This video covers two locations associated with the Knights Hospitallers in County Kildare Ireland. The organisation was a pan-European military order of "warrior monks" who's mission was to defend the faith of Christ. In Ireland it seemed they were more an extension of military power of the English, under Royal control rather than Papal. What do you think? Your comments on this would be welcome.
Also note for those unfamiliar with Ireland, many Irish place names have the word "kill" before them. In Gaelic or Irish was once "Cill" which means church, but the word was Angelized to "Kill" over the centuries.

Greetings from Ireland! Welcome to my channel, that is dedicated to the history and culture of Ireland.This is not set out to be a history lesson, but a ramble through some stories you might find interesting about Ireland from an Irishman! Ireland has so many connections throughout the world from the emigration from this country over so many centuries, but those with Irish blood in their families always have a yearning to know more about their "old country", this is my attempt to bring some of the history and culture they left behind. So if you fancy some tales about horsemen and highwaymen, banshee's and fairies, soldiers and rebels, legends and folklore, saints and scholars, please like and subscribe, I post once per month. Thank you for watching. Ronan.
