The Salian dynasty or Salic dynasty (German: Salier) was a dynasty in the High Middle Ages. The dynasty provided four kings of Germany (1024–1125), all of whom went on to be crowned Holy Roman emperors (1027–1125).
The later Merovingian kings responsible for the conquest of Gaul are thought to have had Salian ancestry, because they applied so-called Salian law (Lex Salica) in their Roman-populated territories between the Loire and Silva Carbonaria, although they also clearly had connections with the Rhineland or Ripuarian Franks.

The Salic law (/ ˈ s æ l ɪ k / or / ˈ s eɪ l ɪ k /; Latin: Lex salica), also called the Salian law, was the ancient Frankish civil law code compiled around AD 500 by Clovis, the first Frankish King. The written text is in Late Latin, [1] and contains some of the earliest known instances of Old Dutch. [2]

Clovis was the son of Childeric I, a king of the Salian Franks, and Basina, a Thuringian princess. The dynasty he founded is, however, named after his supposed ancestor, Merovech . Some sources claim that Clovis' grandfather was Chlodio , but his exact relation with Merovech is not known.
