Excerpt from The Geraldine's Bride: A Metrical Tale; With an Introduction, and Historical Notes
In reading the Irish and English chronicles of this period, though the general impression left by both is the same, there is this marked distinction, that in the former the prominent figures in the scene are the Irish chieftains, and in the latter the N orman Barons. Anyone desiring to test the soundness of the foregoing description may con sult the annals of the Four Masters on the part of the Irish, and Marlborough and Ware on that of the English.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Geraldine family, one of the most powerful and influential noble families in medieval Ireland. The author uses the love story of a Geraldine Earl and the daughter of an Irish chieftain as the backdrop for exploring the complex relationship between English and Irish cultures in the 15th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Statute of Kilkenny, a piece of legislation enacted in 1367, which prohibited intermarriage between English and Irish people, and attempted to suppress Irish culture. The author highlights how the Statute was not just a political document, but a reflection of the deep-seated racial prejudices of the time. The book also delves into the ancient Irish legal system, the Brehon Laws, and its contrast with the Norman legal system. By weaving together history, love, and cultural clashes, the author provides a captivating narrative of a pivotal moment in Irish history, revealing the enduring complexities of identity and power in a world of shifting allegiances. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
