CULTURE IN THE OLD ROMAN SETTLEMENTS IN LODOMERIA AND IN ORLEANS IN THE MIDDLE AGES

Summary/Abstract: Considered an ancient direct source of the law, the customary law or the judicial custom, has traversed centuries becoming today a mandatory norm of conduct in the relationships between states. In the area of public international law, the customary law keeps its material element, which consists of a constant practice of the states. After a review of the diverse theories regarding the origin of the Romanian customary law, this paper is meant to create a parallel between the customary law in the Romanian settlements of Lodomeria in Medieval Poland and the customary law in Orleans region from the same period.Based on a study from the early works of B. P. Hasdeu, this paper tries to find particularly the differences between two customary systems. This can be considered a true challenge due to the fact that the two situations have very different circumstances. In addition, the object of customary laws was quite different, the work of Pothier, „Coutume d’Orleans”, annotated by M. Bugnet and published in 1845, being very thoroughly detailed.
