Description

In Italy there had been a long period so-called the dark age in the various fields such as social, economic and cultural after the downfall of the Roman Empire. This dark age was, at the same time, the age of conflict between the traditional Roman legal institution and the Germanic legal institution which was brought into with the invasion of the German, and there was gradually growing up the ground for realization of the Italian unifying movement by the "Italians".The evidence of this fact is fusion of the Roman law and the Germanic law mediated also by the cannon law, or the formation of the new customary practices which wass more Germanic. This article deals with the process of this transformation through the testamentum, legitima pars and several other practices concerning the succession.
