Thirty years’ work in Irish history (I)
With this issue of Irish Historical Studies we complete our thirtieth year of publication. Among other ways of marking the occasion, as announced in our last issue, a series of survey-articles has been planned, assessing the contribution of the past thirty years to the historiography of Ireland. Three of these articles appear below. The series is to be completed in five further articles dealing with Ireland before the Norman invasion, sixteenth-c…
The medieval county of Kildare
The general outlines of the Norman settlement of Leinster were laid downin the time of Strongbow. At the time of the Norman invasion that part of Leinster which was to become Kildare was divided into four main tribal territories, described as cantreds under the Normans: Offelan in the north; Offaly to the north-west and centre; Omurethy in the south; and Leix to the south-west. Offelan is now represented by the baronies of North and South Salt, I…
The native Irish and English law in medieval Ireland
The problems set by the Norman conquest of Ireland which began under Henry II cannot be properly appreciated if they are viewed in isolation.

Anglo-Irish shire government in the thirteenth century
The organization of the medieval Anglo-Irish lordship was designed to reproduce as exactly as possible the administrative system of England, but it was not introduced suddenly or all at once. Of the eleven shires which were governed by royal sheriffs at the end of the thirteenth century, Dublin is the only one which can be traced back to the twelfth century, and even then does not appear in the records till the 1190’s. It seems probable that at t…
The King's Secretary in The Fifteenth Century
The term secretanus was employed in England from the beginning of the thirteenth century in the varying meanings of a confidential clerk, an ambassador, or a member of the king's council. This undifferentiated use of the word had, however, practically ceased by the reign of Richard II, if not earlier, and from 1377 the secretanus regis is the holder of a definite office in the king's household, the king's confidential clerk a whose primary functi…
