Sean Duffy: The Vikings and the Irish Sea.

Seán Duffy, Professor of Medieval Irish and Insular History, specializes in the history of medieval Ireland and, in particular, three aspects: first, the political history of Ireland from the Viking Age to the Bruce Invasion; second, Irish relations with England, Scotland, and Wales in the same period; and third, the history and archaeology of medieval Dublin.

These lectures will be followed by a panel discussion and Q & A then rounded off with a wine reception.
