Ireland Under the Normans, 1169-1333 by Goddard Henry Orpen Pdf

Almost a century after the publication of his magnum opus, Goddard Henry Orpen's Ireland under the Normans remains a work of quite the most stupendous scholarship. Every monograph which has since appeared on this era of Irish history has paraphrased him, adjusted some of the details of his account, added some information where a new source has been unearthed, or sought to tell the same story in a different tone. His work cannot be superseded because it is the source and origin of the professional historiography of Anglo-Norman Ireland. The Four Courts Press edition is completely reset, and published in one volume, with an introduction by Seán Duffy of the Department of Medieval History, Trinity College Dublin.

The Normans in Ireland by Richard A. Lomas,Richard Lomas Pdf

The Norman invasion of Britain, as depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry, is well known, but the later invasion of Ireland is much less well documented. Yet much of what we see today in Irish heritage has Norman roots. Ireland and Britain have many similarities, although relations between them have too often descended into bitterness and violence. This book goes back to the starting point of this, more than eight hundred years ago. Beginning with Irish history before the Norman invasion, the book describes how Ireland was conquered and settled by the French-speaking Normans from north-west France, whose language and culture had already come to dominate most of Britain. It looks at the creation and government of a large region called the Liberty of Leinster between 1167 and 1247, a turning point in Irish history, identifying the Frankish institutions imposed upon Ireland by its Anglo-Norman conquerors. The Normans were not always belligerent conquerors, but they were innovators and reformers, who incorporated the sensible traditions and practices of their subjugated lands into their new government. In little over one hundred years the Normans had a transforming effect on British and Irish societies and, while different in many ways, both countries benefited from their legacy.

The Deeds of the Normans in Ireland by Evelyn Mullally Pdf

The Deeds of the Normans in Ireland (La Geste des Engleis en Yrlande) is a primary source for the history of Ireland in the twelfth century. Formerly edited as The Song of Dermot and the Earl, it is the only vernacular text to chronicle how Diarmait Mac Murchada brought Richard de Clare (Strongbow) to Ireland from Wales and how Henry II of England followed and established his régime. The text is incomplete, but at nearly 3,500 lines, it is by far the most substantial item written in French in Ireland in the Middle Ages and it is a significant example of the Anglo-Norman dialect of medieval French. A few words of Irish are preserved in it and it offers clues to the pronunciation of Irish at the end of the twelfth century. The text is also a valuable source for the history of Irish place names and personal names and includes many interesting phonetic variations. This is a new critical edition of the text. It includes a facing translation, a history and description of the manuscript, a study of the anonymous author, an analysis of the language, textual and historical notes, maps, a chronology, a genealogical table, a select glossary and an index of proper names.

Ireland Before the Normans by Donncha Ó Corráin Pdf

A revised and expanded second edition of a classic work on the history of early medieval Ireland c.800 to the coming of the Normans, first published in 1972.

With a new bibliography and up-to-date references and notes.The book presents an original assessment of the changing structure of Irish society in the period of the Viking wars and beyond -- a period of violent change in some aspects but one of extraordinary continuity in others. The most interesting developments -- the simplication of Irish class structure, the emergence of a new monarchy based on farflung dynasties, and the reform of the Irish church and the growth of institutions -- are treated in detail.

Anglo-Norman Parks in Medieval Ireland by Fiona Beglane Pdf

This book examines the evidence for medieval parks in Anglo-Norman Ireland. It is the first book on the subject and concentrates on the parks documented in the period 1169 to c.1350. Drawing on archaeological fieldwork, historical and place-name evidence, the book generates a broad understanding of the role of parks in medieval society. It stresses the importance of the landscape and of the deer, cattle, and timber within it as integral aspects of the material culture of high medieval Ireland. The research is underpinned by extensive fieldwork, which has identified surviving park features in the landscape. Key topics explored include the form and function of medieval parks, their occurrence and location in the landscape, the status and identity of their owners, and a comparison with parks elsewhere. Notably, the evidence suggests that both parks and fallow deer were relatively uncommon in Ireland compared to England. The reasons for this lie in chronology, landscape, and politics, and these form a major theme within the book, which looks at over 45 parks across Ireland.
