The 2nd Trinity Medieval Ireland
The 2nd Trinity Medieval Ireland Symposium marking the 700th anniversary of the Bruce Invasion of Ireland (1315–1318)
The 2nd Trinity Medieval Ireland Symposium marks the 700th anniversary of the invasion of Ireland led by Edward, brother of Robert Bruce, Kings of Scots, by exploring the theme of The Irish–Scottish World in the Middle Ages.
Few peoples have as much in common as the Irish and the Scots. The very name ‘Scotland’ – from Scotia, the ‘land of the Scoti’ – is an ever-present reminder of that connection, because, in the Latin of the early Middle Ages, a Scotus was an Irishman, and the homeland of the Scoti was Ireland. That the name came to be applied to the northern part of Britain is testament to the strength of Irish influence there, which this Symposium explores.
The links were such that in King Robert’s famous letter to ‘his friends’, the Irish, he reminded them that they and the Scots ‘stem from one seed of birth’, and offered a permanent alliance against the English, their would-be conquerors, ‘so that our nation’ – one nation, the Scots and Irish – ‘may recover her ancient freedom’. That alliance culminated in the inauguration of his brother Edward as high-king of Ireland in the summer of 1315, which forms the cornerstone of this Symposium.
Do the origins of modern Scotland lie in Ireland? To what extent did the legacy of Colum Cille of Iona define relations between the two regions – in political, ecclesiastical, literary and artistic terms? Is the Book of Kells ‘Irish’ or ‘Scottish’? What was the impact of Viking and then Anglo-Norman attempts at conquest? Did contacts intensify with the recruitment of Hebridean galloglass by the chieftains of Gaelic Ulster and elsewhere or were ancient bonds on the wane as the Middle Ages drew to a close? These are some of the questions this Symposium of leading experts seeks to answer.
Speakers include:
Dauvit Broun • Michael Brown • Thomas Owen Clancy • Seán Duffy • Robin Frame James E. Fraser • Benjamin Hudson • Martin Macgregor • Bernard Meehan
R. Andrew McDonald • Michael Penman • Katharine Simms • Alex Woolf.
A Biennial Symposium Promoting Accessible Medieval Scholarship
The Trinity Medieval Ireland Symposium (TMIS) was established in 2013
to make cutting-edge historical scholarship accessible to all persons interested in researching, teaching or learning about the history of Ireland in the Middle Ages. The focus of the initiative is a biennial symposium at which leading historians from Irish and international universities are invited to examine aspects of a specified theme or historical problem. The symposium serves to promote a wider public understanding and enjoyment of medieval Irish history. The proceedings of TMIS1 will be published in autumn 2015
by Four Courts Press: The Geraldines and Medieval Ireland: The Making of a Myth, ed. Peter Crooks and Seán Duffy.
