This law was by no means intended to cover all matters of inheritance—for example, not the inheritance of movables—only those lands considered "Salic"—and there is still debate as to the legal definition of this word, although it is generally accepted to refer to lands in the royal fisc. Only several hundred years later, under the Direct Capetian kings of France and their English contemporaries who held lands in France, did Salic law become a rationale for enforcing or debating succession. By then it was somewhat anachronistic—there were no Salic lands, since the Salian monarchy and its lands had originally emerged in what is now the Netherlands.
