Informationen zum Autor Padraig Lenihan Klappentext This groundbreaking and controversial new study tells the story of two nations in Ireland; an Irish Catholic nation and a Protestant nation, emerging from a blood-stained century. This survey confronts the violence and enmity inherent in the consolidation of conquest. Consolidating Conquest places events in Ireland in the context of three Stuart kingdoms, religious rivalry within and between those kingdoms, and the shifting balance of power as monarchy and commonwealth, Whitehall and Westminster, fought for ultimate power. Zusammenfassung The seventeenth century was one of the most dramatic in Irish history. This is the story of the civil wars, religious controversies and battles for home rule that ripped across Stuart Ireland and lay the foundations for the modern troubles. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
