An accessible history of a tragic seventeenth-century journey by Irish leaders to request aid against the British. When some ninety-nine persons, led by Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, and Rory O'Donnell, Earl of Tyrconnell, sailed from Ireland, it was destined to be the most momentous event in the history of the island. The flight paved the way for the plantation of Ulster which introduced into that province Scots Presbyterians, a sectarian division which still, after four hundred years, defies the best efforts of the British and Irish governments to resolve.

<p>This volume tells the story of a people who, though persecuted and impoverished, generated a vibrant religion, with all-pervasive homespun spirituality. Without churches or presbyteries, religion became people-centred. All the important ceremonies took place in the home - masses, christenings, confessions, weddings and wakes. It was a celebratory Church, enjoying its wakes no less than its weddings.</p>

A Hidden Church: The Diocese of Achonry 1689-1818

<p>When some ninety-nine persons, led by Hugh O'Neill , Earl of Tyrone and Rory O'Donnell, Earl of Tyrconnell, sailed from Rathmullen County Donegal on 14 September 1607, it was destined to be probably the most momentous event in the history of the island of Ireland. The flight paved the way for the plantation of Ulster, which introduced into that province Scots Presbyterians a sectarian division which still after four hundred years, defies the best efforts of the British and Irish governments to resolve. This compact history covers their entire fateful trip to the bitter end when O'Neill, the last to survive, died in 1616, still pleading for help from Spain.</p>

The Flight of the Earls: A Popular History

Not only an ecclesiastical history of the diocese of Achonry, but a socio-political examination into the lives of its people from the sixth until seventeenth century. It charts the first thousand years of Christianity in Ireland, all while tracking imporant figures, identifying key events and situating all within the context of time. The study draws on the National Libraries of Ireland and Britain, and the Vatican Archives. Beginning with a survey of what St. Patrick would have found in Ireland in the 6th century, and the early Achonry saints, Attracta, Finninan and Fechin, then covering the establishment of the monasteries, and the establishment of the diocese as an entity along with local parish and rectory boundaries, the social and political life of Achonry is charted right through to the impact of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, and the campaigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The impact that this one diocese on the west coast of Ireland had on the Council of Trent, and the volume of correspondance between Achonry and the Vatican is a revelation in itself.
