Check out our Celtic-punk history of Ireland podcast.
Part 1 takes us from The Battle of Clontarf (1014) to the Treaty of Limerick (1641)
1014 is the best place to start Mustard Finnegan’s history of Ireland. It that year Brian Boru defeated the Danes. For hundreds of years, Ireland was known as the Isle of Saints and Scholars – the image of monks in monasteries; smoking pot, lovingly illustrating copies of the gospels, praying and guiding the heathens in Europe outta of the Dark Ages. Though not all of that is necessarily the true Ireland. Ireland was made up of a bunch of small kingdoms with kings more like Afghan warlords or the Bloods and Crips – I’m the king of from here to that rock over there and I’m gonna steal your cattle and run back to my ring fort. Ireland had big problem with the Vikings. The Vikings were a bunch of dudes from Scandinavia with helmets with horns sticking out of them who loved to vacation in Ireland and plunder the Irish monasteries and murder the monks. After a few hundred years of this the Vikings started to stay around and started, like all the cities in Ireland and meddled in Irish politics (bit like the EU these days).............the rest at www.shitenonions.com
music from Flogging Molly, Black 47, Belfast Andi, The Dreadnoughts, BibleCodeSundays, Murder the Stout, Ceann, Blood or Whiskey, The Fisticuffs, Prydein, The Tossers, Roaring Jack.
