Celts, Vikings, and Normans battle for supremacy in the early days; Christianity and kingship are established; later come stories of plantation and rebellion, the development of constitutional and extra-constitutional political cultures, and the emergence of the competing Nationalist and Unionist traditions. Ireland's history is dominated by personalities: St Patrick brought Christianity to the island, while, so legend maintains, also ridding it of snakes; the warrior king Brian Boru; the invader Strongbow; the merciless conqueror Oliver Cromwell; William of Orange; and James II as well as the patriots and politicians of more recent times - Daniel O'Connell, Charles Stewart Parnell, Patrick Pearse, Edward Carson, Eamon de Valera and Michael Collins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780717119189\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Volume and rare dust jacket in VG condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54353798889799,"sku":"2026-07-11-06","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/713wxTQzm6L.jpg?v=1784201178","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/the-history-of-ireland","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
