By the Salic law, as the lawyers called it, the crown was given, on the death of Charles IV. BY THE CALIC LAW AS THE LAWYERS CALLED IT THE CROWN WAS GIVEN ON THE DEATH OF CHARLES TH
yons, hitherto an imperial city under its archbishop. Philip died in 1314; and his three sons--_Louis X._, _Philip V._, and _Charles IV._,--were as cruel and harsh as himself, but without his talent, and brought the crown and people to disgrace and misery. Each reigned a few years and then died, leaving only daughters, and the question arose whether the inheritance should go to females. When Louis X. died, in 1316, his brother Philip, after waiting for the birth of a posthumous child who only lived a few days, took the crown, and the Parliament then declared that the law of the old Salian Franks had been against the inheritance of women. By this newly discovered Salic law, Charles IV., the third brother, reigned on Philip's death; but the kingdom of Navarre having accrued to the family through their grandmother, and not being subject to the Salic law, went to the eldest daughter of Louis X., Jane, wife of the Count of Evreux.
