The Decline and Fall of the Dukes of Leinster, 1872-1948
Author: Terence A. M. Dooley
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781846825330
Category : Nobility
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In a 70-year period, the dukes of Leinster fell from being Ireland's premier aristocratic family, close friends of the British monarchy, secure within the world's most powerful empire, to relative obscurity in an independent Irish Free State that did not recognize titles. The narrative of decline and fall unfolds against such historical watersheds as the Land War of the 1880s and the simultaneous rise of the home rule movement; the breakup of Irish landed estates after 1903; the Great War of 1914-18; the revolutionary turmoil of 1916-23; and the 1920s global economic depression.

War, Politics and the Irish of Leinster, 1156-1606
Author: Emmett O'Byrne
Publisher: Four Courts Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Until now there has been no linear political study of the Irish of Leinster from the death of Toirdhealbhach O'Connor in 1156 to the establishment, in 1606, of County Wicklow - the last Irish and Leinster county to be created. Students and historians have had to make do with viewing this period of Irish history through publications that focus on successive English government's attempts to extend royal jurisdiction throughout Ireland. This is paradoxical, given that war and politics in Leinster have played a defining role from earliest times in the history of Ireland. Now for the first time, the largely ignored world of the Irish of Leinster is recalled in this book. In the book, the author tells the story of the Leinster Irish, their wars, politics and astonishing survival into the seventeenth century.

A History of Rugby in Leinster
Author: David Doolin
Publisher: Merrion Press
ISBN: 1785374796
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
Leinster is one of the most successful and influential Irish sporting teams of all time. The team boasts a dazzling roster of players, past and present, including Brian O’Driscoll, Johnny Sexton, Jamie Heaslip and current captain James Ryan. But there is so much more to rugby in Leinster, and, for the first time, this book compiles the rich history of the sport in the province, from its origins in the school and university teams, through the amateur years, with the growth of clubs throughout the province, to the dawn of the professional age and the many spectacular championships won by the province in the twenty-first century, when the national love for rugby kicked up a gear. Doolin celebrates all the breathless victories enjoyed by Leinster teams at every level, but it’s not just about the silverware. He looks at the challenges that rugby faced in surviving and growing province-wide since it was first played in Dublin in the nineteenth century. He also ruminates on the sport’s relationships with politics and class, which reflect the complexities of politics and identity in Ireland as a whole. A History of Rugby in Leinster is a vibrant celebration of sport-ing greatness and of Leinster’s enduring commitment to teamwork, integrity and community.
