Summary:

Very few documentary sources survive from twelfth-century Ireland. The Latin charters issued by Irish kings are therefore an especially valuable body of evidence. This book is the first modern edition and commentary on these charters and sheds valuable light on the political and religious history of twelfth- and early thirteenth-century Gaelic Ireland.
