Carta de Logu and Carta de Liga
The Carta de Logu and the Carta de Liga are two documents redacted and undersigned by Eleonora de Arbare' at the end of XIV century. All the legislative body of both Reigns of Onfalu have their foundation in this two documents.
We decide and order: that if someone coming from foreign lands is suspected of a crime against a citizen of Onfalu, that that person will be listened and judged being mindful of their own tradition and customs, as long as they don't go agains the principles of our law.
Carta de Logu
The youngest of the two by about a decade, this Charter collects and consolidates the principles of the law in the reigns of Onfalu. While the original manuscript is safely kept in the Juigadu's Library in Arborea, the content is periodically revised and updated by the ruling Juighissas and a copy sent digitally to all household of Onfalu. Since its first version, it has been regarded as one of the most advanced corpus legi in regards to equality and environment themes and the protection of children.

Great concept for a document (or two)! I like that they are the foundation of legislation. :)
Thank you! The Carta the Logu is an actual old Constitution of Sardinia (mine is a modernized version of it)and it's very cool. It was one of the first to be written in common language instead of latin, so that everyone could understand their rights and duties. It also has some interesting takes on woman's rights and equal inheritance rights for all children.
That's really awesome! :D I never knew that
