He takes readers inside  all the major events in Irish history: the reign of the fierce and mighty kings of  Tara; the mission of Saint Patrick; the Viking invasion and the founding of Dublin;  the trickery of Henry II, which gave England its foothold on the island in 1167,  and which set the stage for the deadly conflicts between the kings of England and  the princes of Ireland that close this first volume of Edward Rutherfurd’s most recent  spellbinding tale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tens of millions of North Americans claim Irish descent. Generations  of people have been enchanted by Irish literature, and visitors flock to Dublin and  its environs year after year. \u003ci\u003eThe Princes of Ireland\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to all of them —  and to anyone who relishes epic entertainment spun by a master.","brand":"Edward Rutherfurd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":58727868367008,"sku":"9780385661294","price":11.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_902dfb4b-4921-4203-ab7d-97e4cf75d83a.jpg?v=1786818537","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780385661294","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
