Ireland's history is a tapestry of myth, rebellion, and resilience, stretching from the Neolithic tombs of Newgrange to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through centuries of struggle, beginning with Celtic chieftains and the arrival of Christianity via Saint Patrick in the 5th century. They explore the Viking invasions, the Anglo-Norman conquest under Strongbow in 1169, and the subsequent centuries of English domination, marked by the brutal Penal Laws and the Great Famine of the 1840s. The podcast delves into key figures like Hugh O'Neill, Wolfe Tone, Daniel O'Connell, and Michael Collins, as well as pivotal events: the Battle of the Boyne (1690), the 1798 Rebellion, the Easter Rising of 1916, the War of Independence, and the tragic Irish Civil War. It examines the partition of Ireland, the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and the long road to peace, including the Sunningdale Agreement and the Belfast Agreement. Cultural touchstones—Gaelic sport, the Irish language, the poetry of Yeats and Heaney, and the music of the Chieftains—are woven throughout. This is a story of colonisation and resistance, of emigration and diaspora, of a small island that shaped the world. How did a nation forged in famine and revolution become a global symbol of cultural identity?

  • The Flight of the Earls: How Gaelic Ireland Lost Its Leaders

    The Flight of the Earls: How Gaelic Ireland Lost Its Leaders
    2026/06/08
    In September 1607, Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, and Rory O'Donnell, Earl of Tyrconnell, boarded a ship at Rathmullan, County Donegal, and sailed into exile, never to return. Their departure — known as the Flight of the Earls — transformed Irish history, clearing the way for the Ulster Plantation and the collapse of the old Gaelic order. This episode traces the events leading to that fateful voyage: the aftermath of the Nine Years' War, the Treaty of Mellifont, O'Neill's uneasy submission to Lord Deputy Mountjoy, the discovery of the alleged conspiracy involving Spanish support, and the desperate decision to flee. We examine the evidence for and against the conspiracy theory, the Earls' lives in Rome, and the legacy of their exile for Irish nationalism. Featuring Hugh O'Neill, Rory O'Donnell, Lord Deputy Mountjoy, James I, the Treaty of Mellifont, and the Spanish Habsburgs. #FlightOfTheEarls #HughONeill #RoryODonnell #NineYearsWar #TreatyOfMellifont #UlsterPlantation #Rathmullan #JamesI #LordDeputyMountjoy #GaelicIreland #IrishExile #SpanishHabsburgs #Rome #StPeter #1607 #IrishHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Burning of Wildgoose Lodge: Sectarian Terror in 1816 Ireland

    The Burning of Wildgoose Lodge: Sectarian Terror in 1816 Ireland
    2026/06/08
    In October 1816, a farmhouse in County Louth called Wildgoose Lodge was set ablaze, killing eight people including an infant. This episode unpacks the sectarian feud between the Ribbonmen and the Orangemen that led to the massacre, the legal aftermath, and how the event exposed the raw wounds of the Penal Laws era. We follow the trial that condemned eighteen men to execution, the role of informer Patrick Drumgoole, and the controversial final speech of the convicted leader Patrick Devan. The episode considers how sectarian violence persisted long after the Act of Union, and what Wildgoose Lodge reveals about the fragility of peace in post-1798 Ireland. We also discuss the ballad that commemorated the burning and how it kept the memory alive for generations. This is not a tale of heroes but of ordinary people caught in cycles of revenge that the state could neither prevent nor fully punish. A dark chapter in Irish local history that still echoes in the region's collective memory. #WildgooseLodge #Ribbonmen #Orangemen #CountyLouth #PatrickDevan #SectarianViolence #19thCenturyIreland #ActOfUnion #PenalLaws #IrishHistory #Massacre #BalladTradition #LegalHistory #LocalHistory #History #FexingoHistory #Ireland #Terror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Irish Land War: Michael Davitt and the Battle for the Land

    The Irish Land War: Michael Davitt and the Battle for the Land
    2026/06/07
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Irish Land War of the 1870s and 1880s, a mass movement that challenged landlord power and reshaped rural Ireland. They focus on Michael Davitt, the son of evicted tenants who founded the Land League and championed the 'Three Fs' — fair rent, fixity of tenure, and free sale. The conversation covers the 1879 famine, the rise of the Land League, the tactics of boycotting named after Captain Charles Boycott, the 1881 Land Act, and the impact of the Phoenix Park murders. They also discuss the role of women in the Land League, the link between land reform and home rule, and the legacy of Davitt's vision of a democratic Ireland. This episode offers a focused look at a pivotal social revolution that paved the way for independence. #IrishLandWar #MichaelDavitt #LandLeague #ThreeFs #Boycott #CharlesBoycott #LandAct1881 #PhoenixParkMurders #HomeRule #IrishHistory #Famine #TenantRights #Landlordism #AnnaParnell #LadiesLandLeague #19thCentury #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
