643 CE

Rothari, King of the Lombards, promulgates a collection of Lombard laws—closely related to those of the Saxons, Anglo-Saxons, and North Germans—in his Edict of 643, notable for its clear systematization and exactness of expression.

The first codification of Lombard law (written in Latin), the edict guarantees rights only for Lombard subjects.
