The series draws on new research conducted by the FoodCult project, led by Trinity historian Dr Susan Flavin, and moves between the kitchens of Dublin Castle and the reconstructed Tudor brew houses combining history, science, archaeology, craft and film.Dining at Dublin Castle: Food, Accounts and Authority in the Sixteenth CenturyThis lecture takes a close, forensic look at one of the richest sources for sixteenth-century life at Dublin Castle: its household accounts.The talk explores how these records were created and used, and what they reveal when read carefully. By examining how food, drink, costs, provisioning and dining arrangements were recorded, it shows how historians can reconstruct everyday life within the Castle household and understand the practical demands of sustaining authority on a daily basis.The lecture also shows how the same accounts underpin experimental reconstructions of food and drink, including beer. The tasting during the series draws directly on this evidence, demonstrating how account books record what was actually brewed, bought and served, and why that makes them such a valuable guide to everyday practice.Link to the film Drunk?
