| Abstract | The conquest of Ireland in the late 12th century provided the lords of the Angevin realm with a new economic frontier. This session will examine the development of this frontier in a European context. The papers will look at Leinster's economic role in the transnational Marshal lordship from its late-12th century creation until its partition in 1247; Ireland's place within the international wool trade from 1250, the beginning of the wool-exporting heyday, to 1380, when 'Irish' cloth was sold on Levantine markets; and the internal economy of the Mortimer lordship across Britain and Ireland between 1368 and 1398. |
