Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Life Was Like Among Druids and High Kings tells the fascinating story of the coming of Christianity to the Irish and many other compelling tales of the daily lives of the men and women of Ireland from Celtic to Christian times. From contemporary accounts by travellers, church officials, and jurists, as well as from the legends and histories for which the Irish are so justly famous, come the stories of kings and thieves, farmers and monks, scholars and saints. Among them are the mighty Brian Boru, who defeated Irishmen and Vikings alike to become king of all Ireland; Saint Brigit, the daughter of a druid, who put her eye out rather than marry, and Dermot Mac Murrough, who, by asking for the assistance of Henry II in regaining his kingdom, opened the door to England's future involvement in Ireland's affairs.

Book Synopsis The Quest for King Arthur by : James Frost
Download or read book The Quest for King Arthur written by James Frost and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06-30 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate over King Arthur is one of the oldest on record. But up until now all attempts to settle the debate have centred on interpretations of the documentation. But documents, as important as they are, are not the only tools at our disposal. History repeats itself. One of the reasons it does this is that there are a surprisingly large number of things that can only happen one way. Furthermore different societies do certain things in specific ways. Once it is known how these things work, then no documentation is necessary to explain what happened. There is enough information to determine the basic political and military systems the Britons used. It then becomes a matter of using this information to explain what is known of the course of the wars of this period to determine whether or not there is reason to believe that any such hero existed. But the system has other uses as well. Legends also work in specific ways. This technique can also be used to trace the origin of many of the figures and events in the legends.

Book Synopsis Christianity and the Celts by : Ted Olsen
Download or read book Christianity and the Celts written by Ted Olsen and published by Lion Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J.R.R. Tolkien observed that the word Celtic "is a magic bag, into which anything may be put, and out of which almost anything may come ... Anything is possible in the fabulous Celtic twilight, which is not so much a twilight of the gods as of the reason." But in this volume, Ted Olsen digs beneath the layers of romanticization to introduce you to the world of the Celts. Focusing on their interaction with the Christian faith, Olsen tells the stories of principal characters from Ireland and beyond. As he illuminates the missionary fervor and monastic ideals of saints such as Patrick and Columbanus, Olsen brings a distant period of history to vivid life. - Publisher.
