The Edict of Paris (in Latin: Chlotarii II Edictum, in French: Édit de Clotaire II) was promulgated 18 October 614 in Paris by Chlothar II, the Merovingian king of the Franks. It is a body of legislation focused on administering justice and ensuring the rights of the church, aristocracy, and people of Francia.[1] The 24-article Edict was issued directly after the Council of Paris; many of its clauses were based on the canons of the church council. It is the last of the Merovingian capitularia, a series of legal ordinances governing church and realm.[2]
