In the 21st century, there are two legal systems on the island of Ireland, and two very different heads of state represent the people of Ireland and Northern Ireland respectively: the elected presidency of the Republic and the hereditary monarchy of the United Kingdom. Yet the idea of monarchy and the associated notion of aristocracy have a long tradition in Ireland.
Long before the English conquest, there was an indigenous aristocracy, and the British monarchs were not the only monarchs of significance to the Irish. In this book, a range of experts examine the role that monarchs and their dominions have played for Ireland and its people from the Middle Ages to the present day, exploring some unexpected roads and paths. From the Vikings to the Jacobites, from the High Kings of Irish mythology to Mrs Simpson, this volume takes a look at kings, queens, their retainers and their opponents, illuminating Ireland's history from an unexpected angle.
