| Abstract | Between the 12th and 16th centuries the English of Ireland evolved from a foreign, invading force to a 'Middle Nation', neither English nor Irish. This session will approach those experiences from three angles; the efforts of the English in the 12th and 13th centuries to establish themselves by means other than military; the parallels between the gentry communities of Ireland and England during the 14th century; and an examination of the manner in which the 15th-century English of Ireland expressed their communal identity. The aim is to delineate the changes in the identity of the English of medieval Ireland. |
