Book Synopsis The Walled Towns of Ireland by : Avril Thomas
Download or read book The Walled Towns of Ireland written by Avril Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Town walls were a common heritage for many Irish towns over long periods. The majority date from the Anglo-Norman period, but trends can be recognized which represent common themes throughout the centuries, especially the use of walled towns as 'refuges' for colonization projects. This study identifies, through surviving structures and documentary and murage evidence, the walled towns of Ireland. It provides a comprehensive investigation of site, shape, size (walled area and circuit length), structure (curtain walls, gates and towers, fosse, ramparts, associated castle/forts, and harbors) and construction, including length of time and financial arrangements. Defensive and other uses are considered. Volume 2 is the gazetteer companion of Volume 1. It comprises most of the larger and more important walled towns and includes as well many of the smaller Irish towns and even some whose development failed to make progress.

Book Synopsis The Development of the Irish Town by : R. A. Butlin
Download or read book The Development of the Irish Town written by R. A. Butlin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1977, and now with an updated new Preface, this volume covers the question of Irish urban origins in the pre-Norman period, the character and development of the medieval towns, the changing forms and functions of towns and cities in the early modern period. It also examines the substantial changes in size and form effected by population growth and town planning in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Ireland’s urban history is unique and particularly interesting for the way it contrasts with developments in the urban history of western Europe. Unlike most west European regions, it was not colonised by the Romans.
Download or read book Medieval Ireland written by Clare Downham and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval Ireland is often described as a backward-looking nation in which change only came about as a result of foreign invasions. By examining the wealth of under-explored evidence available, Downham challenges this popular notion and demonstrates what a culturally rich and diverse place medieval Ireland was. Starting in the fifth century, when St Patrick arrived on the island, and ending in the fifteenth century, with the efforts of the English government to defend the lands which it ruled directly around Dublin by building great ditches, this up-to-date and accessible survey charts the internal changes in the region. Chapters dispute the idea of an archaic society in a wide-range of areas, with a particular focus on land-use, economy, society, religion, politics and culture. This concise and accessible overview offers a fresh perspective on Ireland in the Middle Ages and overthrows many enduring stereotypes.
Book Synopsis Medieval Ireland by : Tadhg O'Keeffe

Book excerpt: Tahdg O'Keeffe's lively and wide-ranging study addresses the need for a fresh archaeological study of medieval Ireland. Individual chapters re-examine such familiar themes as urban and rural settlement, military, domestic and ecclesiastical architecture, agriculture and craft, and trade and industry. Other topics discussed include diet, dress, burial rites, and entertainment. The cultural relations between the Gaelic Irish and English populations of medieval Ireland are explored throughout the book, as are Ireland's relations with her European neighbors. With its elegantly written text and numerous illustrations, this portrait of medieval Ireland will appeal to general readers as well as to students and professionals in the fields of archaeology, history, and historical geography.
Book Synopsis Uncovering Medieval Trim by : Michael Potterton
Download or read book Uncovering Medieval Trim written by Michael Potterton and published by Four Courts Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Trim is one of Ireland's best-known medieval towns, and yet for a very long time many aspects of its early history and development were poorly understood. A series of important archaeological excavations have taken place in recent years and this publication brings together the results of these investigations for the first time. The book opens with a foreword by John Bradley, one of Ireland's foremost experts on medieval towns, followed by an introductory overview by Michael Potterton, author of Medieval Trim: history and archaeology. A fascinating glimpse into prehistory is provided by Fiona Beglane's study of an enigmatic Iron-Age pit full of pigs' feet. Of special significance is new evidence that proves beyond reasonable doubt that Trim's first church was located where the Church of Ireland cathedral now stands. New light is shed upon death and burial in and around the town, as well as the layout and development of the religious houses. The location and form of the town's medieval defences, as well as its streets, houses and suburbs are also illuminated. New evidence is discussed for small-scale craft and industry as well as diet, health and daily life. An overview is provided of the range and origins of the various types of medieval pottery found in the town. The book ends with a summary of the recently commissioned management and conservation plans for Trim's town walls."--Publisher's description.
Book Synopsis The Dublin Region in the Middle Ages by : Margaret Murphy
Download or read book The Dublin Region in the Middle Ages written by Margaret Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first major publication of the Discovery Programme's Medieval Rural Settlement Project. The book is a study of the medieval region that contained and was defined by the presence of Ireland's largest nucleated settlement. Combining documentary and archaeological data, this volume explores the primary settlement features of the hinterland area, including defensive monuments, manors, the church, and the Pale. It examines the ways in which resources of the region were managed and exploited to produce food, fuel, and raw materials for both town and country, and it investigates the processing of these raw materials for human consumption. Then as now, the city profoundly affected its surrounding area through its demands for resources and through the ownership of land by Dubliners (ecclesiastics and lay) and the control of trade by city merchants. In addition to presenting a timely examination of urban-rural interaction, the book contributes to wider debates on topics such as settlement landscapes, the role of lordship, and the productivity of agriculture.
Book Synopsis Lords and Towns in Medieval Europe by : Howard B. Clarke
Download or read book Lords and Towns in Medieval Europe written by Howard B. Clarke and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is based on possibly the biggest single Europe-wide project in urban history. In 1955 the International Commission for the History of Towns established the European historic towns atlas project in accordance with a common scheme in order to encourage comparative urban studies. Although advances in urban archaeology since the 1960s have highlighted the problematic relationship between the oldest extant town plan and the actual origins of a town, the large-scale cadastral maps as they have been made available by the European historic towns atlas project are still necessary if we want to understand the evolution of the physical form of our towns. By 2014 the project consisted of over 500 individual publications from over 18 different countries across Europe. Each atlas comprises at least a core-map at the scale of 1:2500, analytical maps and an explanatory text. The time has come to use this enormous database that has been compiled over the last 40 years. This volume, itself based on a conference related to this topic that was held in the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin in 2006, takes up this challenge. The focus of the volume is on the question of how seigneurial power influenced the creation of towns in medieval Europe and of how this process in turn influenced urban form. Part I of the volume addresses two major issues: the history of the use of town plans in urban research and the methodological challenges of comparative urban history. Parts II and III constitute the core of the book focusing on the dynamic relationship between lordship and town planning in the core area of medieval Europe and on the periphery. In Part IV the symbolic meaning of town plans for medieval people is discussed. Part V consists of critical contributions by an archaeologist, an art historian and an historical geographer. By presenting case studies by leading researchers from different European countries, this volume combines findings that were hitherto not available in English. A comparison of the English and German bibliographies, attached to this volume, reveals some interesting insights as to how the focus of research shifted over time. The book also shows how work on urban topography integrates the approaches of the historian, archaeologist and historical geographer. The narrative of medieval urbanization becomes enriched and the volume is a genuine contribution to European studies.

Book Synopsis Cultural Exchange and Identity in Late Medieval Ireland by : Sparky Booker
Download or read book Cultural Exchange and Identity in Late Medieval Ireland written by Sparky Booker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irish inhabitants of the 'four obedient shires' - a term commonly used to describe the region at the heart of the English colony in the later Middle Ages - were significantly anglicised, taking on English names, dress, and even legal status. However, the processes of cultural exchange went both ways. This study examines the nature of interactions between English and Irish neighbours in the four shires, taking into account the complex tensions between assimilation and the preservation of distinct ethnic identities and exploring how the common colonial rhetoric of the Irish as an 'enemy' coexisted with the daily reality of alliance, intermarriage, and accommodation. Placing Ireland in a broad context, Sparky Booker addresses the strategies the colonial community used to deal with the difficulties posed by extensive assimilation, and the lasting changes this made to understandings of what it meant to be 'English' or 'Irish' in the face of such challenges.
