Book excerpt: illustrations of St Doulagh's medieval church at Balgriffin in north County Dublin, done over a period of two centuries. Dr Bernadette Williams reveals her extraordinary discovery in a manuscript in the library of Trinity College Dublin of the lost coronation oath of King Edward I. Dr Peter Crooks casts new light on the place of Dublin in the political crisis that paralyzed English government in Ireland in 1369-79, towards the end of the reign of Edward's grandson, King Edward III. And Grace O'Keeffe assesses the role played in the life of the medieval city by its largest hospital, that of St John the Baptist just outside the Newgate in Thomas Street." "The volume concludes with Triona Nicholl's chronicle of her journey from Roskilde to Dublin as one of the crew of the Sea-Stallion of Glendalough, a reconstruction of a Viking-Age longship that has been excavated in Denmark but which may have been built in Dublin almost exactly a thousand years ago." --Book Jacket.
