Patrick Desmond Carl Alexander Guinness, KCEG KLJ (born 1 August 1956 in Dublin) is an Irish historian and author, one of heirs of the Guinness business dynasty, and additionally the rightful heir of several medieval-originated honours and titles which he has not claimed openly. Son of Desmond Guinness and Marie-Gabrielle von Urach, he was educated at Winchester College and Trinity College Dublin. He continues his father's business in real estate development and is a financial analyst. He formerly represented Sotheby's in Ireland. Historian A historian, Patrick Guinness has authored the first biography of Arthur Guinness, the founder of the Guinness brewery dynasty. Patrick has lectured on genetic genealogy relating to the early Irish dynasties and Viking Ireland, and has sponsored academic research on Irish genetics. He was a council member of the County Kildare Archaeological Society (2004–14)and of the Order of Clans of Ireland. Patrick has produced monographs on the early history of the Friendly Brothers of St Patrick in Kildare, 1758–91; on the depositions from Kildare on the outbreak of the Irish Rebellion of 1641;[7] and on the Irish Jacobite ancestry of the Mitford family (privately published). Family His daughter by his first marriage is model Jasmine Guinness. He remarried in 1990 to Louise Arundel; the couple has four children. Through his mother's grandfather William, second Duke of Urach, he is a potential claimant to the medieval Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Kingdom of Lithuania and to the Principality of Monaco (see Monaco Succession Crisis of 1918). He is also 2259th in line of succession to the British throne. In 2015 he gave a lecture on Irish history at the Princess Grace Irish Library in Monaco. Patrick Guinness, eldest son of his late mother, is one of those persons living today who is genealogically legitimate heir general of several noble families at least as far as from the 15th century. These heirships include that of marquess Rodolphe de Bade, count of Neuchatel (1427-1487) and that of Adrienne d'Estouteville (1512-1560), in her own right heiress of Estouteville in Normandy, who was created 1st Duchess of Estouteville in the peerage of France. Partly because of previous family involvements, he is a trustee of the Iveagh Trust social housing provider, and President of the Irish Georgian Society. Honours In September 2010, he became a Knight of Justice of the Military and Hospitaller Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem at a ceremony in St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. In 2013, he was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Eagle of Georgia by HRH Prince David Bagrationi Mukhran Batonishvili, Head of the Royal House of Georgia. On 10 March 2015 the Texas Senate passed a resolution sponsored by Senator Watson welcoming Mr Guinness to the Texas State Capitol. .

These diaspora in turn exercise real political and cultural power across the Anglophone world. Yet this characteristic of these two Celtic peoples was a direct consequence of the politics of place in the homeland. Both Ireland and Scotland had, and continue to have, a contested relationship to the divisions and subdivisions, the management and improvement of the agricultural land which they inhabit. The Great Famine and the Clearances attest to that. This issue of the Journal of Irish and Scottish Studies brings together a set of occasional papers which reﬂ ect on the complex weave of migration and the politics of land since the nineteenth century.

Thomas Duncan: Biographical Details
WHO ARE THE IRISH? MIXING GAELS, VIKINGS, NORMANS & PLANTERS A SERIES OF FOUR WEBINARS INTRODUCTION This handout supports my recent series of four webinar lectures delivered in early February, 2021. Given the length of period covered, from c. 800 to 1800, a prose introduction is beyond the scope of this document. Those seeking to explore further the history which unites ‘our shared island spaces’ will, I hope, find adequate material in the Reading List below. Lists of images for all four lectures are also included, primarily to aid those who are unfamiliar with Irish place names, or wish to look at the lectures a second time. Please note I am unable to supply OS grid references for each site. READING LIST This reading list is not meant to be comprehensive - Irish historic studies is already an over-populated territory. So, I have confined my suggestions to those areas which reflect the material covered in the lectures, based on my own interests and reading. For the early period of Irish archaeology and history, please refer to the reading list which accompanied the initial pair of lectures on Ancient Ireland. If you have not already received this reading list (it has been sent out ONLY to those who registered for the first series of lectures) copies can be forwarded via email to anyone who is interested. Books mentioned will not always be in print so you may need to resort to a ‘google’ search to track down a particular title. Those marked with an asterisk * are also available in paperback. I am afraid I am not able to supply ISBN details for books included as it would take up too much time.

Submitted in Accordance with the Requirements for the Degree of In
DECADENCE AND RESILIENCE: A STUDY OF THE ARISTOCRATIC NOVEL IN ENGLISH IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by JOHAN ANDRIES WESSELS submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject ENGLISH at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER: PROF. L.H. HUGO NOVEMBER 1992 SUMMARY The aristocratic novel in the twentieth century depicts the successes and failures of the aristocracy's efforts to come to terms with the social realities brought about by contemporary egalitarianism. Although several of the novels discussed are written by aristocrats, the aristocratic novel as such refers to novels about the aristocracy as a social grouping. Seven authors are selected to represent fictional treatment of a class in crisis, struggling between decadence and resilience: V. Sackville-West, Evelyn Waugh, Nancy Mitford, Elizabeth Bowen, Molly Keane, L.P. Hartley and Emma Tennant. Sackville-West faces and chronicles the inevitable decay of her class, yet cannot refrain from mourning its gracious past. To her, the manor house symbolizes an ancient idyllic symbiosis between aristocrat and worker. To Evelyn Waugh, the aristocracy embodies the finest achievements of inherited English culture. He regards its decline as the crumbling of Christian civilization itself. Resilience against the rising proletariate lies in faith and a chivalrous other-worldliness associated with the old Catholic aristocracy. Mitford uses comedy to defend the ideals of service and honour which she sees undermined by vulgarity and mercantilism. She resists her opponents with lethal swipes of raillery. Bowen and Keane deal with the decline of the Irish Protestant Ascendancy. The heirs of the ascendancy have to cope with the paralysing bequest of a more vital past.
