Abstract

Methods for resolving cross-border legal claims between two or more kingdoms appear in various early Irish legal texts. The basic models of cairde, rechtge, and other types of inter-territorial law will be illustrated using a variety of legal texts, including Bretha Cairdi, Slán nAitire Cairde, Críth Gablach, and the tract on the distribution of cró and díbad. By examining the general models of these kinds of inter-territorial dispute settlement, we can begin to understand these methods as cohesive legal institutions and therein provide a premise for further research into inter-territorial affairs in early medieval Ireland.
