Abstract:
"This investigation considers the places in the Irish landscape where open-air Gaelic royal inauguration assemblies were held in the period c.1100-1600. It emphasises the significant role that specially appointed inauguration sites played in the political life of later medieval Gaelic lordships through an exploration of their physical appearance, place-names, situational geography and historical contexts." "The range of archaeological sites identified as inauguration places includes enclosures, more popularly sepulchral mounds, and less frequently natural places, ringforts and churches, in addition to associated inauguration furniture in the form of leaca and stone thrones, basin stones and sacred trees."--BOOK JACKET.
