Code d'Euric
- Code d'Euric
-
Le Code d'Euric (codex Euricianus) est un ancien texte de loi qui fixe par écrit les lois orales germaniques ou « coutumes », applicables à la population qui s'est établie sur une partie de la Gaule du Sud et de l'Espagne, les wisigoths.
Fort de ses succès militaires face à l'Empire romain, le roi Euric, successeur de Théodoric II, s'est attaché à renforcer la cohésion de son royaume en donnant au peuple wisigoth son premier code de lois. Il fait partie des grands codes de droits promulgués par les royaumes du Haut Moyen Âge qui bien que respectant le système de personnalité des lois, sont largement influencé par le droit romain. Une partie seulement nous est parvenue[1].
Il sera remplacé peu après par le Bréviaire d'Alaric, réalisé et promulgué sur ordre de son fils Alaric II en 506.
