Первые упоминания в английских источниках относятся к середине 16 века:
Salic law
[ad. F. salique or med.L. Salicus, f. Sali (see SALIAN2).]
1. Salic law: in early use, and still in popular language, the alleged fundamental law of the French monarchy, by which females were excluded from succession to the crown; hence gen. a law excluding females from dynastic succession. In this sense still often spelt Salique and pronounced (slik).
The ancient text which under the name of the ‘Salic law’ was adduced in favour of the succession of Philip V in 1316, and afterwards used to combat the claims of Edward III of England (and his successors) to the French crown, was really a quotation from the Lex Salica (see sense 2); the words however (cap. lix. §5 of modern editions) have no reference to succession to the crown, but merely state that a woman can have no portion of the inheritance of ‘Salic land’ (terra Salica); the precise meaning of this term is disputed, and in the earliest form of the code the word ‘Salic’ is omitted.
a1548 HALL Chron., Hen. V (1550) 4b, The lawe Salicque was only fayned and invented to put your noble progenitours and you [Hen. V.] from your lawfull right and true inheritaunce. For they say that Pharamond made the lawe for the land Salicque, which the glose calleth Fraunce.
1599 SHAKES. Hen. V, I. ii. 39. Ibid. 91 They would hold vp this Salique Law, To barre your Highnesse clayming from the Female.
