With the punishments regarding children and women who are either able to or are currently rearing children being so much more severe compared to the average punishment for murdering a free man, it shows to me that the Franks valued children a great deal. It might be due to the ability to expand the kingdom if there are more people in it.

I find it surprising that calling a woman a harlot is considered to be a worse crime that calling someone a fox or a hare. I also am surprised that it does not have to be proven either.

I find this law surprising, as it seems that hiding someone or a body is deemed much worse than if you just were to have killed someone. The punishment is triple the cost of normal murder.

This law is interesting to me as it clearly shows how much the Franks valued the ability to bear children in women. Killing a woman who can still bear children is 3 times as costly compared to killing a woman who can no longer have any.

I find this interesting, as it shows a lack of equality among the Franks and the Romans. Given that these are Frankish laws, it makes sense that the penalty towards them would be less compared to that of the average free man.
