Did Ireland exist in the twelfth century?

David N. Dumville

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Why is such an apparently frivolous question being asked? The simple answer is that it addresses an issue still current in historical and legal (and therefore political) writing about modern Ireland, and in particular about the entity known since the 1920s as ‘Northern Ireland'.
