Spanning a thousand years, Wars of the Irish Kings reconstructs how Ireland's political life and religious culture were forged by conflict. Drawing on early annals and chronicles, the narrative follows clashes between kin-groups, the influence of monasteries, and the shifting power that led into the Tudor era.

The book examines recurring themes: local kingship and rivalry, ecclesiastical patronage and artistic achievement, and the long-term consequences of sustained warfare for identity and governance. Attention to primary accounts gives a grounded, chronological perspective.

Recommended for readers of Irish and medieval history, military studies, and ecclesiastical history, the work offers a wide-angle survey from mythic origins through Elizabeth I.

  • Chronological narrative from mythic origins to the Elizabethan period
  • Focus on monasteries, warfare, and political change
  • Hardcover — History Book Club edition, 2000, 348 pages
