The laws of the Salian Franks - the tribe who founded the French kingdom - stated that landed property could only be passed down through the male line. This was later amended to allow a daughter to inherit if there were no sons. Originally, the law did not mention inheritance of kingship, but its original spirit produced an absolute rule that the throne of France could never be occupied by a woman. This is the context in which Salic Law is most often mentioned.
