In an attempt to further my research, I have started this blog to organize my information on Irish history and Ireland into a more comprehensive way. Hopefully I'll maintain this information and it will prompt me to keep it going. My main goal is to develop a better understanding of Medieval Ireland so as to provide myself with a better persona. If you'd like to keep track of this blog, the link to my RSS file is http://scaireland.blogspot.com/atom.xml Happy feeding!

Maritime Ireland
Another book to add to my future reading list is The King's Customs, Vol 1 by Atton & Holland published in 1908. It is supposed to be "an account of maritime revenue & contraband traffic in England, Scotland and Ireland, from the earliest times to the year 1800." I have yet to challenge this claim, but for now a reminder is set in this post that I need to do so. A quick perusal indicates that the information in the book may start around the time of Edward I or the late 13th century.
