Ireland Under the Tudors, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

This book offers a detailed account of the complex, sometimes difficult relationship between Ireland and England from the 12th through the 16th centuries. The author begins by providing a concise overview of the major cultural differences between the two nations, focusing on the contrast between the tribal nature of Irish society and the feudal system that defined England. The book traces the challenges and complications that resulted from differing legal systems and land ownership practices, drawing on the writings of Tudor lawyers and Irish chieftains to illustrate the gulf between the two societies. However, the author also highlights the successes and failures of the English in Ireland, providing a nuanced and balanced perspective on this often-overlooked period of history.Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
