Sobre IBD

The Diary of William King is a historical account of the experiences of William King during his imprisonment in Dublin Castle in the year 1689. King was an Irish bishop who was arrested by the English authorities for his opposition to their rule. During his imprisonment, he kept a diary in which he recorded his thoughts, feelings, and observations about his captivity and the political situation in Ireland at the time. The book, which was published in 1903, provides a unique insight into the life of a prisoner in Dublin Castle during the late 17th century. It also sheds light on the complex relationship between Ireland and England during this period, as well as the religious and political tensions that existed between the two nations. The diary is written in a straightforward and candid style, making it an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in Irish history or the history of political imprisonment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
