Description
Abstract (cited)
The Meic Fhlannchadha were an important brehon family of the classical Gaelic tradition. As brehon lawyers, they held a privileged position in Gaelic society. Their learning and practice in matters of native law conferred respect and value to them as learned men and scholars. The Meic Fhlannchadha were distinguished in native law and judgements and they produced generations of “law ollamhs” who rendered professional services to Gaelic and Anglo-Irish lords from the fifteenth century. By the time of the collapse of the Gaelic system and its institutions of law in the seventeenth century, the Meic Fhlannchadha used their social position as a means of negotiating the transition toward Anglicization.
