St Patrick & Slavery
#5
In ancient breton laws (a corpus roughly dated between Vth and IXth centuries), ancilla (female slave) and servus (male slave) are given as compensations, and there is a lot of laws about them.

If you are interested and can read a bit of french, here a synthesis article I wrote about them:

"O niurt Ambrois ri Frangc ocus Brethan Letha."
"By the strenght of Ambrosius, king of the Franks and the Armorican Bretons."
Lebor Bretnach, Irish manuscript of the Historia Brittonum.
