Ordinance of Normandy
Though originating in earlier times, only recently have we completed the Ordinance of Normandy.

2405historical_info = flavor_fra.1016.historical_info The Coutume de Normandie (Ordinance of Normandy) was a series of legal codes finalized around the 14th century that would directly contribute to the later development of French common law.

However, its true value would be in that it would mark the start of a historic transition back from ad hoc rulings to written and systematic law.
