Cunningham, Bernadette, Medieval Irish pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela, Dublin: Four Courts Press, 2018.  
abstract:

There has been a tremendous resurgence of interest in pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. In this book the author reveals a story of a much longer connection between Ireland and the pilgrimage than previously thought. Stories of men and women who went from Ireland to Santiago de Compostela in the Middle Ages tell of Irish involvement in one of the major pilgrimages of the medieval Christian world. The long and hazardous journey by land and sea to the shrine of St James in Galicia was not undertaken lightly. This innovative book explores the varied influences on and motivations of the pilgrims, as well as the nature of medieval travel, in order to understand when, why and how pilgrims from Ireland went to Santiago in the heyday of the pilgrimage, between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. It draws on official documents, historical chronicles, literary texts, saints’ Lives and archaeological finds to uncover stories of those Anglo-Norman and Gaelic pilgrims who ventured beyond the confines of their local communities in search of salvation and perhaps a little adventure.

abstract:

This edition calendars material in the National Archives in London (TNA, formerly PRO) relating to policy towards Ireland and the governance of Ireland in the late Tudor period. The documents in this calendar date from the opening two years of Sir Henry Sidney’s first term in office as lord deputy of Ireland, from January 1566 to December 1567. While English perspectives on Ireland predominate, historians wishing to concentrate on themes relating to ‘natives’ rather than ‘newcomers’ in early modern Ireland will find the state papers an invaluable source.
