- Title
Der Schutz unmündiger Kinder in der ›Lex Salica‹.
- Authors
Seebold, Elmar
- Abstract
The protection of under-age children in the LS is very strict: In case of death of the young or unborn child the fine (›Wergeld‹) is three times as high as normal. There are two cases to be considered: The young boy under 10 years (later under 12 years) gets obviously a special hairstyle; so the text is formulated according to hairstyle and therefore regulations for cutting the hair of young children are included. The other parts deal with pregnant women, and their protection is extended to all women of childbearing potential.
