Description
Abstract (cited)
This article, treating the laws in their context as well as specific legal references in the Romances, examines the transactional nature of insult and redress as portrayed in medieval Welsh law and literature. The laws contain commentary on hierarchy and behavior, and the narratives show to some extent how the laws worked. Both shed light on the values of the society that produced the literature.
