xxii CONSENT AS A CONDITION OF MARRIAGE 341 the age of twenty-five, it was annulled ; if contracted by a person between twenty-five and thirty, it was valid, but disinheritance might be the consequence ; and if contracted by a person above the age of thirty, it had still to be previously notified to the ascendants by " three respectful acts. " 1 Indeed, according to the French ' Code Civil, ' a son under twenty-five and a daughter under twenty-one could not, until 1907, marry without parental c...onsent. 2 Generally speaking, in France and other Latin countries the Roman notions of paternal rights and filial duties have to some extent survived among the people throughout the Middle Ages and long after. In the literature of the eleventh century, says M. Bernard, the paternal character " is every- where honoured, and filial piety everywhere praised and rewarded. In the romances of chivalry fathers are never ridiculous ; nor sons insolent and mocking. . . . Above the majesty of the feudal baron, that of the paternal power was held still more sacred and inviolable.
