It includes the 'laws of the court', laying down the obligations and entitlements of the king and the officers of his court, and the 'laws of the country', which dealt with every other topic. Most offenses, including murder, were punishable by payment of a fine or of compensation. Professor Dafydd Jenkins, an eminent lawyer himself, here presents a clear and accurate translation, supported by an introduction and notes which will fascinate and inform general readers and legal historians alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.06 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 21, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56234698572081,"sku":"9781800996885","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9532\/7537\/files\/j3SRJlmK2k9781800996885.webp?v=1789183519","url":"https:\/\/mitchellofficial.com\/products\/the-law-of-hywel-dda-law-texts-from-medieval-wales-translated-and-edited-paperback","provider":"MITCHELL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
