Description
The story of protest in medieval Ireland is a forgotten but fascinating chapter in our history. While forthright and often violent these protests voiced the concerns of ordinary people so often excluded from written records. In this podcast I look at five protests from late medieval Ireland including a water tax in 1244 and Ireland's first recorded strike in 1299. The intriguing stories behind these protests are brought to light for the first time in centuries in this podcast.To get more free podcasts from my new series on the black death subscribe to my mailing list at www.irishhistorypodcast.ie For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
