Ireland (i/ˈaɪərlənd/; Irish: Éire [ˈeːɾʲə]; Ulster-Scots: Airlann [ˈɑːrlən]) is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George's Channel. Ireland is the second-largest island of the British Isles, the third-largest in Europe, and the twentieth-largest on Earth.
Politically, Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland), which covers five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, and located in the northeast of the island. In 2011 the population of Ireland was about 6.4 million, ranking it the second-most populous island in Europe after Great Britain. Just under 4.6 million live in the Republic of Ireland and just over 1.8 million live in Northern Ireland.
The island's geography comprises relatively low-lying mountains surrounding a central plain, with several navigable rivers extending inland. The island has lush vegetation, a product of its mild but changeable climate which avoids extremes in temperature. Thick woodlands covered the island until the Middle Ages. As of 2013, the amount of land that is wooded in Ireland is about 11% of the total, compared with a European average of 35%. There are 26 extant mammal species native to Ireland. The Irish climate is very moderated and classified as oceanic. As a result, winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area. However, summers are cooler than those in Continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant.
A brief overview of the history of Ireland and the events that led to the political division of the island. Including: the Norman and Tudor conquest of Ireland, the break away from the Roman Catholic Church, the Union of the Crowns, the various Irish Rebellions, Oliver Cromwell's effect on Ireland, Irish joining the Union, the Irish War for Independence, the following Civil War, and the recent violence in Northern Ireland known as The Troubles.

The Tudors centralised power in fits and starts - but Elizabeth I was forced to deal with Ireland head on. External factors propelled this - a Protestant queen far from secure on her throne, Ireland's potential as a back door to England for hostile powers was the catalyst for much of the action in the Elizabethan Age. We see canny Irish leaders horse trading with the European superpowers, Spain and Rome. The emergence of major secular divides is brought to light in this era, as is the destruction of an old Gaelic order in the wake of Kinsale.

So this week we're excited to be exploring Dublin and we're planning to spend an entire week here. This video is going to highlight 25 things to do around the city. Dublin is where most trips in Ireland begin, so before seeing the rest of the country, Audrey and I spent a whole week getting to know the capital. When the weather cooperated we walked around the city, toured Trinity College, and visited the botanical gardens, and when it poured rain as it often does in this part of the world, we just popped into a pub for some Irish stew and a pint of Guinness.

In part one of my travel guide to Dublin, I travel to Dublin's number one attraction, the Guinness Storehouse, I go in search of the bar that serves the best pint, I visit prestigious Trinity College, and I head out into the famed nightlife that is Dublin after dark.
We start in bustling Belfast's City Hall and Ulster Museum, then head out to Northern Ireland's favorite resort: Portrush, along the Antrim Coast, where we taste-test Irish whiskey, scramble over some six-sided geology in the Giant's Causeway, drop in on a world-class golf course, and stomp our feet to some traditional music. © 2004 Rick Steves' Europe

Historian Dr. Ann Chambers delivers a lecture in Ballintubber Abbery, Co. Mayo, Ireland, as part of the 800th anniversary of the foundation of the Abbey about Tibbot ne Long Bourke (at sea, 1567 – 18 June 1629, Kinturk, Mayo), aka Theobald Bourke, who was a clan chief of the MacWilliam Burkes of County Mayo in Ireland, and was later created the first Viscount Mayo. His successful life followed and usefully illustrates the difficult transition for Irish aristocrats from the traditional Gaelic world during the Tudor conquest of Ireland. Bourke's name had varying spellings such as "Teabóid" or "Tepóitt" in medieval Irish. Tibbot derived from Thibault, the French for Theobald; and "ne Long" meant "of the ships", as he was born on a ship. This was usually rendered in Tudor English as Tibbott ...

Sometimes called The Virgin Queen, Gloriana or Good Queen Bess, the childless Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII by second wife, Anne Boleyn, who was executed two and a half years after Elizabeth's birth.

However, Edward's will was set aside and Mary became queen, deposing Lady Jane Grey. During M...

"Sex and Swords in Petticoats: Female Pirates of the Caribbean in the Early Modern Period" Presented by Dr. Sharonah Fredrick Assistant Director, ACMRS About the Program The violent world of the Colonial West Indies was generally conceived in male terms: pirates and privateers, sea battles between Europe’s imperial powers, emancipated Maroon slave communities led by men… but the Early Modern Caribbean was the scene of some of the most famous female buccaneers in history. Their names — Anne Bonny, Mary Reade, and countless others — as well as their Old World predecessors, such as the Irish women pirates who fought, and made a truce with, Elizabeth Tudor, open up a new field for Renaissance, New World, and gender research. Women sailed the seas and commanded male crews; led slave revolts a...
