The French Arthurian Narratives really, really, really don't gel with Welsh Law.
So basically:
Morgan would have just divorce Urien using any bullshit excuse, backed up by magic.
Lancelot would've just paid blood-money for damages done to Arthur and Gawain's kin. (Not that it would stop Gawain if Gareth - and specifically Gareth - is killed, but still)
Guinevere would have just been divorced, beaten and/or humiliated like Rhiannon, but death penalty would have been unnecessary and excessive, especially if Arthur's sympathetic to his wife.
Arthur and Guinevere could've initiated divorce anytime for any reason. Especially, when there's a seven-year time period of cohabitation that determines whether or not Gwen is entitled to half of Arthur's property. Childless!Guinevere really makes it even questionable that Guinevere could've kept her queenship past three years, much less seven.
So, all in all, the Arthurian story we know and love only works if its culturally the French High Middle Ages (12-13th Century)

Hello, fellow humans!
I finally finished editing the “One Piece Through Celtic Mythology Lens” video!
For this video, I focus on the possible inspiration of Celtic mythology in One Piece, and how its theme regarding balance translates through the Will of the D.
How do the characters belonging to the D clan fit with characters who belong to either the Tuatha Dé Dannan (gods) or the Fomoire (evil gods)? What is the role of inherited will in terms of divine order? The video strives to answer these questions.
If you’re unfamiliar with Celtic Mythology, I got you <3 I explain all the traditions and beliefs I’ve made this video based on!
If it’s up your alley, please check it out! <3

To be honest, I'm really thankful that when I was born again I threw out all my witch books and tools and separated myself from it for a time.
Because now that I'm re-entering that space and embracing my inner witch again, I have a completely clean slate to work with.
I have a lot of clarity now that I didn't have before and I feel less impressionable and less prone to believing whatever I see on the internet.

Fosterage na Irlanda Medieval - Livro
O'Donnell, T. (2020): Fosterage in Medieval Ireland: An Emotional History, Amsterdam University Press, Amsterdam ISBN: 978 94 6298 941 2 DOI: 10.1515/9789048541973
Sinopse:
O fosterage era uma característica central da sociedade irlandesa medieval, mas a prática generalizada de enviar crianças para outra família para serem cuidadas até atingirem a idade adulta é um tópico surpreendentemente negligenciado. Onde foi discutido, o acolhimento é geralmente conceituado e tratado como uma instituição puramente legal ...

Oof, Vulgate!Arthur...
BTW, the Cyfraith Hywel was codified by King Hywel Dda in the 10th Century from Oral traditions preserved by Bards and Jurists of the time.
If Camelot/Logres' culture was anything like this...

What?
No.
No you CANNOT use Brehon Law as the basis for a new Irish legal system or constitution!
Away with that shite!
Medieval drivel!
For fuck’s sake.

Brehon Law | The Senchus Mór
The Senchus Mór, is the foundation text of the most sophisticated law tradition in Europe of a thousand years ago. The body of law as a whole is often called “Brehon Law” but is properly called Fenechus, which means “that which relates to the Feine” the free classes that formed the main body of Irish society.
And the authors of the Senchus were
Laeghaire, Core, Dairi, the hardy,
Patrick, Benen,…
