Irish History - Brehon Law - Part 1 of 11

[davidmcg1506]

Incredibly boring. Think I'll get a book. :-)

[vacaboi]

It would be nice to be able to download just the audio of this as an mp3.

mon nom de famille est brehon mais je ne comprend pas se qu'il dit vu que je suis francaise est ce que quelqu'un peut me traduire svp

[Eloaene]

... oh.. and Celts had the best warriors. /shrug. sucks to be everyone else ;P I mean.. the celts put a stop to Viking/ Nordic invasion, they put a stop to the Roman Empire's takeover,they were the only people in history to march to Rome and make it fall. They won almost every battle against every invading force and rarely lost a war..they even trampled so viciously over viking castles and plate armour that for centuries people were so afraid of them they wouldn't dare start war with Ireland.

[Eloaene]

"Brehon Legal system was considered the most advanced system on Earth.?-

LadyJustice666 "

Celts not only possessed the best Legal system in the world, but they possessed the most knowledgeable doctors, best weavers, best metal-smiths, best schools, &almost all the churches ;p. England was jealous of their wealth in trade; royalty bought their wool for heirlooms for centuries; even greece and rome sent scholars to study in ireland; i could go on. There was nothing the world could teach ireland.

[Eloaene]

@stitchedplate41 agree. ;) but hey, wouldn't you say that the Ogham was suitable for the Irish of that time if not just because much of their tradition was oral and not written. Think of the famed sennachie throughout Celtic history. Oral tradition was hugely important and more than that the propper-ness of their oral tradition was a life-or-death situation whereas it ensured a noble family it's position/ wealth etc.. So for a long time, maybe the writing just wasn't as necissary for them.

Since the Ice Age the Druids have committed the Brehon Laws to their memory in Gaelic. In 438 CE by the order of the High King of Tara, Leogaire UiNiáll had his Druid government employe a commission to commit the Druids Brehon Laws to writing by the Chief Druid Dubhtach Maccu Lugir. The High King's personal Druid advisors was Rossa, Fergus, Dara who revised the Druid's Government Brehon Laws for modern times by the three Druid Kings, of Corc, Munster, Ulster.

[MagicTellaVision]

The Druid's Brehon Laws is also known as the Senchus Mór (civil law of the ancient Celts), you are able to read these ancient manuscripts in Old Gaelic, which is located at the Royal Irish Academy and Oxford University. Today the unification of the EU is the unification of the ancient Celtic Kingdoms of Gaul should invest in the preservation of the Druid's Brehon Laws ancient Indo-European Documents and making them accessible for academic study for the next generation of modern Druids.

[MrMickroach]

@TheMcCurdyClan Expert teacher now as well! As well as being a drunk and beating on the little people while in your drunken rages! What a man you are! A loud mouthed bully, no more!

[hmaccord1]

Brehon law associated with Old Irish Church and they some claim wrote first Bible.

Connor McDari claims the ancient language of the Druids was the secret language called Hebrew, As Hebrew is not a race or a single DNA group it could be possible.

Targeted by the Roman church, the Irish church had to go and same for my ancestors who carried the prefix of Maol or Mul which meant they were Evanglising Monks and history say they visited all of Europe up to the 6th century.

Patrick date Celts died 

[exspyrd]

great information in here but listening is comparable to pulling teeth. would be nice to have this information presented as a focused stream without the numerous errrm, ehh and asides distrations. series could be as little as 6 parts i reckon.

[acerb45666555]

i wanna find out for sure if Brehon Law was imposed only from above, or was there a democratic council system? how were the various tribes and clans represented at councils? were women involved in any aspect of this Brehon Law?

[Eloaene]

@acerb45666555 as far as my knowledge goes, women were allowed to hold any position in irish society. Ireland posessed the most just and most equal opportunity culture in the world.. probably even to this day. Until the Angles and Saxxons took over and feudalistic English law took its place.

[freetruthIreland]

thank you for video

[stevienickslover]

stop saying em em em and get to what i wanna hear!!

[IsCumaFut2]

thats the way we talk in ireland brother.

[stevienickslover]

no, thats just posh dub talk, in what annoys a donegal person :) x

[freedomisntpolitical]

@stevienickslover Hes not from Dublin u spanner

[MagicTellaVision]

Since the unification of the EU is the unification of ancient Gaul, born again Celtic Pagans should promote their legal rights through the Druid's Brehon Laws to establish their oath of credibility, which protects your human rights.

Sincerely from the Royal Druids of Tara.

[blacklions714]

Ahh, the Anglos are the last migration to Briton. The Picts were the first, then the Manx later the Gaels. Anglos are the Celti Aryan Saxons, Irish are the Celti Aryan Gaels. We are with the same common ancestry. Study the city of Galicia, and you will learn we had an advanced kingdom previously. We lost our civilisation to a Semitic nation. The Erin peoples were the first in Greece. We were the Galatians, Kingdom of Troy, buy some history books and see for yourself.

[Quentin0000000000]

if we created the kingdom of troy and it was Trojans that created Rome lol

[blacklions714]

Well Rome was an alliance of two major tribes and one in the middle of the two. The Etruscans of the North and the Latins of the South. There was one Celtic tribe that joined the alliance or the Roman Republic. The 3rd tribe was a Celtic tribe from the PO Valley. Our Celtic Race was in every Significant level of civilization. The Anglos pretty much stole our Region due to the fall of the Roman Empire. Other wise the troubles would be the other way around.

[Lillith279]

I am seeking the real answer, because if we treasure our unique culture, then why were we forced to change our letters etc. by our own Government.?

The Japanese etc never changed their writing symbols.

[caemgen51]

So if Irish still used the older spelling, we would understand Brehon law better? Is that what you're saying?

[moonmaidens]

@Lillith279 we werent, it was a little thing called the anglo norman invasion

[LadyJustice666]

Do you happen to know why our ancient alphabet lettering was changed by the Government in the 1960's?

I much prefer to write in the ancient way.

And do you notice that the English language has no words for certain concepts that we have in Ireland?

[Lillith279]

The victor wrote the history, not the looser.

[caemgen51]

So are you saying that Pat's lecture is on the whole wrong?

[Lillith279]

No, I am not saying it is wrong, Pat is giving what he has been taught to believe is the whole story, which of course it is not, hence even he is seeking the truth from the ancient books.

[caemgen51]

Could you be more specific? We're talking about a lecture on Brehon law. What specifics do you know about Brehon law that he missed?

[caemgen51]

The government changed it to make it easier to write I guess. I don't think they should have.

The English language has no words for certain concepts in Irish the same reason Irish has no words for certain concepts in English. Why is this confusing to you?

[LadyJustice666]

Brehon Legal system was considered the most advanced system on Earth.

Is there any chance that this system was brought from Atlantis to Ireland.?

[caemgen51]

Umm, that's a bit of a stretch if you ask me.

[LadyJustice666]

Well, I am thinking, the Chango people were the ones to bring the Matriarchal era to an end, with the killing of the Goddess and the Matriarchal ways, then the Patriarchal system tried to demonise and rid Mother Earth of all traces of the sacred feminine.

Now, we are seeing the revival of the sacred feminine consciousness, so these ancient laws are essential to our future, as we are now almost full circle.

I would like to see and feel the actual manuscripts.

[caemgen51]

I think you're confused a bit. That sounds like a mixture of feminism and fantasy tales.

[LadyJustice666]

Well, we only know his+story and for creation there had to be a male and female energy.

The true story is about to be revealed, when human kind are ready for truth.

Law of Time - all written in the stones - and yet the archaeologists hid the stones found at Newgrange in 1990. Why?

Feminism is a Patriarchal creation, quite

clever on the old divide and rule, unlike our Brehon ancestors.

My interest began while studying Gaeilge in Maynooth college 1973 1977.

[caemgen51]

Instead of babbling about nothing, is there a particular part of Pat's talk that you disagree with? Ireland was the only place in Europe where women were treated more equal as far as marriage rights and property rights, while the rest of Europe treated women like chattel. So what else do you want?

[LadyJustice666]

I do not disagree with Pat at all, it is his opinion and he is entitled to it.

What else do I want?

Respect would be nice.

[Lillith279]

Yes, there is a record of this in our cosmic consciousness, which breitheamhs were also highly tuned to.

[caemgen51]

A record of what exactly?

[soilsigh]

Heard something of the sort before but not laws being brought to Ireland but Ireland being (well some of it) part of Atlantis... Interesting but who knows?

[aiyic]

Michael Tsarion makes claims that Ireland was spawned by Atlantis.

[TheSpliffSmoker]

@aiyic the atlantian myths come from a vague memory of the pre-flood world

tsarion is a deciever

[spacehopperballs]

@aiyic And what an absolute wanker he is.

[spoonogsback]

Hi there slavestorm Im happy to see you here. Im doing my own research on the brehon law with a view to reviving it.

Hope all is well with you.

[yannserrallonga]

ANNOYING TO WATCH

[Nuiceltico]

Great informal Celtic Studies or Irish history talk.

[portumnadaz]

hes very hard to follow. bad speaker that confuses you

[caemgen51]

I hope everyone watching this realizes that this lecture on Brehon Law is just one of eleven other 10 minute videos I have on here? Click on each little video box under the main one to see the next part. You guys need to watch the whole lecture!

[DancinJ34]

Where does this man teach? Thank you!

[caemgen51]

This is just a free lecture that he does at the "House of Ireland" on the first Monday night of each month. He has a different "real" job during the day. But you should check his website for more information on him.

[DancinJ34]

I did and I can't seem to find anything on him.

[caemgen51]

That's because it's mostly stuff he writes about concerning poitics in the San Diego area and some articles he's writen on Irish history. What was it specifically you wanted to know? You could always e-mail him.

[DancinJ34]

I'm graduating in a couple of weeks and I was looking at grad schools for Irish History and I was wondering if he taught anywhere.

[caemgen51]

No he doesn't. But you can always watch his lectures on here.

[DancinJ34]

Where is he speaking here?

[caemgen51]

At a cultural center in San Diego called "The House of Ireland" located in Balboa Park. This Monday night he'll be speaking, the topic is "The Festival of Beltaine." If you're ever in the San Diego area you should come to one of his lectures, they're free.

[HistoryEnglishLover]

I'm learning about the Brehon Laws in school right now! This is really good!

[LIBqueen]

goodnes! his voice sounds like Robin Williams'!

[jamesfenian]

very interesting

[giannisacco]

A bhfuil Gaeilge aici? A Dhia....

[FaoleannOBradaigh]

fís an-suimiúil.

[hlinskona]

I'm a pretty clueless American (with Irish ancestry) but even I have heard of Brehon law. Unfortunately, I've also heard of Oliver Cromwell, who is one of the ancestors of man I currently live with. Oh, the irony.

[ANE32]

Great video! not many people know of the Brehon law unless they are interested in history. These were Irish laws for Irish people and worked very well untill they were taken away from us!
