Chlothar II Issues the Edict of Paris

King Chlothar II promulgated the Edict of Paris, which served as a cornerstone legal document for the Frankish nobility. This edict was significant as it affirmed the rights of the Frankish nobles while also instituting specific measures that explicitly barred Jews from holding any civil employment within the Frankish Kingdom. The edict sought to outline the legal framework of power dynamics and societal roles within the kingdom, emphasizing privileges for certain groups while disenfranchising others.
