Description
Early Medieval Ireland, 400-1200 by Dáibhí Ó Cróinín provides a comprehensive survey of Ireland's early history from the coming of Christianity to the Norman settlement. This broad framework explores Irish society, the spiritual and secular roles of the Church, and the flourishing of Irish culture during this period. The book delves into major themes such as Ireland's relations with Britain and continental Europe, the beginnings of Irish feudalism, and the impact of Viking and Norman invaders. The second edition has been updated to incorporate recent research on Ireland's early middle ages, including its relations with the Later Roman Empire, advances in archaeology, and Church Reform in the 11th and 12th centuries. A new opening chapter introduces students to key written sources that inform our understanding of early medieval Ireland, such as annals, genealogies, and laws. This book offers a detailed social, political, religious, legal, and institutional background against which Dáibhí Ó Cróinín describes Ireland's transformation from a tribal society to a feudal state.
