Anglo-Saxon law was the legal system of Anglo-Saxon England from the sixth century until the Norman Conquest of 1066. It combined unwritten local customs, known as folk-right, with written statutes that kings issued in consultation with their witan, or advisory council. In the later Anglo-Saxon period formal courts developed to administer justice, and enforcement rested with royal officials such as ealdormen and sheriffs alongside community-based mechanisms of collective responsibility.

Entity-backed identity for the legal family value this legal-system already carries as an enum fact, resolved to a legal-system entity by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The enum fact itself stays on the entity unchanged.
