105 Elections in Ireland Part One

On this episode of the Irish History Show we looked at the history of elections in Ireland. Parliament in Medieval Ireland was an event rather than an institution. The earliest known parliament was held in Castledermot in County Kildare and over the years parliament met in different towns and cities throughout the Anglo – Norman Lordship of Ireland. We looked at how these parliaments were elected, who they represented and what type of laws they passed. We looked at Poyning’s Law and the Statutes of Kilkenny. This first episode traced the history of elections up to the end of Williamite Wars. We have started a Patreon page for The Irish Story website and The Irish History Show.
