In this collection of essays Robin Frame concentrates upon two main
themes: the place of the Lordship of Ireland within the Plantagenet
state; and the interaction of settler society and English
government in the culturally hybrid frontier world of later
medieval Ireland itself. As a preludeto both these themes, Ireland
and Britain, 1170-1450 begins with a hitherto unpublished
discussion of why 'the first English conquest of Ireland' has been
viewed as a failure, and has rarely received the attention it
deserves.
The first group of essays addresses such topics as the changing
character of the aristocratic networks that bound Ireland to
britain; the impact of the Scottish invasion led by Edward and
Robert Bruce in the early fourteenth centruy; the identity of the
'English' political community that emerged in Ireland by the reign
of Edward III; and the case for a broadly conceived British
history, incorporating rather than excluding the English of
Ireland. The subsequent group explore the character of Irish
warfare, the adaptation of English institutions to a marcher
environment; the exercise of power by regional magnates; and the
complex practical interactions between royal government and Gaelic
Irish Leaders.
