This month's Talk
Medieval Life through the Lens of Early Irish Law Texts
Medieval people had many of the same questions as people today. What makes a family? How should a nation be run? How should justice be served? Who should handle healthcare? The rich legal traditions of pre-Norman Ireland give us an idea of how one medieval culture handled such questions—and their answers may not be what you’d expect!
