Moreover, this lamentable behaviour was as rife amongst the clergy as the laity.l Some twenty years later, at the provincial Council of Westminster in 1175, it was proposed that 'the Welsh should not sell churches nor give them in dower nor cling to their kinsfolk nor change wives'. Significantly, this proposition was not enacted in the council's legislation, perhaps because it was deemed unworkable.2 Likewise, at the end of the twelfth century Gerald of Wales noted the prevalence amongst the Welsh of incest, trial marriage, concubinage (reflected in the equal rights of inheritance granted to both illegitimate and legitimate children), the inheritance of ecclesiastical benefices and portionary churches.3 Such criticisms continued in the thirteenth century.

  • Welsh Kings at Anglo-Saxon Royal Assemblies (928–55) Simon Keynes
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Keynes The Henry Loyn Memorial Lecture for 2008 Welsh kings at Anglo-Saxon royal assemblies (928–55) Simon Keynes A volume containing the collected papers of Henry Loyn was published in 1992, five years after his retirement in 1987.1 A memoir of his academic career, written by Nicholas Brooks, was published by the British Academy in 2003.2 When reminded in this way of a contribution to Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman studies sustained over a period of 50 years, and on learning at the same time of Henry’s outstanding service to the academic communities in Cardiff, London, and elsewhere, one can but stand back in awe. I was never taught by Henry, but encountered him at critical moments—first as the external examiner of my PhD thesis, in 1977, and then at conferences or meetings for twenty years thereafter. Henry was renowned not only for the authority and crystal clarity of his published works, but also as the kind of speaker who could always be relied upon to bring a semblance of order and direction to any proceedings—whether introducing a conference, setting out the issues in a way which made one feel that it all mattered, and that we stood together at the cutting edge of intellectual endeavour; or concluding a conference, artfully drawing together the scattered threads and making it appear as if we’d been following a plan, and might even have reached a conclusion. First place at a conference in the 1970s and 1980s was known as the ‘Henry Loyn slot’, and was normally occupied by Henry Loyn himself; but once, at the British Museum, he was for some reason not able to do it, and I was prevailed upon to do it in his place.

  • The Law of Hywel
    02 Elias WHR 27_7_06.qxp 09/08/2006 12:04 Page 27 LLYFR CYNOG OF CYFRAITH HYWEL AND ST CYNOG OF BRYCHEINIOG Cyfraith Hywel (the Law of Hywel) is the name given to the native Welsh law texts, written in Welsh and Latin, which are preserved in manuscripts datable to the period between c.1250 and c.1550, and originating from different parts of Wales.1 These law texts are tradition- ally attributed by their prefaces to the tenth-century king, Hywel Dda.2 Other authors or editors are also mentioned in the texts.3 Some of these were secular rulers or other laymen and some were clerics. The most well-known are Blegywryd,4 Cyfnerth and Morgenau,5 and Iorwerth ap Madog,6 to whom the main Welsh redactions, namely Llyfr Blegywryd, Llyfr Cyfnerth and Llyfr Iorwerth, are attributed. Other names, such as Rhys ap Gruffudd,7 Bleddyn ap 1 I am grateful to Morfydd E. Owen, who first suggested the possibility that the Cynog of the law tracts should be identified with St Cynog and supervised the thesis from which this article is derived. Thanks also to Huw Pryce for his biblio- graphical references, to Howard Davies for his many helpful suggestions, and Helen Davies for help with the Latin translations. For a list of the manuscripts and their sigla, see T. M. Charles-Edwards, The Welsh Laws (Cardiff, 1989), pp. 100–2. 2 J. G. Edwards, ‘Hywel Dda and the Welsh lawbooks’, in D.

  • Legal Practice in Fifteenth-Century Brycheiniog
    STUDIA CELTICA, XXXV (2001), 307–323 Legal Practice in Fifteenth-century Brycheiniog SARA ELIN ROBERTS Jesus College, Oxford The text edited and discussed in this article, a representative of a rare genre in Welsh legal writing, is preserved in a manuscript of poetry, NLW Peniarth 67.1 It describes how a claim to land is prosecuted in Brycheiniog but the legal procedure is neither Welsh nor English; it is a combination of both laws and may be an example of the law used in Marcher lordships. Welsh law is preserved in some forty medieval manuscripts from the mid-thirteenth century onwards. However, the lawbooks do not show the law in action and information on how their rules were practised is rare. It is unlikely that the law- books were followed to the letter even in the thirteenth century, but some elements of the laws were used until the sixteenth century, examples appearing in the late medieval court rolls. Land law was one of the elements that survived, and this is not surprising as the system of land holding is often a tenaciously conservative element in social custom. Llyfr Iorwerth, considered representative of thirteenth-century Welsh law, sets out how to conduct a claim for land.2 The procedure described was inappropriate to the conditions that prevailed in post-conquest Wales, the presence of the king and some of his officers being one feature that had no relevance in late medieval society. Precise indications as to how cases were conducted in the late period are scant. The court rolls – for example, the Dyffryn Clwyd court rolls – provide the names of the litigants, a brief indication of the nature of the action and its outcome, but usually give little detail on court procedure.

Its starting-point is a series of historical texts in Middle Welsh which, from the second quarter of the fourteenth century, begin to appear together in manuscripts to form a continuous history, termed the Welsh Historical Continuum. The central component of this sequence is a translation of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s influential history of the Britons. The main questions of the first part of the thesis are when and why these historical texts were first combined, and to what degree this Welsh historiographical phenomenon reflects broader European trends.

Przepisy prawne oparte na lokalnych, rodzimych zwyczajach i tradycjach zebrano prawdopodobnie w jeden zbiór około drugiej połowy X wieku na zjeździe w Y Tŷ Gwyn (Biały Dom), obecnie Whitland, zwołanym – jak rela- cjonuje preambuła – z polecenia Hywela Dda (c. 880-949/950), króla De- heubarth, regionu południowo-zachodniej Walii. Dzieło Hywela uzupełniono w późniejszym okresie o nowe regulacje w odpowiedzi na dynamicznie zmieniające się realia polityczne i prawne, zwłaszcza penetrację pojęć i in- stytucji pochodzenia anglo-normańskiego.

  • Gender and the Social Imaginary in Medieval Welsh Law
    Journal of the British Academy, 8, 267–293 DOI https://doi.org/10.5871/jba/008.267 Posted 11 December 2020 Gender and the social imaginary in medieval Welsh law Robin Chapman Stacey Sir John Rhŷs Memorial Lecture, read 26 March 2019. Abstract: This talk explores the role played by gender in the social imaginaries implicit in medieval Welsh law. It takes as its starting point the lawbooks of medieval Wales, which have narrative qualities rendering them susceptible to analyses of several dif- ferent kinds, from standard historical readings, to scrutiny as law, to more literary critical methods. Of particular interest in this lecture are the ways in which ideas about male and female inform lawbook depictions of space and time, sexuality in both animal and human bodies, and everyday practices such as farming. Keywords: Gender, Welsh law, space, farming, sexuality, social imaginary. Note on the author: Robin Chapman Stacey is Professor of History at the University of Washington. She is the author of several books and articles on medieval Irish and Welsh law, including The Road to Judgment: From Custom to Court in Medieval Ireland and Wales (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1994), Dark Speech: The Performance of Law in Early Ireland (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2007), and Law and the Imagination in Medieval Wales (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018).
