The Charter to the Normans, or Norman Charter,[1] is a document granting certain rights or privileges to the Normans, issued on 19 March 1315,[2] by the King of France, Louis X, who, in response to the impatient Norman barons, confirmed all its terms in July 1315.[3]
To appease the Normans' periodic revolts, the king had to recognize the specificity of Normandy, and this charter, along with the second one from 1339, echoing Magna Carta or the Charter of Liberties of the English, would be considered until 1789 as the symbol of Norman particularism.
