The 1317 Siege of Dublin

In February 1317 Dublin faced its greatest crisis. A huge army lead by Robert the Bruce, king of Scotlan d was making its way to lay siege to the city. With no army to defend the city, Dubliners were effectively on their own. However everyone in the city could not be trusted, a few days earlier the Earl of Ulster who also happened to be Bruce’s father in law arrived. Within weeks most of Dublin would be burned to the ground but not in the way you might expect Support the Podcast on Patreon.com/irishpodcast Join me on a tour Dublinfaminetour.ie For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
