Ireland 1577 Gaelic Culture Crushed

The massacre of Mullaghmast Massacre was the mass killing of between 100 and 400 members of the Gaelic nobility of Ireland by English forces under the ultimate command of Sir Henry Sidney in Mullaghmast, County Kildare in either late 1577 or 1 January 1578. It was one of many attempts to clear the countryside of natives so that new English plantations / settlements could be formed in Ireland.

Welcome to my channel, that is dedicated to the history and culture of Ireland.This is not set out to be a history lesson, but a ramble through some stories you might find interesting about Ireland from an Irishman! Ireland has so many connections throughout the world from the emigration from this country over so many centuries, but those with Irish blood in their families always have a yearning to know more about their "old country", this is my attempt to bring some of the history and culture they left behind. So if you fancy some tales about horsemen and highwaymen, banshee's and fairies, soldiers and rebels, legends and folklore, saints and scholars, please like and subscribe. I post once per month. Thank you for watching. Ronan.
