Inchiquin

The Inchiquin site is focused on the turbulent history of 17th Century Ireland, particularly on the series of conflicts known as the Eleven Years War (1641-53). The intent of the project is to catalogue the period in greater detail in the hope of gaining an understanding of the significance of the crisis in Irish and British history.
