Fakta

County Wicklow's landscape is dotted with pre-Christian sites – Baltinglass is known as the 'Hillfort Capital of Ireland'. Saint Patrick landed here in 432 AD and the county also boasts ecclesiastical sites, the most impressive being Glendalough. Following the Anglo-Norman invasion of 1169-70, Normans occupied the lowlands, but native Irish inhabited the uplands, leading to conflict throughout the Middle Ages. Wicklow became the last county to be shired in 1606. However, Wicklow witnessed more violence through the seventeenth century and it was only after 1700 that the elite felt safe enough to build great houses such as Powerscourt and Russborough. Wicklow was in turmoil during the 1798 rebellion. Economic recovery was halted by the tragedy of Famine. Later in the nineteenth century, the Parnells led the Home Rule movement, the Land League and the Ladies' Land League. The twentieth century saw war, revolution and hardship before better times arrived after 1960. This rich history is all covered in this accessible little book.
