Advance article @enghistrev! Were the Kildare earls really the most powerful force in 15th/early 16th century Ireland? Or were the #Gaelic #Irish magnates pulling the strings? Read on to find out! #medieval #history

Oooo! Available to pre-order from @ManchesterUP New collection on #Irish #Scottish #Gaelic world in later #medieval #earlymodern period. Essays on lordship, bardic poetry, plantation, and saints’ lives!


Woo hoo! My latest article with @IrishHistSoc has been published 🥳 Were dynastic feuds in Ireland just localised events? Or were they shaped by events elsewhere? And what kind of ripple effects did these conflicts have in both Ireland and beyond? #History #medieval #irish

Lovely present from @earlymodirish today! #renaissance #courtsociety #history #gaelic
