The Princes of Ireland (The Dublin Saga, #1)

by
Read this book in 2007, and its the 1st volume of a two-part series about Dublin and Ireland.
This book is set as from AD 430 until Ireland stopped being a Kingdom with a High King at Tara.
Several highlights through this history about Ireland and its Princes will be the legend of Cuchulainn, as well as the mission of St Patrick, the Viking invasions, and the trickery of King Henry II that will lead to England's establishment in Ireland.
Lived and seen from the perspectives of ordinary Irish people this history will come alive with all its ups and downs between the Irish Kingdoms themselves, and later on with the involvement of the English, and this is brought to us by the author in a most wonderful fashion.
Highly recommended, for this is a superb first outing of the Irish history, and that's why I like to call this masterpiece: "A Magnificent Princes Of Ireland"!
