Savigny was born in Berlin on 19 September 1814. His father was the jurist Friedrich Carl von Savigny, who was then privy councillor of the court of appeals, member of the Prussian council of State, and professor at the University of Berlin, and his mother was Kunigunde Brentano, sister of the poet Clemens Brentano.
In the first volume, Savigny treated the history of Roman law from the breaking up of the empire until the beginning of the 12th century.
