I have always enjoyed going to castles. The world should never forget what these stood for. Don’t think of the people that lived in them but the people that built and took care of them. They stand for the heritage of the land they stand on. I have enjoyed this going back in time and learning what goes on behind the walls of each.
Many of these famine walls, and roads created to give the Irish work when they were starving. So many people died building these things because they just didn’t have the energy to build them and the wages were not good. Did she feed them? I just don’t understand why people would not feed people.
@@jgog59 British government went out of there way to not feed people. When people went to fish, they where shot dead by British soldier's, not giving them many options for food.
@@IrishMedievalHistory that’s why I was confused with the Famine walls. The film Arracht I thought dealt with it well it came out in 2021 I think. th-cam.com/video/jYmZ8mPrm5A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wGabZHO6gvSkFci3

@@fitzant the Desmond Fitzgerald's switch sides. The Kildare's where playing the game of Thrones, so it was far more complicated.
