As Sonny Condon points out in the cur- rent issue of Decies, the Porllnirge could have becn an ideal museum, serving as a fitting symbol of Waterford's proud maritime history. This did not happen, and the ship now lies rotting on the Wexford coast. Hopefully, we are learning from the mistakes of our recent past as plans are being drawn up to refurbish Watcrford city's historic quarter in order to create a world-class heritagc site. This proposcd development, part of Watcrford City Council's Project 2014 showcasing 1,000 years of the city's history, is a brave ini- tiative and deserves the support of our society. The ongoing success of heritagc sites in VIIjterford county such as the Copper Coast Geopark is testimony to the importance of preserving our past and making it accessible. Another positive development in the field of local studies is the establishment of the South Kilkenny Historical Society, with Eddie Synnott, committee member of the Waterford Archaeological and Historical Society elected as its first Chairman. Congratulations are due to all involved in this ncw exciting venture, which will do much to highlight the rich history and traditions of south Kilkenny. Heritage and conservation issues remain however, with concern over the grave- yard of the Abbey Church at Kilcullaheen in particular.

Introduction The prehistoric archaeology of County Waterford is rich and varied. From the times of the earliest known human settlement in Ireland (thc Early Mesolithic) there are traces of human occupation in the county, with lithic (flint) scatters found along the southern stretch of the River Barrow; Late Mesolithic and Neolithic lithics werc also recovered (Zvelebil et al. 1996). Moving further forward in time, the evidence for human occupation of the landscape becomes more tangible with megalithic tombs, reflecting Neolithic (and later) ceremonial and burial practices at Harristown (passage tomb) and at Gaulstown, Knockeen and Ballinadud (portal tombs) (Moore 1999). Later sites that continue the megalithic tradition include standing stones, an example is found at Gibbethill (RMP WA009:015), 3km north- west of the site at Knockhouse Lowcr. Burnt mounds (li~krclztaififi'a),the ubiquitous monuments of the Irish Bronze Age are found throughout the county, with one located just to the north of the site at Knockhouse Lower. Combined with this is the cvidence from settlcment sites that have been discovered in the county over recent years: there are Neolithic, Beaker and Bronze Age settlement sites at Ahanaglogh (Tierney 2005; Tierney et al. 2002), c.18kln to the southwest of Knockhousc Lower. Closer by, there is cvidence for more Neolithic, Beaker and Bronze Age settlement in the adjoining townland of Carrickpherish as well as in Knockhouse Lower itself (McQuade 2006). When the land in this area, owned by the Industrial Development Authority Ireland, was zoned for industrial develop- ment it provided an opportunity to excavate a site that emerged as a relatively rare example of an enclosed Middle Bronze Age settlement. The Site The site was low-lying and situated on undulating ground approximately 3 km west of Waterford City (Figure I). It was c.10.5km north of the sea and was situat- ed within a bend in the River Suir, located roughly 1.25km to the northwest.

Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy.

  • Hobbes, Bramhall and the Politics of Liberty and Necessity
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87006-1 - Hobbes, Bramhall and the Politics Liberty and Necessity: A Quarrel of the Civil Wars and Interregnum Nicholas D. Jackson Frontmatter More information Hobbes, Bramhall and the Politics of Liberty and Necessity This is the first full account of one of the most famous quarrels of the seventeenth century, that between the philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679) and the Anglican archbishop of Armagh, John Bramhall (1594–1663). This analytical narrative interprets that quar- rel within its own immediate and complicated historical circumstances, the Civil Wars (1638–1649) and Interregnum (1649–1660). The personal clash of Hobbes and Bramhall is connected to the broader conflict, disorder, violence, dislocation and exile that charac- terised those periods. This monograph offers not only the first comprehensive narrative of their hostilities over two decades, but also an illuminating analysis of aspects of their private and public quarrel that have been neglected in previous biographical, historical and philosophical accounts, with special attention devoted to their dispute over political and religious authority. This will be essential reading for scholars of early modern British history, religious history and the history of ideas. nicholas d. jackson was a University Fellow at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University, from 1997 to 2005. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87006-1 - Hobbes, Bramhall and the Politics Liberty

  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished the Preservation and Destruction of the Christ Church Cathedral Deeds Stuart Kinsella
    Archive Fever, no. 10 (December 2019) No Good Deed Goes Unpunished The Preservation and Destruction of the Christ Church Cathedral Deeds Stuart Kinsella ‘Many charters were left scarcely legible, and particularly a foundation charter of King Henry II … could not by any means be read; the prior applied to the Barons of the Exchequer to enroll such of their deeds as were not wholly destroyed, and leave was accordingly given’ Image: Portrait of Michael Joseph McEnery, M.R.I.A., as printed in the Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Sixth Series, 14, no. 1 (1924): frontispiece. Beyond 2022 Archive Fever no. 10 (December, 2019) 1 | Page Archive Fever, no. 10 (December 2019) The Christ Church deeds were the oldest collection of material in the Public Record Office of Ireland. During the restoration of Christ Church in the 1870s, the cathedral authorities felt it wise to deposit the cathedral’s vast collection of medieval and early modern materials for safe keeping in the newly minted Public Record Office of Ireland, established in 1867, unaware, of course, that the materials would survive unscathed for only four decades.1 To the immense relief of posterity, a then junior civil servant in the office of the deputy keeper, was assigned to produce a calendar of the cathedral records, summarising them into English mostly from Latin and a few from French. Michael J. McEnery was his name, who began work in 1883, and was almost complete by 1884. He published them as appendices to the reports of the deputy keeper in 1888, 1891, 1892, with an index in 1895 up to the year 1602.

It has been accepted for inclusion in BYU Family Historian by an authorized editor of BYU ScholarsArchive. For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected]. RESEARCHING HUGUENOT SETTLERS IN IRELAND1 VIVIEN COSTELLO PREAMBLE This study is a genealogical research guide to French Protestant refugee settlers in Ireland, c. 1660–1760. It reassesses Irish Huguenot settlements in the light of new findings and provides a background historical framework. A comprehensive select bibliography is included. While there is no formal listing of manuscript sources, many key documents are cited in the footnotes. This work covers only French Huguenots; other Protestant Stranger immigrant groups, such as German Palatines and the Swiss watchmakers of New Geneva, are not featured. INTRODUCTION Protestantism in France2 In mainland Europe during the early sixteenth century, theologians such as Martin Luther and John Calvin called for an end to the many forms of corruption that had developed within the Roman Catholic Church. When their demands were ignored, they and their followers ceased to accept the authority of the Pope and set up independent Protestant churches instead. Bitter religious strife throughout much of Europe ensued. In France, a Catholic-versus-Protestant civil war was waged intermittently throughout the second half of the sixteenth century, followed by ever-increasing curbs on Protestant civil and religious liberties.3 The majority of French Protestants, nicknamed Huguenots,4 were followers of Calvin.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-18144-0 - Hobbes, Bramhall and the Politics of Liberty and Necessity: A Quarrel of the Civil Wars and Interregnum Nicholas D. Jackson Excerpt More information INTRODUCTION Historians may know that sometime in the seventeenth century the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes debated John Bramhall, Bishop of Derry. But where and what did they debate? And why did they debate the issues they did? It is not difficult to find brief descriptions or summaries of their public debate on free-will; this book provides the first comprehensive account not only of that debate, but also of their private quarrel and hostile relations during both the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and Interregnum. Hobbes and Bramhall argued about much more than ‘liberty’ and ‘necessity’ (free-will and determinism), and the following account offers a detailed historical expla- nation of their debating those and other issues. By situating their long and acrimonious, private and public, dispute within its contemporary context we may come to view the whole quarrel as a by-product or collateral intel- lectual skirmish of those rebellions and wars in the British Isles. We can also come to understand exactly what stakes they were playing for: what would a victory in the dispute mean to themselves, their friends and their audience? Although the clash of arms in their homeland was quite destructive, it was also productive of such contests of wit as the uncivil war of words between Hobbes and Bramhall that began across the Channel. In the summer of 1645, during the First English Civil War, Hobbes and Bramhall met in Paris, at the lodgings of their mutual acquaintance, the recently retired Cavalier general, the Marquess of Newcastle.
