paris.

The Visigoths, including the kingdom of Toulouse, were defeated by Clovis I in 507, during a battle at which Alaric II was killed.

Unless otherwise noted, this article was written by Lloyd Duhaime, Barrister, Solicitor, Attorney and Lawyer (and Notary Public!). It is not intended to be legal advice and you would be foolhardy to rely on it in respect to any specific situation you or an acquaintance may be facing. In addition, the law changes rapidly and sometimes with little notice so from time to time, an article may not be up to date. Therefore, this is merely legal information designed to educate the reader. If you have a real situation, this information will serve as a good springboard to get legal advice from a lawyer.
