Hello to all good gentles on the Merry Rose.  I am in a quandry and in 
need of your kind assistance.  I am to do a paper on the Salic Law 
concerning the theft of pigs.  Though i have a lot of material on the 
history, I need to know more about why pigs were so important to the 
early Franks that they needed such an extensive law about them.  Any 
assistance in finding sourse material or even your own knowledge of the 
subject would be appreciated.

My thanks in advance
