| Abstract | These papers explore connections between core and periphery and between peripheries in the English polity. The first paper will examine the political use of the historical writings of Gerald of Wales in the English colony in Ireland, while the second will explore the context and significance of a letter of 1429 offering a sharp insight into how, and how far, politics and political calculations in the lordship of Ireland interacted with those of the wider Lancastrian world. The final paper will discuss the nature and extent of the interaction of maritime communities of the British Isles and Ireland primarily with each other but also with similar communities further afield. |
