In the aftermath of the Battle of Kinsale in 1601 as many as 10,000
Irish emigrated from Ireland to Galicia in the north-west of Spain.
Between 1601 and 1608 the brunt of this immigration fell on the
city of La Coruna, which became a virtual encampment of starving
homeless Irish nobles, soldiers, women, children, elderly and poor.
This is the story of that community and how its members adapted to
their new circumstances, and how they themselves, their social
structures and beliefs were transformed by their immigrant
experience. Through an examination of the community across a broad
range of social cultural aspects such as family, literacy, material
culture, the acquisition of honours, religious sentiment, and
social ascent, important new insights into Irish socio-cultural
history have been uncovered. -- .
