Law Code of 1255

The Law Code of 1255, established in Spain, was a formal set of legal guidelines created under King Alfonso X of Castile. It aimed to unify and standardize laws across the realm, covering areas like justice, property, and civil matters. The code sought to create a coherent legal framework accessible to judges and officials, promoting fairness and consistency. While not fully enacted universally, it marked an important step toward modern legal systems by consolidating diverse regional laws into a structured, written code. Its influence extended beyond Spain, impacting medieval legal traditions in Europe.
