01.02 - The Emerald Isle

In this episode, we hear about the successive attempts by the Tudor
monarchs to enforce their authority over their Irish vassals, a
complex mix of ethnicities and religions that resisted any policy
Dublin or London tried. They eventually 'settled' on outright
displacement of the native Irish and the plantation of English
settlers, but even that would not be enough to make Tudor rule
unquestioned. Check out the podcast website:
