Excerpta de libris Romanorum et Francorum
prose
An early legal Latin collection of well over 60 chapters dealing with matters of criminal law in northwestern France. Its date and provenance are both uncertain, but Breton origins are often assumed, partly on the basis of Old Breton glosses in the earliest manuscript witnesses. It is considered to be a principal source for the relationship between Bretons (the Britons in Armorica) and Franks as it prevailed in the very early middle ages.
