THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES LAW IN MACEDONIA

Abstract

As one of the most important legal sources in Macedonia in
the early middle ages is the common law. Namely, that is the essential
legal source in the Macedonian Sclavinii in the 7-th and the 8-th
century AD, although according to the opinion of Nikola Sotirovski2
,
it is probable that the Roman-Byzantium Law had proper influence in
the legal regulations. Thus the common law remains significant legal
source in all the middle ages. For example, Scilica-Kedrin has written
that when Macedonia was conquered by Vasilie II, he ordered that
“the state will be governed by domestic managers and customs just
like when Samuel ruled”
