Celtic Law
Celtic Law refers to the legal systems and customs practiced by the ancient Celts, a group of tribes that inhabited parts of Europe, particularly in regions like Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. This legal framework was largely unwritten and based on oral traditions, emphasizing community consensus and the importance of social relationships.
The laws often focused on issues such as property rights, family matters, and disputes between individuals. Brehon Law in Ireland is one of the most well-documented examples, highlighting the role of judges, known as Brehons, who interpreted and enforced these customary laws within their communities.
