Ireland

See Ancient Ireland for early Irish history, from Mesolithic hunter gatherers to Neolithic farmers to the Bronze and Iron Age Celts .






See Waterford City for Irish history from the Viking and Norman invasions of the middle ages to later medieval Ireland.






See Hugh O'Neill and The Battle of Kinsale for Irish history from 1550 to 1601, spanning the reigns in England of the Tudor monarchs, Henry the Eighth and Elizabeth the First.


See Waterford for details of the 1641 Rebellion, the Confederation of Kilkenny, and the Cromwellian War.


See also the Kilkenny , Hook Head , and Violence in Ireland pages. So far, all the above pages may distort history by leaning heavily towards dramatic events, so it should be remembered that for most Irish most of the time, life was fairly quiet, although impoverished, once they kept their mouths shut and obeyed their English "masters".
