释义 | Salicadj.1 1. Salic law n. in early use, and still in popular language, the alleged fundamental law of the French monarchy, by which females were excluded from succession to the crown; hence gen. a law excluding females from dynastic succession. In this sense the word has been spelt Salique and pronounced /səˈliːk/.The ancient text which under the name of the ‘Salic law’ was adduced in favour of the succession of Philip V in 1316, and afterwards used to combat the claims of Edward III of England (and his successors) to the French crown, was really a quotation from the Lex Salica (see sense 2); the words however (cap. lix. §5 of modern editions) have no reference to succession to the crown, but merely state that a woman can have no portion of the inheritance of ‘Salic land’ (terra Salica); the precise meaning of this term is disputed, and in the earliest form of the code the word ‘Salic’ is omitted.
