Mapping Ulster (2013x119)

Data emisji: Kwi 29, 2013

Historian Jerry Brotton explores Northern Ireland's vivid origins, tracing the arrival and impact of Scots and English migrants in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, through a unique collection of extraordinary maps. Before this moment, the land was wild and sparsely populated. Afterwards, the land, her peoples, politics and faiths, were completely transformed. Jerry reveals the role of maps and economics at the heart of the plantation of Ulster with help from experts and animation bringing rarely-seen primary sources to life.
