This episode is a whistlestop tour through medieval Ireland stopping off at battlefields along the way, taking a look at the top five turning points as I see them. This podcast will introduce some of the key characters from Irish history, some of whom are well known such as Strongbow and Brian Boru, others less well-known but equally fascinating such as Flann Sinna and William 'Liath de Burgh'. Part I starts in 908 at the long forgotten battle of Ballymoon and finishes at the siege of Dublin in 1171. Part II out next week will conclude the top 5.If you want updates check the show out on facebook and follow irishhistory on twitter.Subscribe in iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/ie/podcast/irish-history-podcast/id363368392Support the podcast by making a contribution toward the cost of sources here.
