Reseña del libro "The Vesey Trail: From Normandy to Achill - Conquest, Castles, Rebellion and the Search for a Family (en Inglés)"
From Normandy to Achill, the Vesey Trail follows a name through conquest, castles, royal courts, rebellion and the tangled politics of medieval Britain and Ireland.Beginning with uncertain Norman origins, the series travels through the aftermath of 1066, the great northern stronghold of Alnwick, conflict on the Scottish border, the rule of kings and the struggle that produced Magna Carta. Along the way are princesses, bishops, barons, disputed inheritances, accusations of treason and enough family intrigue to keep even the most careful genealogist awake at night.The journey continues into Ireland, from the medieval lordship of Kildare to the Vesey families of County Mayo and Achill Island.Combining documented history, family tradition and genealogical investigation, the series asks whether the Veseys of Achill can be connected to the medieval de Vescis. It preserves the mystery without pretending that every missing generation has already been found.This is the story of a surname travelling through many lands and many spellings, from Normandy to Achill, with a remarkable number of castles, kings and troublesome relatives in between.
