  • A Soldier Fights for Three Separate but Sometimes Associated Reasons: for Duty, for Payment and for Cause
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository The press and military conflict in early modern Scotland by Alastair J. Mann A soldier fights for three separate but sometimes associated reasons: for duty, for payment and for cause. Nathianiel Hawthorne once said of valour, however, that ‘he is only brave who has affections to fight for’. Those soldiers who are prepared most readily to risk their lives are those driven by political and religious passions. From the advent of printing to the present day the printed word has provided governments and generals with a means to galvanise support and to delineate both the emotional and rational reasons for participation in conflict. Like steel and gunpowder, the press was generally available to all military propagandists in early modern Europe, and so a press war was characteristic of outbreaks of civil war and inter-national war, and thus it was for those conflicts involving the Scottish soldier. Did Scotland’s early modern soldiers carry print into battle? Paul Huhnerfeld, the biographer of the German philosopher and Nazi Martin Heidegger, provides the curious revelation that German soldiers who died at the Russian front in the Second World War were to be found with copies of Heidegger’s popular philosophical works, with all their nihilism and anti-Semitism, in their knapsacks.1 The evidence for such proximity between print and combat is inconclusive for early modern Scotland, at least in any large scale. Officers and military chaplains certainly obtained religious pamphlets during the covenanting period from 1638 to 1651.

    THE ‘If the Gothic emerges in the shadows cast by modernity and its pasts, Ireland proved EME an unhappy haunting ground for the new genre.

  • July at the Museum!
    July at the Museum! Battle of Aughrim, John Mulvaney. The Battle of the Boyne, July 1st 1690. On 1 July 1690, the Battle of the Boyne was fought between King James II's Jacobite army, and the Williamite Army under William of Orange. Despite only being a minor military victory in favour of the Williamites, it has a major symbolic significance. The Battle's annual commemorations by The Orange Order, a masonic-style fraternity dedicated to the protection of the Protestant Ascendancy, remain a topic of great controversy. This is especially true in areas of Northern Ireland where sectarian tensions remain rife. No year in Irish history is better known than 1690. No Irish battle is more famous than William III's victory over James II at the River Boyne, a few miles west of Drogheda. James, a Roman Catholic, had lost the throne of England in the bloodless "Glorious Revolution" of 1688. William was Prince of Orange, a Dutch-speaking Protestant married to James's daughter Mary, and became king at the request of parliament. James sought refuge with his old ally, Louis XIV of France, who saw an opportunity to strike at William through Ireland. He provided French officers and arms for James, who landed at Kinsale in March 1689. The lord deputy, the Earl of Tyrconnell was a Catholic loyal to James, and his Irish army controlled most of the island. James quickly summoned a parliament, largely Catholic, which proceeded to repeal the legislation under which Protestant settlers had acquired land. During the rule of Tyrconnell, the first Catholic viceroy since the Reformation, Protestants had seen their influence eroded in the army, in the courts and in civil government.

  • LIVES of the PRESIDENTS James Grattan
    LIVES OF THE PRESIDENTS James Grattan Born: 1673 President: 1714-1715, 1722-1723, 1738-1739 Died: 1749 James Grattan, President on three occasions, was the third of seven sons of Rev Patrick Grattan. The family was prominent in eighteenth century Ireland; one of James’ brothers was the grandfather of Henry Grattan MP, a leader of the Patriot Party in the Irish Parliament who was one of those who led the resistance in the Irish Parliament to the Act of Union of 1800. Grattan entered Trinity College in 1689, aged 16, graduating BA in 1695 and MA in 1700 and then studied medicine at Leiden. At this time, Hermann Boerhaave, referred to as ‘the Father of Clinical Medicine’, was beginning his career at Leyden. It is almost certain that Grattan knew him, and may have been one of his students. Whether he was or not, Grattan’s time at Leyden exposed him to the most advanced medical thinking of his day and must have influenced the contribution he made to Irish medicine on returning to Dublin. On 1 May 1704, James Grattan was admitted a Candidate of the College of Physicians, and was elected Fellow the same day. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, Dublin was not a leading place for medical education. Those wishing to best equip themselves to practice medicine went abroad to study; Edinburgh, Bologna and Leiden had leading medical schools. The College of Physicians had been founded with a view to redressing this lack, and great strides were being made in the development of the medical school at Trinity College.

Perhaps the most prestigious megalithic monument of Europe is Stonehenge, the stone circle presiding on the rolling hills of Salisbury in Wiltshire, England. The earliest known references to the islands as a group appeared in the writings of seafarers from the ancient Greek colony of Massalia. In: English Heritage. We are independent, we are not part of Britain, not even in geographical terms. In time, Anglo-Saxon demands on the British became so great that they came to culturally dominate the bulk of southern Great Britain, though recent genetic evidence suggests Britons still formed the bulk of the population. English colonialism in Ireland of the 16th century was extended by large-scale Scottish and English colonies in Ulster. Allen, Stephen Lehmberg Request examination copy. However, the terms were never honoured and a new monarchy was installed. Reports on its findings are presented to the Governments of Ireland and the United Kingdom.

In one section, the author explains that the geographic mobility traditionally considered one of the consequences of the 14th- century Black Death actually had begun before the outbreak of the epidemic, as had political discontent among the population, also traditionally attributed to the plague's aftermath.
