oloriel.livejournal.comB2MeM Challenge: "The Vikings invade Britain" on the Maglor in History BINGO card (an uncalled number, G47), and the 2009 prompt for March 22, the principle of Roman law.
Format: Short Story (1165 words)
Genre: none in particular
Rating: General
Warnings: n/a
Characters: Maglor, Alfred the Great
Pairings: n/a
Creators' Notes (optional):
"According to the Romans, the basic principle of the law is that agreements should be respected under all circumstances. Do you agree with this? Is there a time in your life when you had to break this principle? When someone broke an agreement with you? Now write a story, poem or create an artwork where characters are forced to break this principle."
As a matter of principle, I disagree with absolute principles. ;) "Under all circumstances" is always a recipe for trouble. Which is why I have made a historical character, hm, not break but rethink this principle. Of course, "agreement" is a relatively weak translation...
Summary: Alfred of Wessex discusses his planned legal reform with his harp teacher.
