The laws between Germans and Romans were combined, which help allow women to own property. Kings controlled all “civil, military, and religious offices.” (Levak, Muir, Veldman, 2011, p. 267) War bands led by Germanic chieftains, rewarded warriors with land and loots and created political communities of clans or kin groups. Society, they relied on Roman laws while establishing their own traditional methods of rule. First society was unified by their personal loyalty then legal rights unified society. Kinship became the main obligation to a clan blood relative than citizenship. Secondly, Christianity became the dominant religions while rulers were linked with their subjects. Finally, the Latin became the primary language used for “worships, learning, and diplomacy.” (Levak, Muir, Veldman, 2011, p. 264)
