Elizabeth I has a great reputation in England, regarded as presiding over a golden age. In Ireland, her reputation is more tarnished, as her Irish policy was disastrous, resulting in many wars and atrocities.

What caused the Irish Famine? There is no simple answer to this. In addition to the blight, ideological blindness, moralism, prejudice, and the Poor Law all had a role

You are very welcome! Some people are far more attached to the Irish slavery myth than I believed possible... so it is go to get a thank you :-)
New video out now on the myth of Irish slavery and the political uses of this. Funny that even before it launched I was getting negative comments. Some really want to hang on to bad history
Have a look and click like or comment!
