The Flight of the Earls/Imeacht na nIarlaí remains one of the most poignant and intriguing episodes in Irish history. As with much of Ireland's past, it has been remembered differently by various political and religious communities. Until recently, its focus has been very much centred upon the records of the Dublin Administration, but the essays in this volume offer far greater analysis of the native Irish and European contexts.
The flight precipitated the emergence of an Irish Catholic academic, diplomatic military, political and religious diaspora on continental Europe, which made enormous contributions to seventeenth-century Ireland and Europe. It is no exaggeration to say that Ireland's long-lived, far-flung, multifaceted European diaspora - inspired by the monastic and scholarly traditions of Colum Cille, Columbanus and Don Scottus Eriugena - enabled a small, peripheral, under-populated island to box far above its weight across the spectrum of early modern European society.
It was in Ireland, however, that the flight's profoundest consequences occurred, and perhaps its best-known and most significant sequel was the Plantation of Ulster.
It is fitting that a publication which covers all aspects of the flight of the earls should be dedicated to Dr Brendan I. Bradshaw and the late Professor Breandán Ó Buachalla, two scholars whose ground-breaking work on the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, early modern Irish historiography and literary criticism would inspire the editors and many of the contributors to this volume.
