My review of Patrick Gleeson's tremendous book 'Landscapes of Kingship in Early Medieval Ireland AD 400-1150' (IrishTimes 23/08/25). Very hard to do it proper justice in 800 words, but already it has led me to redesign my medieval Irish lecture modules @historyatgalway.bsky.social #medievalireland.
