25 jun 864 año - Edict of Pistres

Descripción:

The Edict of Pistres or Edictum Pistense was a capitulary promulgated at Pistres (modern Pîtres in Eure) on 25 June 864. It is often cited by historians as an example of successful government action on the part of Charles the Bald, King of West Francia.

At the time Vikings more than annually ravaged not only the Frankish coastlands but, with the aid of Europe's numerous navigable rivers, much of the interior also. A king was most valued who could defeat them in the field and prevent their attacks in the future. The purpose and primary effect of the Edict was long thought to be the protection of the cities and countryside from Viking raids.
