At the same time, this period is characterized by the creation of Legal Codes in the individual kingdoms, by which the kings of the time regulated the most problematic legal issues. In my work, I proceeded chronologically in terms of the law of Anglo-Saxons. Firstly, I made a historical introduction to Anglo-Saxon colonization using primary and secondary sources and provided an explanation of the most important institutions that occurred with minor variations in all Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Subsequently, I focused on individual kingdoms, in which written sources in the form of the original Legal Codes have been preserved. Based on these primary and also secondary sources, I analysed the Codes, where I dealt with the legal institutes contained in them, then I compared the codes with each other and pointed...
