Description:

Very few of the Gaelic aristocracy survive today, most being eradicated during the Tudor Wars of Conquest under Henry VIII, who asked them to exchange their titles for English earldoms. Only nineteen families maintain their ancient titles, still recognised by the modern Irish state. Peter Berresford Ellis tells the story of their history, their struggle for survival and their present-day lives. A great book by one of the foremost experts on the Celts.
