The Chronicle of Ireland

By Hanmer and Marleburrough

This ancient work, written in 1571 and published 1809, is marked The Second Part -- but as the chronological narration begins 300 years after The Flood, we must assume any preceding part covered Biblical times, and would have only mythological connections with the history of Ireland. The bulk of this work was by Meredith Hanmer, and covers the period from three centuries after The Flood to the year 1284. From 1285 to 1421 is covered by Henry Marleburrough, and there this narrative ends.
