About this listen
Step back into the forgotten world of medieval Ireland, to uncover intriguing stories from the world of our distant ancestors. Beyond well-known figures such as Strongbow, the Norman invader, lies a tapestry of untold stories of ordinary men and women—those who held no titles, owned no lands, and whose voices have faded into obscurity.
In Life in Medieval Ireland, Fin Dwyer—creator of the Irish History Podcast—breathes life into an era often overshadowed by conquest and chaos. Journey through a land beset by famines, plagues, and relentless warfare, where the intrigue of spies, the shadows of corruption, and witch trials were the fabric of daily existence. Amidst the turmoil, discover the rich and vibrant lives that unfolded in villages and towns, far from the annals of power.
Dwyer’s vivid portrait of medieval Ireland unveils the personal stories of those who lived through these tumultuous times. Against a backdrop of violence and upheaval, find relevance and human interest that transcend the centuries. Alongside tales of conflict, uncover fun and captivating stories about food, love, marriage, and even sex.
This book, narrated by Fin Dwyer, is a journey through the gritty reality of the medieval world, a time so often shrouded by legend and the passage of time.
