History Studies: University of Limerick History Society Journal Vol (12)

I am pleased to present a diverse set of essays in volume twelve of History Studies. The high number of submissions shows the abundance of postgraduate history researchers working at this time. Many exceptional essays were rejected wholly on the basis of a lack of space. The essays in this journal are from contributors across Britain and Ireland, encompassing a wide range of topics. From 13th century warfare to political violence in Cork in the first decade of the 20th century, various political themes are also evident spanning a number of countries. The diversity of submissions shows the strength of postgraduate research withthin the universities on these islands. Paul Hayes
