Even after the last Merovingian capitulary, kings of the dynasty continued to independently exercise some legal powers. |

The capitulary assembly was made up of provincials, and general vicars, that is to say of elected members in the course of their term, 60 members with the right of vote. |

The Merovingians adopted the capitulary as a tool for the promulgation and preservation of royal ordinances. |
