Description
Abstract (cited)
A deed of adoption by the Meic Fhlannchadha (McClancy) brehon family of Tradraighe, Co. Clare, is translated from Latin. The document provides details on the practice of fosterage amongst learned Gaelic families in the late sixteenth century and is reproduced in the appendices to facilitate greater interest in this oft-neglected area of research into Gaelic social organisation.
