Georgievsky E.V. Religious Encroachments in Criminal Law of Early Medieval Germany

Abstract: Religious abuse in the criminal law of ancient and early medieval Germany was paid the closest attention. This is due to the fact that the Frankish monarchy was established by church and at the same time the church in barbarian society was established by Frankish monarchy, and the Frankish kings helped to strengthen the church. This political, legal and social interpenetration was expressed in the fact that Christianity of Merovingian receives character of a "privileged enforcement agency" and belonging to it was not already a matter of free internal beliefs – it was the duty of citizens of the state. All religious crimes in early medieval Germany, as reflected in the first Ancient Germanic law, can be divided into two groups. The first could be considered as criminal acts that have become new laws from pagan times, but did not contradict the Christian laws, either in form or content. The second concerned crimes that infringe on the interests of the Christian religion and emerging in the Christian era. As laid down in the first Ancient Germanic law, religious crimes have not yet been clearly systematized, the more they encroach less on dogma, but rather on external ritual practices, but these standards was already quite stable and reliably defended the new object of criminal law protection in early medieval Germany – the foundations of the religious peace.


Keywords:

early medieval Germany, religious crimes, ritual practices, the Christian dogma, criminal-law protection, idolatry, sorcery, strife in the church, blasphemy, perjury.
