Join us on Saturday, 21 May 2016 for the 18th Medieval Dublin symposium.
This year’s symposium takes place – as usual – in the Robert Emmet Theater (Room 2037) in the Arts Building, Trinity College Dublin and the lineup promises a wealth of new information on medieval Dublin.
Opening with an investigation of the archaeology of James’s Street by Antoine Giacometti and followed by Áine Foley’s exploration of piety and patronage demonstrated by the Anglo-Norman le Brun family, this year’s symposium will present a range of studies,
Theresa O’Byrne will examine the promotion and networks of the fifteenth-century Dublin notary and writer James Yonge, after which Gill Boazman will outline the ecclesiastical patronage and politics evident in Viking-Age Rathdown.
After lunch Dagmar Ó Riain Raedel will present findings on a reconsideration of the origins of Dublin’s Christ Church cathedral and Paul Dryburgh will explore Mortimer’s actions in Dublin during the Bruce invasion.
Sheila Dooley’s paper will allow us to rediscover the lost medieval church of St Michael and city archaeologist Ruth Johnson will conclude the symposium with a presentation on an important new resource for medieval Dublin by offering an overview to the Dublin City and County Archaeology GIS Project.
We hope to see you all there for another great day of lectures!
