| Abstract | The first paper examines early medieval Ireland and it will interrogate differing definitions and theories relating to 'power'. It argues that resistance and subversion have an important role to play in the study of medieval Irish kingship. The second paper explores the relations between the English and the Irish of Connacht from 1249-1318, and proposes a new interpretation of the intercultural conflict that occurred in this little-examined part of the colony during this period. The final paper will examine various aspects of peasant identity and ethnic conflict experienced in Wales in the 14th and 15th centuries. |
