Bøker av Toby Barnard

Biographical studies of the two Dukes of Ormonde illuminate aspects of the operation of political power in seventeenth-century Ireland, and, on a wider European stage, the predicaments facing the nobility.

Focusing upon the provinces as well as Dublin, Toby Barnard presents an abundance of unfamiliar evidence to reveal how Ireland came to be dominated by Protestants through military defeats. Protestant control of government laid the foundations for the subjection of Catholics after the mid-1640s.
