Abstract
Description
PUBLISHED
This paper provides a preliminary investigation into the considerable body of evidence relating to weather extremes and natural hazards reported in the native Irish annals, described by the noted Gaelic scholar, Brian ? Cu?v, as ?the most copious and reliable native sources for the history of Ireland.? It will focus on the years covered by one particular set, currently known as The Annals of Connacht, the surviving text of which runs, with some gaps, from AD 1224 to 1544.
