... I would recommend that instead of starting out with publications from 1904 (Davis) and 1889 (de Coulanges) one start out with more modern scholarship --...
... Ah, the prejudice of modernity! Nevertheless, as to Sumner Maine I fully concur in due caution in details, but his comparative observations are very ...

Hi everyone, Would anyone have suggestions for poetry/law that would be suitable performing at the Brian Boru Milennium Festival this year? We will be working...
Details of the Brian Boruma Millennium tribute. Dear Fenechas members, Looking again at the message I sent yesterday, it is pretty vague and uninspiring, to...
... Another theory dressed up as a "rule" of Brehon law. Brehon law texts are extensive. Can anyone cite ANY rule on tanistry contained in these texts? Sean...
... How about providing the critical counterweight to those who continue to hype Brian Boru? Morgan Llewellyn is not the first writer of historical fiction to...
Hi all. Sorry to pick up on this line of discussion so late - I have just returned from my trip to Ireland (to attend the Brehon Law Syumposium). ... I don't...

... The 'three kings rule': a king should be the son and grandson of a previous king. This rule is a later adaptation of the three generation rule, which is ...
... The revisionists have spoken! Anyone familiar with the entries in the Irish annals will note how important the Irish annalists regarded the event. Former ...
... I'll respond to this now in part, and again when I've done a bit of digging. One critical counterweight to the form of Boru hype you refer to would be to...
It would seem to me that if one really wants to rank kings, the criteria should be set out. The attributes of each king can be quite different. Some may have...
