What is medieval Irish history anyway? with Dr. Elizabeth Boyle
An introduction to the Irish medieval world, including inequality, druids (or lack thereof), kings, and romantic notions of the past, with Dr. Elizabeth Boyle.
This is a long one but stayed tuned to the end to hear Niamh and Lizzie chat about how medieval Ireland was just as exceptional as anywhere else and about how medieval Irish historians are an endangered species.
Regular episodes every two weeks (on a Friday).
