Simon Stein thought that this text was a forgery from the school of Reims because it mistakenly equated 40 denarii with one solidus. The Malberg glosses are an "absolutely baffling" set of vernacular marginal notes on this text, whose earliest prologue explains that it was produced by four rectores from the region of Toxandria, between the River Ligeris and the forest of Carbonaria. According to Francois Guizot, this text placed much more emphasis on judicial combat than the related (*) laws of the Ripuarian people who lived along the Rhine. Application of this law caused controversy in 1328, at the end of the Capetian house, and in 1713, when Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI issued the Pragmatic Sanction. For 10 points, passing down land to a daughter was forbidden under what barbarian law code of the early Franks?
