Brehon Law, the ancient legal system that ruled Ireland during the Middle Ages, is often romanticised as egalitarian and even feminist. But, in this riveting episode, Dr. Gillian Kenny shatters these myths. Join us as we delve deep into a world where sex magic and slavery were prevalent, and discover how Brehon Law actually reinforced a patriarchal society. Tune in to this classic episode, originally released over five years ago, for an eye-opening journey through ancient Ireland. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
