Age of Atrocity
Violence and Political Conflict in Early Modern Ireland
About this book
This book examines one of the bloodiest epochs in Irish history. Part one covers the 16th century, revealing how efforts by the Tudor monarchy to curb the powers of the autonomous Irish lords degenerated into a bitter cultural and sectarian conflict characterized by summary killings and massacres. The second part pays particular attention to the 1641Ã?Â?Ã?Â?rebellion and the Confederate Wars.
