单词	salic law
释义	> as lemmas Salic law 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.extracted from Salicadj.1 < as lemmas
