330 .. $a Medieval Ireland is associated in the public imagination with the ruined castles and
monasteries that remain prominent in the Irish landscape. Crisis and Survival in Late
Medieval Ireland: The English of Louth and their Neighbours, 1330-1450 examines how
the society that produced these monuments developed over the course of a turbulent
century, focussing particularly on county Louth, situated on the coast north of Dublin
and adjacent to the earldom of Ulster. Louth was one of the areas that had been most
densely colonised by English settlers in the decades around 1200, and ties with England
and loyalty to the English crown remained strong. Its settlers found it possible to
maintain close economic and political ties with England in part because of their proximity
to the significant trading port of Drogheda, and the residence among them of the archbishop
of Armagh, primate of Ireland, also extended their international horizons and contacts.
In this volume, Brendan Smith explores the ways in which the English settlers in Louth
maintained their English identity in the face of plague and warfare. The Black Death
of 1348-9, and recurrent visitations of plague thereafter, reduced their numbers significantly
and encouraged the Irish lordships on their borders to challenge their local supremacy.
How to counter the threat from the MacMahons, O'Neills, and others, absorbed their
energies and resources. It not only involved mounting armed campaigns, taking hostages,
and building defences; it also meant intermarrying with these families and entering
into numerous solemn, if short-lived, treatie11932365s with them. Smith draws on original
source material, to present a picture of the English settlers in Louth, and to show
how living in the borderlands of the English world coloured every aspect of settler
life -- Publishers website
