Product Description
This book examines one of the bloodiest epochs in Irish history.
Part one covers the 16th century, revealing how efforts by the Tudor
monarchy to curb the powers of the autonomous Irish lords degenerated into a bitter cultural and sectarian conflict characterised by summary killings and massacres. The second part pays particular attention to the 1641 rebellion and the Confederate Wars.
