Title: Companion to Irish History 1603-1921
Description: The defeat in Ulster of the Earl of Tyrone in 1603 and the subsequent flight of the earls in 1607 marked the fall of the last remaining stronghold of Gaelic power in Ireland. So began the wholesale English expropriation and domination which was to fuel resentment among the Gaelic Irish for centuries to come. Ideal for students, specialists and everyone interested in Irish history, the Companion offers a comprehensive but easy-to-use guide. A chronology, a bibliography, appendices and maps, combine to make this book an invaluable resource to the period, either in itself or as a supplementary text to other works of reference. - Jacket.
