Description

"Ireland and Spain in the Reign of Philip II is a study of the evolution and the nature of political and religious relations between the two countries during the reign of the remarkable, and often-misunderstood, Philip II. The first four chapters, chronological in order, deal with the phenomenon of Irish exile in Spanish lands and the Spanish monarchy's involvement with exiles and their cause back home. Two further chapters trace the progress of the Irish in the Spanish army and the church. During this period, the Irish effectively established a new Ireland within Spain." "The great strength of this book is the fact that it has successfully mined the Spanish archives for much hitherto unknown material on the subject."--BOOK JACKET.
