Ireland's history is a tapestry of myth, rebellion, and resilience, stretching from the Neolithic tombs of Newgrange to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through centuries of struggle, beginning with Celtic chieftains and the arrival of Christianity via Saint Patrick in the 5th century. They explore the Viking invasions, the Anglo-Norman conquest under Strongbow in 1169, and the subsequent centuries of English domination, marked by the brutal Penal Laws and the Great Famine of the 1840s. The podcast delves into key figures like Hugh O'Neill, Wolfe Tone, Daniel O'Connell, and Michael Collins, as well as pivotal events: the Battle of the Boyne (1690), the 1798 Rebellion, the Easter Rising of 1916, the War of Independence, and the tragic Irish Civil War. It examines the partition of Ireland, the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and the long road to peace, including the Sunningdale Agreement and the Belfast Agreement. Cultural touchstones—Gaelic sport, the Irish language, the poetry of Yeats and Heaney, and the music of the Chieftains—are woven throughout. This is a story of colonisation and resistance, of emigration and diaspora, of a small island that shaped the world. How did a nation forged in famine and revolution become a global symbol of cultural identity?

  • The Great Famine 1845-1852: Ireland's Catastrophic Hunger

    The Great Famine 1845-1852: Ireland's Catastrophic Hunger
    2026/06/06
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Great Famine (An Gorta Mór) that devastated Ireland from 1845 to 1852. They discuss the potato blight (Phytophthora infestans), British government relief efforts under Sir Charles Trevelyan and Lord John Russell, the policy of laissez-faire, the role of absentee landlords, evictions, coffin ships, and the mass emigration to America and Canada. They also cover the impact on Irish language and culture, the failure of the potato crop, and the long-term demographic and social consequences. This episode draws on primary sources like the Illustrated London News and writings from John Mitchel, offering a nuanced look at one of the 19th century's greatest human tragedies. #GreatFamine #AnGortaMór #IrishHistory #PotatoBlight #CharlesTrevelyan #LordJohnRussell #CoffinShips #IrishEmigration #LaissezFaire #AbsenteeLandlords #Evictions #IrishLanguage #JohnMitchel #FamineRelief #19thCentury #History #FexingoHistory #Ireland Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Irish Church and the Synod of Cashel: Henry II's Invasion

    The Irish Church and the Synod of Cashel: Henry II's Invasion
    2026/06/06
    In 1172, one year after the murder of Thomas Becket, Henry II of England landed in Ireland with a massive army. But instead of fighting, he summoned Ireland's bishops and chieftains to the Synod of Cashel, where they effectively submitted to English ecclesiastical authority. This episode unpacks the political and religious maneuvering behind Henry's intervention—his desire to control the Norman adventurers already in Ireland, the papal bull Laudabiliter (whose authenticity is disputed), and the synod's decrees that brought Irish canon law in line with Rome. We explore the figure of Laurence O'Toole, Archbishop of Dublin, who negotiated the submission, and the long-term consequences: the introduction of English common law, the dispossession of Gaelic lords, and the beginning of eight centuries of English involvement in Ireland. The episode also touches on the contrasting views of historians—did the synod mark a genuine reform or a colonial conquest dressed in religious robes? Featuring the Book of Leinster, Henry II's charter for Dublin, and the fate of the Irish Church under Norman rule. #SynodOfCashel #HenryII #LaurenceOToole #NormanInvasionOfIreland #Laudabiliter #IrishChurch #BookOfLeinster #Dublin #Cashel #AdrianIV #AngloNorman #GaelicIreland #12thCentury #MedievalHistory #PopeAdrianIV #History #FexingoHistory #Ireland Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Siege of Limerick 1691: The Treaty That Changed Ireland

    The Siege of Limerick 1691: The Treaty That Changed Ireland
    2026/06/05
    In 1691, the fate of Ireland hung on the walls of Limerick. After the Battle of the Boyne, the Jacobite forces regrouped under Patrick Sarsfield, holding the city through a brutal summer siege. This episode follows the negotiations that produced the Treaty of Limerick—a document that promised Catholic toleration but was swiftly broken by the Protestant Ascendancy. We explore Sarsfield's daring raid at Ballyneety, the breakdown of talks, and the bitter choice between surrender and annihilation. The treaty's articles became the foundation for the Penal Laws that crushed Catholic Ireland for a century. But why did the victorious Williamites renege? And what did the 'Wild Geese'—the 12,000 Jacobite soldiers who left for France—mean for Ireland's future? This is the untold story of a treaty that was never honoured. #SiegeOfLimerick #PatrickSarsfield #TreatyOfLimerick #JacobiteIreland #WilliamiteWar #WildGeese #1691 #Ballyneety #GodertdeGinkel #Limerick #PenalLaws #CatholicIreland #ProtestantAscendancy #IrishHistory #17thCentury #MilitaryHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
