The Alexandria-Caen Sister Cities Committee invites you to a virtual lecture:
IRELAND AND THE FRENCH CONNECTION
Relations between Ireland and France date back to the fifth century, when the first apostle to the Irish (not St. Patrick!) was sent to Ireland from Gaul, but from the seventeenth century on, Ireland was a frequent battleground between France and her great rival, England. Historian Jennifer Paxton explores how Ireland played a crucial role in French power politics in the ages ofLouis XIV and Napoleon, and how Irish exiles in their turn contributed to the building of modern France
