The reality of an indigenous Irish nobility is not much understood or accepted inside Ireland itself, much less in the rest of the world. As the victors write the history, too much Irish history has omitted any reference to the fact that Ireland had its own kings and nobles well before the Norman-English intruded on the scene. To this day the claims of persons such as the MacCarthy Mor to royal status are met with skepticism; relevant to this book, one individual expressed this skepticism so openly as to warrent a suit before the Italian courts. This lawsuit offered the MacCarthy Mor to present to a court of experts his credentials as Head of the Royal House of Munster, as Chief of his Name, and as rightful bearer of the coat of arms of the MacCarthy Mor. The Court carefully reviews and expounds on the evidence presented, and the ruling presents in detail the Court's rationale for fully supporting the MacCarthy Mor's claims. This book is a must read for any student of Irish history, modern aristocracy, chivalry, or heraldry. A word of warning, though: this is a legal document, and it reads like one -- don't expect light reading, but do expect to be educated!

Actually.....nil stars.Only buy it if you are the sort of person who buys timeshare, the Eiffel Tower, etc... For those who are unaware, the "MacCathy Mor" discussed in the book was really an imposter.

The hidden past has been brought to light!,

For all those interested in the true history of Ireland and it's native, Gaelic aristocracy, this work shows that there is some hope that the ignorance of several centuries can be overcome through perserverance and using the truth. It shows an important victory for all those who believe that the present and the past are interconnected. Despite it's legalistic nature, this book is easy to read and understand. No serious student of Irish history and culture should be without it. J. Michael Dwyer, NN, OLJ, JD
