Opis

Very few documentary sources survive from twelfth-century Ireland. The Latin charters issued by Irish kings are therefore an especially valuable body of evidence. This book is the first modern edition and commentary on these charters and sheds valuable light on the political and religious history of twelfth- and early thirteenth-century Gaelic Ireland.

Recenzje

...the scholarship evident in Irish Royal Charters should go a long way toward Flanagan's stated aims of gaining recognition for these texts as an important, if small, corpus in their own right, and one that deserves greater understanding at home and greater standing abroad.
