This ancient and just system held the fabric of Irish society together.
In this course, you will meet the brehon lawyers and explore the fragments of ancient manuscripts they have left behind for us, gems of wisdom from the ancient past.

  •  The key legal or ‘brehon’ families
  • The famous law schools
  • The principles of justice and logic
  • How the laws had an impact on other aspects of daily life.
  • and much more…

Makes history come alive! Based on in-depth research with constant attention to source material, but course also presents those facts in a way that illustrates how they affected the lives and culture of the people. I live in Arizona, so far from the home of my Irish ancestors. This class helps me understand what it means to be Irish. It connects me with my roots. I purchased the entire set, doing the culture one first, and can’t wait to begin the next one, Mythology.
