The soil haulers who were contacted have until the end of February to respond with their expressed interest at which time the bids will be opened at attorney Dan Bloom's office. Once again the attendance at the December AOH-DJW Corporation meeting was poor. Much of the blame was put on the time of year, so I will ask the By-Laws Committee to consider a change in the schedule for corporation meetings. Also being considered is a combined AOH-DJW Corporation and AOH Division 2 meeting on four Sundays over the upcoming year. This will give those who can not make the regularly scheduled monthly meeting or corporation meeting a chance to attend. We still need sponsors for our newsletter. As an additional bonus, the ad will also be placed on the division's website. Each ad costs $100.00 per year. The newsletter has a circulation of at least 250 members, friends and their families. If you can help with placing an ad for your own business or find another sponsor, it would be appreciated. If any of your friends or business colleagues would like to receive our newsletter we can arrange this. There is a small cost of $5.00 per year for non-members to cover the cost of printing and mailing. On a different note, our first Irish Breakfast was held on Sunday January 11th and was successful. Future Irish Breakfasts are scheduled for the second Sunday of the month from 9 AM to 12 Noon. Adults are $7.50 each. A smaller child's breakfast of pancakes and sausages is available at $4.00 per child. The breakfasts include all the fixins! This is something new and we could use all the help you can give us (both by attending or helping to cook). Finally, Kevin Cummings, Division 2 President and I have organized an "events calendar" for 2004 which you will find inserted into this newsletter. Please keep it handy so that you don't miss any of the many division events taking place in Hibernian Hall and elsewhere. There will be reminders in every monthly newsletter, so watch for any updates. Best wishes for a Happy, Healthy New Year! Happy New Year to All!

  • Concealed Criticism: the Uses of History in Anglonorman Literature

    Concealed Criticism: the Uses of History in Anglonorman Literature

    Concealed Criticism: The Uses of History in Anglo­Norman Literature, 1130­1210 By William Ristow Submitted to The Faculty of Haverford College In partial fulfillment of the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in History 22 April, 2016 Readers: Professor Linda Gerstein Professor Darin Hayton Professor Andrew Friedman Abstract The twelfth century in western Europe was marked by tensions and negotiations between Church, aristocracy, and monarchies, each of which vied with the others for power and influence. At the same time, a developing literary culture discovered new ways to provide social commentary, including commentary on the power-negotiations among the ruling elite. This thesis examines the the functions of history in four works by authors writing in England and Normandy during the twelfth century to argue that historians used their work as commentary on the policies of Kings Stephen, Henry II, and John between 1130 and 1210. The four works, Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniae, Master Wace’s Roman de Brut, John of Salisbury’s Policraticus, and Gerald of Wales’ Expugnatio Hibernica, each use descriptions of the past to criticize the monarchy by implying that the reigning king is not as good as rulers from history. Three of these works, the Historia, the Roman, and the Expugnatio, take the form of narrative histories of a variety of subjects both imaginary and within the author’s living memory, while the fourth, the Policraticus, is a guidebook for princes that uses historical examples to prove the truth of its points. By examining the way that the authors, despite the differences between their works, all use the past to condemn royal policies by implication, this thesis will argue that Anglo-Norman writers in the twelfth century found history-writing a means to criticize reigning kings without facing royal retribution.

Irish history is a long, dark road, with many blind alleys, many sudden turnings, many unaccountably crooked portions; a road which, if it has a few sign-posts to guide us, bristles with threatening notices, now upon the one side and now upon the other, the very ground underfoot being often full of unsuspected perils threatening to hurt the unwary. To the genuine explorer, flushed with justified self-confidence, well equipped for the journey, and indifferent to scratches or bruises, one may suppose this to be rather an allurement than otherwise, as he spurs along, lance at rest, and sword on side.

At the time of the Norman Invasion the most southerly Baronies (Cantreds) of Wexford County, Forth and Bargy were realistically under the control of a Wexford Town and Port society, that was essentially Hiberno-Norse in its inhabitants.

The surname is anglicised as Kinsella and in vernacular terminology was referred to in ancient times as “Hy-Kinsella”.

LACY Foreword This volume of essays had its origin in a symposium on Medieval French Literature held October 8-10, 1970, at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. The symposium included the presentation and discussion of six papers, as well as a production of Lo Jutgamen general, a fifteenth-century Provencal Last Judgment play, directed by Professor Moshé Lazar. Contributors have had the opportunity to revise their papers as they wish for publication ; in substance, however, all the essays except that of Professor J. Neale Carman are printed as they were read at Lawrence. The article which Professor Carman offers here is a substitution for his paper "The Patrons and Planners of the Pseudo-Map Cycle," which is included in a longer work, not yet published, "On the Historico-Geographic Background of the Pseudo-Map Cycle of Arthurian Romance." The lack of a specific, unifying theme for the conference and for this collection did not seem to us to constitute a serious problem ; on the contrary, we welcomed the diversity of subjects and critical approaches.

PREFACE. Irish history is a long, dark road, with many blind alleys, many sudden turnings, many unaccountably crooked portions; a road which, if it has a few sign-posts to guide us, bristles with threatening notices, now upon the one side and now upon the other, the very ground underfoot being often full of unsuspected perils threatening to hurt the unwary. To the genuine explorer, flushed with justified self-confidence, well equipped for the journey, and indifferent to scratches or bruises, one may suppose this to be rather an allurement than otherwise, as he spurs along, lance at rest, and sword on side.
