Synopsis

This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Ulster, a region in Ireland, just before and after the English plantation of the 17th century. The author meticulously examines a collection of ancient maps dating back to the late Elizabethan era, providing a detailed account of the region's landscape, settlements, and inhabitants. The maps, which include both general descriptions of Ulster and detailed baronial maps, reveal the complex political and social realities of the time, showcasing the distribution of power between native Irish lords and English settlers. The author delves into the significance of each map, drawing attention to castles, churches, forts, and other landmarks, illuminating the lives of the people who lived in this dynamic and changing region. Through careful analysis of the maps, the author provides a unique window into the process of English colonization in Ireland and its impact on the lives of both Irish and English inhabitants.
