The papers in this session will address the ‘clash of cultures’ which took place in medieval Ireland between the Irish and English. The first paper looks at the involvement of Scottish and Irish Fransiscan in the Scottish Wars of Independence in support of both the native and royalist cause. The second and third papers deal with the English/Irish relations in specific localities. The second looks at the terms of the relationship between an Anglo-Irish magnate family and a Gaelic dynasty. The third paper will address the changing relationships between the Anglo-Irish of Dublin and the Irish of Leinster.
