Abstract
Before the Napoleonic Code was established, regionally specific customary laws had fragmented the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of France. Even within the regions themselves, local laws could nuance, contravene or exceed the provisions established by general custom. Interpreting customary law therefore crucially requires considering the geographical areas of its application. Studying data from the ConDÉ corpus dedicated to Norman customary law, this paper explores how indexical frames in these texts define the geographical area where the respective legal regulations are applicable. In addition, the longitudinal development of some temporal frames is examined.
