Ireland In The Medieval World, Ad400–1000 by Bhreathnach, Edel
Landscape, kingship and religion
This study offers a concise, interdisciplinary account of Ireland’s transformation between AD 400 and 1000, drawing on archaeology, annals, law tracts, hagiography and material culture to trace the emergence of kingship, kin-based society and monastic institutions; it situates the island within wider Atlantic and European networks, assesses the social and political impact of Viking settlement and trade, and reevaluates traditional narratives about conversion, literacy and state-formation to show how Ireland became an integral part of the medieval world by the end of the first millennium.
