Henry VIII was termed \"by the Grace of God, King of England, France and Ireland.” Ireland was England’s oldest colony. But what bloody events and brutal actions led to the English conquest of Ireland? How did the relationship between the two countries change over the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries? And how did the Irish respond to such subjugation?
In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Professor Jane Ohlmeyer, author of the forthcoming book, Making Empire, Ireland, Imperialism and the Early Modern World.
This episode was edited by Ella Blaxill and produced by Rob Weinberg.
