I really need headlines like this to just not happen. Incest does not mean he was ruling elite. He was potentially ruling elite based on his burial location and it is very big that we have identified his parents.https://twitter.com/rtenews/status/1273274625267503106 …

Is there any textual evidence about first-degree incest as a custom once we get to the historical period in Ireland? Do I recall correctly that one of the law tracts says it’s OK to marry a first cousin in order to keep property in the family?

Not familiar with the law tracts on marriage, although incest is a common trope in the sagas. Unfortunately we have so little evidence for women in the genealogies, but to my recollection I haven’t found specific evidence of first cousins/siblings etc.
