From That Small Island: The Story of the Irish

Contested Identities

Season 1 Episode 102

We look at the transformation of Ireland and the Irish after the arrival of the Normans. We begin by taking a snapshot of Europe in the year 1,000 and Ireland’s place within it. We look at the rise of the Tudors which also coincided with the Protestant reformation. We trace its impact on Ireland and its effect on questions of identity.
