While Ireland has emerged as a vital part of the European and World Community of Nations, the history of the Irish people is little known and largely unappreciated.  This is particularly true for the more ancient history.  We’ll examine the origins of the Island called Ireland; the Mythologies upon which Irish Culture is based; the beginnings of Irish Civilization; the coming of the Celts and emergence of a fully Celtic Ireland; Patrick and a uniquely Celtic brand of Christianity; Viking incursions and the rise to power of the great Brian Boru; the coming of the Normans and gradual English dominance of the island.  It is impossible to understand contemporary Ireland without an appreciation for the ancient history and culture. Believe it or not, Ancient Ireland is a lot of fun! 5 SESSIONS
