“Tara and the rebellion of 1641″

- Dr. Tadhg Ó hAnnracháin, School of History and Archives, UCD


The insurrection of 1641 was one of the hinge-points of Irish history for it directly precipitated the mass involvement of the catholic population in rebellious activity and consummated a historical process which established sectarian division as the principal fault line within Irish identity. Central to this process was the historically unprecedented alliance between the lords of the Pale and the invading Ulster Irish which was explicitly established at the hills of Knockcrofty and Tara, traditional hosting points of the Pale community. This lecture examines the background to this fateful event and explores some of its most important ramifications through the decades and centuries which followed.

Last weeks lecture, Saturday, 4 Nov, was:

‘The Kingship of Tara: The Views of the Four Masters’
- Dr Joseph Flahive, Dept. of Old and Modern Irish, UCC


Dr. Flahive looked at the manner in which earlier text was used by the Four Masters for the ideological end of driving home the point that Ireland is and always was a kingdom with a national monarchy. Tara finds itself torn in their views between being the seat of that kingship, but also a sign of its pre-Christian origins, destroyed by the purification of that monarchy. The views of the Four Masters, along with those of Keating, stand at the core of the romanticist idea of the High Kingship that dominated until quite recently.

Mrs. Aideen Ireland, President of RSAI said in a recent letter to the Irish Times: http://www.rsai.ie/index.cfm?action=obj.display&obj_id=133

“Over one hundred years ago this Society campaigned vigorously to have ill considered excavations by the British-Israelites on the Hill of Tara stopped. On that occasion the excavations ceased and the site was preserved. It would be a scandal if Tara, saved on that occasion, were now to be sacrificed in the interests of short-term progress.”
