Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name O'Shaughnessy is easily recognisable as a quintessential Irish name whereas the surname of its lineal cousins, Hynes, the anglicised rendition of Ui hEidhne, looks more Saxon than Gaelic. The name O 'Cleary is also obviously Irish as indeed it is because that family shares the same ancestry as the Hynes and O'Shaughnessy and has the added distinction of being one of the earliest recorded hereditary names ever. This book, the 'O'Shaughnessys', is a companion book to 'The Hynes of Ireland' so ideally it should be read shortly after the other because the two families share their earliest ancestors and history. Between them the two books present vivid accounts of the battles, murders, duels, conflicts, love stories, poems, castles, monasteries and miracles involving these ancient families and their kinsfolk, other descendants of King Guaire, the O'Clearys, O'Cahans, O'Cahills, Killikellys, . Their ancient friends and foes are mentioned too, among them - the Burkes, Comerfords, Gregorys, Martins, O'Briens, O'Connors, O'Donovans, O'Kellys, O'Loughlins, Ludlow, O'Neills, Prendergasts and Taylors. Researchers into family history will find a wealth of intriguing information about these families which has hitherto been hidden away in obscure papers and documents. Where most of the narrative of The Hynes of Ireland centres on the seaside town of Kinvara on the edge of Galway bay, Ireland, The O'Shaughnessys centres on the market town of Gort, a few miles inland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irish Kings and High-Kings is an analysis of the nature of early Irish kingship, using annalistic and genealogical material to interpret Irish saga and legend.Professor Byrne examines the unique blend of pagan tribalism and Christian monasticism which characterises the political landscape of early Ireland, exploring the nature of the traditional Five Fifths of Ireland, the mythology of Tara, and the growth of the high-kingship of Ireland. Numerous maps and genealogical tables illustrate the development of the great over-kingships of Ulster, Leinster and Connacht, and Cashel. The confrontation of St Patrick with the Irish kings, the relations between St Colum Cille and his royal cousins, and the ecclesiastical politics of Armagh, Kildare and Clonmacnoise are described and analysed. More than twenty years after its original publication, Irish Kings and High-Kings remains unsurpassed as an overview of this central issue in Irish history. In a new introduction to this edition, Professor Byrne updates his conclusions in the light of further researches, and provides a comprehensive bibliography of new work in the field. --

Book excerpt: Collectively the Irish annals represent a substantial and important source for the history and culture of Ireland. These texts provide the primary witness for much of early medieval Irish history, and for many key events and persons up until c.1600. Many of the most important of these texts passed into the possession of 17th-century Anglo-Irish scholars, and it was principally their work which formed the basis for all modern scholarship on them. However, examination of their work shows that a number of the accepted hypotheses rest upon assertions of opinion, and are unsupported by any textual evidence. This book first re-examines the manuscript evidence, commencing with an account of the primary manuscript witnesses for the ten most characteristic annalistic texts. It then reviews the scholarly literature relating to the annalistic corpus and identifies those hypotheses that are not supported by the available evidence. Next, based upon a critical evaluation of both the textual and chronological characteristics of the texts, the book establishes, where possible, the place, author(s), time and salient characteristics of the compilations that have contributed to the development of these ten texts. The penultimate chapter reviews the chronology of these texts and identifies the basis for a synchronised chronology for them all.
