Saints, Seaways and Dispute Settlements 9
There is one question that remains to be asked. Indeed, the final purpose of
this essay is to raise it, although no attempt will be made to answer it. Given
the ready acceptance of Roman culture in many parts of Wales and their
jealous retention of the same after the Roman departure, given the continued
connections with those parts of Europe which were similarly inclined and the
haven offered by Wales to peoples from certain of those lands as the territory of
the empire was gradually lost, did the Welsh preserve a large, if vulgar, element
of Roman law in their native customs? The difficulty posed by this question is
that the Welsh law books come from a much later period, yet the weight of
archaeological and cultural evidence which derives from the protohistorical
period demands that it be given serious consideration.
