Clonmacnois was one of the main ecclesiastical centres in early Christian Ireland. Yet no comprehensive work has hitherto been published which examines its history as an institution of religious, social and economic life. This book undertakes a detailed analysis of Clonmacnois before and during the age of reform and assesses possible reasons for its subsequent decline as an ecclesiastical centre. It traces the history of the former lay-ecclesiastical aristocracy down to the later Middle Ages, and, using previously neglected evidence surviving in seventeenth-century transcripts, sets out to reconstruct the extent of the former monastic lands.
After his victory against the Great Empire of Galed, Slaine is crowned the King of Hasenvalia. The young monarch spends the early days of his rule in comfort, preparing to marry his aide-turned-lover, Monica—but a shocking betrayal and an empire-backed coup attempt threaten to drag his tiny kingdom back into strife and unrest. If Slaine wishes to hold on to his crown and protect his people, he must devise a cunning plan to dismantle the empire’s impregnable Sauerland Fortress from within—and thwart the nefarious Imperial Prince Florenz once and for all. The second installment in the Crown of Rutile Quartz series, a fantasy saga chronicling the cutthroat politics and harrowing battles a clever young king must face in his rise to power. Follow Slaine as he uses his wit and knack for strategy to beat impossible odds.
