Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the provisions of one of the most important sources of early medieval European law, but little studied in Russian historiography – Ripuarian Law, namely, aspects of judicial proceedings. The aim of the study was to identify both the general features of the judicial process that were perceived by the Ripuarian Franks from the legislation of the Salic Franks, in particular, the Salic Law, and the features that reflect aspects of the socio-economic development of Ripuaria. In the course of the study, firstly, the provisions of the Ripuarian Law were identified, which correspond to the existing ideas about the legal proceedings of the Franks – about the procedure for summoning to court, about the types of evidence, etc.; Secondly, in accordance with the purpose of the study, deviations from the practice of legal proceedings adopted by the Salic Franks were identified, which are characteristic of the Ripuarian Franks and are subject to study in conjunction with them (in particular, a certain simplification of judicial procedures, attention to certain types of evidence, etc.).
