| Abstract | This session examines the extent to which English norms of administration were prevalent in the lordship of Ireland. The first paper will examine the surviving evidence for quo warranto proceedings in medieval Ireland and compare them with their English counterparts. The second paper will investigate the patterns of appointment of the Irish sheriff in the 13th and 14th centuries and comparisons will be made to his counterpart in England. The final paper will analyse the issues surrounding the foundation of the Irish Priory of the Knights Hospitaller at the beginning of the 13th century and investigate the origin of the Order's presence in Ireland, as well as its connections with Wales and Britain. |
