📚📖 from: "The Cause Of Ireland" by Liz Curtis, pg.224

Intellect ties people in knots and risks nothing, but love dissolves all tangles and risks everything.

Intellect does not easily break down, whereas love can effortlessly reduce itself to rubble.
But treasures are hidden among ruins.

Page from a late 16th century manunoscript, depicting an armored cavalryman of the Anglo-Irish Burke clan of northwest Connacht (i.e. Mayo). 🇮🇪

The Burke family were descended from William de Burgh, who was the brother of Hubert de Burgh, the English Earl of Kent. William participated in the Norman invasions of Ireland, arriving in the island in the year 1185 and conquering the greater part of Connacht before his death in 1206. De Burgh took the noscript Lord of Connacht, and his descendants eventually also obtained the noscript of Earl of Ulster, but they eventually lost a great many of their holdings in Connacht to the resurgent native dynasties of the province. From the very beginning, the De Burgh’s intermarried with the native Irish, eventually becoming thoroughly assimilated to Gaelic culture, so much so that there are documented cases of Burke lords who didn’t even speak English.
