The Folklore of the Battle of Aughrim (Talk #1)

A short talk on the folklore of the 1691 Battle of Aughrim by Abbie McGowan. This talk was first given during Heritage Week 2019 as part of Cath Eachroma's Walk About and Talk about event, and is based on original research of the Schools's Collection.

Great talk & keep up the good work! The social history & uniquely Irish culture of story telling is every bit as important in terms of overall societal impact as cold hard historical facts are. How the story of an event gets absorbed into a generation has a massive knock on affect to future generations as that story gets passed on.

Thanks so much Liam! I couldn't have put it better myself. I'm astounded by the wealth of folklore we have available. The school's collection is something very special.
