Ireland's history has been shaped by the conquerors, kings and invaders who have stepped foot on its shores. Centuries of conflict raged between the native Irish, Vikings, Anglo-Normans, English and Scots, and latterly competing Catholic and Protestant kings. These conflicts shaped the history of a nation which has often been dominated by problems caused by its proximity to powerful neighbours. Beginning with Ireland's earliest history, this book concludes at the end of the 17th century; a century which witnessed rebellions against English rule and Oliver Cromwell's storming of Drogheda and Wexford.
