The Rest Is History

336: Ireland: Celts, Conquest and Cromwell

The Rest Is History

β€œIn every generation the Irish people have asserted their right to national freedom and sovereignty; six times during the past three hundred years they have asserted it in arms.”  The proclamation of the Irish Republic, delivered by Patrick Pearse in Dublin, marked the beginning of the Easter Rising in 1916. Looking at the Anglo-Irish relationship leading up to the Easter Rising, Tom and Dominic are joined by historian Paul Rouse, to explore the deep history between Britain and Ireland, from the Norman conquest to the rebellion of 1798. *The Rest Is History Live Tour 2023*: Tom and Dominic are back on tour this autumn!
