Lecture abstract: Kingship represents at once the core institution and central problem of early medieval Ireland and its study. Yet, for the most part the institution of kingship tends to be portrayed as backward and somewhat isolated from normative European developments in the first millennium AD. This talk explores the long term development of strategies of rulership and governance in early medieval Ireland within a wider context, whilst detailing the evolution of concepts of kingdoms and territory related to same. It will examine a number of case study royal landscapes and kingdoms to detail wider societal and political developments.
