Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this module, we will discuss the medieval laws of Ireland and Wales. In addition to a general survey of the medieval Irish and Welsh laws, we will look at various special problems of these laws and assess the possibilities for drawing conclusions from these lawtexts about medieval Irish and Welsh societies, as well as whether it is possible to reconstruct common Celtic legal paradigms and concepts from these texts. Where required, this will also include references to Roman and early Germanic laws.
Assessment and permitted materials
c. 4000 word referenced essay on one of the following topics (see German version for essay topics, should you require english essay titles, please contact course convener at r.karl@bangor.ac.uk)
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Based on the examination of medieval Irish and Welsh law texts, this module provides students with a detailed understanding of Celtic legal history and literature. Students will gain knowledge of medieval Irish (aim 1), and medieval Welsh law (aim 2), as well as of elements connecting these legal traditions (aim 3). They will also gain a general and detailed understanding of the process of interpreting literary (aim 4) and legal history sources (aim 5). In addition, they will acquire the fundamentals of interpretative modelling in Celtic Studies (aim 6) and the foundations of source criticism in interdisciplinary research in Celtic Cultural Studies (aim 7). Transferable skills taught through this module are the ability for critical assessment of evidence (aim 8) and interpretations (aim 9) and the ability to tackle complex research questions (aim 10).
