#OTD in 1754 – Birth of Dr. William Drennan in Belfast; physician, poet, educationalist political radical and one of the chief architects of the Society of United Irishmen.

William Drennan’s poetic output included some powerful and moving pieces. He is chiefly remembered today for “Erin” written in 1800, in which he penned the first reference in print to Ireland as “The Emerald Isle”: “Nor one feeling of vengeance presume to defile The cause, or the men, of the Emerald Isle.” Drennan came to national attention with the publication in 1784 and 1785 of his Letters of…

WHY IS THE EMERALD ISLE CALLED THE EMERALD ISLE

In school I was taught that the first reference to the Emerald Isle, in print, was ‘When Erin First Rose’ by Irish poet William Drennan (1754-1820)

DO YOU KNOW WHY Back in the late 1970s I lived in Santa Clara in California and it was on my return home that I immediately understood why Ireland is referred to as the Emerald Isle. My memory of that return home was reinforced when I visited the lily pond area in the Botanic Gardens. In school I was taught that the first reference to the Emerald Isle, in print, was ‘When Erin First Rose’ by…

13 and 3 for the ask game, perhaps??

3. What tropes do you like writing about the most? (´▽`ʃƪ)

That's honestly a good question, now that I look over my works, both original and fic. I think the thing that crops up the most in both sections is legacy - legacy characters, roles and how we all deal with it and inherit it. I think it really comes from my own experience of being the first freeborn daughter of two different families who escaped Communist Romania prior to the revolution, and the struggles they had to get their freedom. It gives me a lot to think on family legacy in my case, both ancestral and more personal, as I have found myself associating with my mom's inheritance more than I could my dad's.

In the Eagle's Cross Eddsworld universe, Cora and her siblings in the titular series have different ways of reacting to and embracing their ancestors' adventurous, if admittedly outlandish, histories and personalities. In 'The Christmas Calamity,' Jaxx (one of the main characters) is first trying to outright refuse it, but eventually comes to fall in love with it on his own terms and terms he has to redefine. Cora herself in 'The Eagle's Cross' has still to unravel some (honestly very opaque) mysterious past with her ancestors and dragging in her little sister and her own best friend into it.

In my own original detective show, the main detective and her 'Watson' partner are chasing after her hero's own mysteries to solve and eventually have to come up and fight against his enemies; leading the way to find out that her hero's adventures, mysteries and stories entwine closely to her own history and potentially taking up the mantle he sacrificed to save her life.

With Maddox Darling and his adventures in the Galaxy Far Far Away, it's more subtle. The Peter Pan references and links are on purpose, but they're not direct or in-your-face (his surname, the pin he constantly wears from his sister, etc). That being said, while he does have Peter Pan tendencies, his role is more of a Wendy Darling situation, honestly. He'll grow up eventually, but it doesn't mean he'll forget his loves nor stop adventuring. His legacy is more about what he leaves behind on the galaxy's inhabitants circa the Imperial and Rebellion era, but also the kind of legacy they leave on him and how he'll eventually take it home. That's why I love doing RP with him, because he's literally quite a character to Throw Into Situations and I'm figuring out his canon as I go along.

13. Drop a playlist for a story! ♪♡♪

Speaking of Maddox, here's his (slightly old) origin story playlist! I'd crafted it when I was very early on in writing him and did it as part of a character challenge to develop him a little more, so I'll be explaining songs in chapters under the cut.

What's the biography of Drennan that you're going to read called? I've been wanting to read one on him and it sounds promising

I am afraid that the biography is only available in German:

Lahme, Jörg: William Drennan und der Kampf um die irische Unabhängigkeit. Eine politische Biographie, Göttingen 2012.

The title translates to William Drennan and the Fight for Irish Independence. A Political Biography, and I have read the first few chapters and am so far quite pleased with the level of detail the author affords to setting the scene of Drennan's familial ties and early years.

I was in luck and got it (contrary to the price on the publisher's website) brand new for about 3-5 Euro from a discount bookseller specialising in liquidation/surplus stock sometime early last year, I think.

If I recall correctly, Lahme's biography of Brennan was not initially a book project (it's his doctoral thesis, in fact) in that he never intended to publish it, and I would say that that shows a little bit in the structure, which however is not a point of critique.

Sadly, there seems not to be enough of a market for the history of 1798 and in particular its lesser-known participants (everyone knows Tone and FitzGerald; how many people, alas, know Drennan?), which explains why Lahme's biography of Drennan has so far not been translated, which is a shame, seeing as Lahme appears to have done a lot of legwork digging for personal documents by and relating to Drennan in several archives, that I am sure have never been referenced before.

In case you are interested, I could try and post a few quotes from the book in the future (translated of course).

I am, &c.

When Erin First Rose Poem by William Drennan

When Erin first rose from the dark swelling flood, God bless'd the green island and saw it was good; The em'rald of Europe, it sparkled and shone, In the ring of the world the most precious stone. In her sun, in her soil, in her station thrice blest, With her back towards Britain, her face to the West, Erin stands proudly insular, on her steep shore, And strikes her high harp 'mid the ocean's deep roar. But when its soft tones seem to mourn and to weep, The dark chain of silence is thrown o'er the deep; At the thought of the past the tears gush from her eyes, And the pulse of her heart makes her white bosom rise. O! sons of green Erin, lament o'er the time When religion was war, and our country a crime, When man in God's image inverted his plan, And moulded his God in the image of man. When the int'rest of state wrought the general woe, The stranger a friend, and the native a foe; While the mother rejoic'd o'er her children oppressed, And clasp'd the invader more close to her breast. When with pale for the body and pale for the soul, Church and state joined in compact to conquer the whole; And as Shannon was stained with Milesian blood, Ey'd each other askance and pronounced it was good. By the groans that ascend from your forefathers' grave For their country thus left to the brute and the slave, Drive the demon of bigotry home to his den, And where Britain made brutes now let Erin make men. Let my sons like the leaves of the shamrock unite, A partition of sects from one footstalk of right, Give each his full share of the earth and the sky, Nor fatten the slave where the serpent would die. Alas! for poor Erin that some are still seen, Who would dye the grass red from their hatred to green; Yet, oh! when you're up, and they're down, let them live, Then yield them that mercy which they would not give. Arm of Erin, be strong! but be gentle as brave; And uplifted to strike, be still ready to save; Let no feeling of vengeance presume to defile The cause of, or men of, the Emerald Isle. The cause it is good, and the men they are true, And the Green shall outlive both the Orange and Blue. And the triumphs of Erin her daughters shall share With the full swelling chest, and the fair flowing hair. Their bosoms heave high for the worthy and brave, But no coward shall rest in that soft-swelling wave; Men of Erin! awake, and make haste to be blest! Rise! arch of the ocean, and queen of the West!

#OTD in Irish History | 23 May:

1561 – The first court of High Commission, a group of officials and Protestant clergy, is set up to enforce the Reformation in Ireland. 1754 – Birth of Dr. William Drennan in Belfast; physician, poet, educationalist political radical and one of the chief architects of the Society of United Irishmen. Drennan’s poetic output included some powerful and moving pieces. He is chiefly remembered today…

[werewolfetone]

One of the top ten funniest moments in radical history of the British Isles in the late 18th century has to be when the Scottish republicans were having a convention & were like "we need an Irish guy here for diversity of opinion. Thomas Muir go to Ireland and get an Irish guy." so Thomas Muir went and came back with William Drennan, who wrote several poems that were like "FUCK ENGLAND FUCK THE KING I LOVE FRANCE FUCK ENGLAND REBEL REBEL REBEL." and Thomas Muir was like FUCK yes I love your political views but when he showed the poems to the people at the convention they were so terrified of Drennan's wildly radical poetry that they kicked Drennan & Muir out and then dissolved the convention. rip

[werewolfetone]

I would also like a formal inquiry into why nearly every single goddamn person involved with late 18thc British radicalism seems to have been called either William or Thomas

why must every single person in 18th century America have the same goddamn name.

Céad Mhíle Fáilte agus Hello Friends

Welcome to my inaugural post here at @irishhistorynerd.

I thought, what better place to start this blog than with Ireland herself, and all of her other names. So indulge me as I show you all the etymology and meaning behind the wonderful names of Ireland.

Starting with the most known,

Ireland: Ireland is made of two parts, 'ire' and 'land.' Ire doesn't come from the english word ire, meaning anger, but the Irish name for the country being Éire (Air-ah). The last three letters were taken and land was added to the end, making Ireland.

But where does Éire come from? Well that'd be from the Old Irish word Ériu, the matron goddess of the land of Ireland.

Éirinn and Éireann are both grammatical forms of Éire.

Erin originates from Éirinn and is notable for being a common poetic way to refer to Ireland. They personified Ireland as a beautiful woman named Erin in their poetry and songs.

Hibernia is another name used for personifying Ireland. The name is the Latin word for Ireland. It comes from the Roman Historians's Tacitus' book 'Agricola.' While Hibernia isn't much used as a name for Ireland anymore, its compound form is more commonly used to mean Ireland or Irish, e.g. Hiberno-English means the Irish dialect of english.

The Emerlad Isle, a common epithet for Ireland, first shows up in print in the 1795 poem by William Drennan, 'When Erin First Rose.' It references the beautiful green fields of the Irish countryside.

The Land of Saints and Scholars is another common epithet. Which goes to show the magnitude of influence the catholic church had on ireland. One of the most famous saints in the world, Saint Patrick, is the patron saint of ireland and is mythologically responsible for converting a large nu,ber of people to catholicism and driving evil (the snakes) away from the land. Our scholars date back to the dark ages, where monks would work tirelessly to transcribe copies of text in an age where literacy was at a shocking low. Our tradition of scholars continued on for centuries, with the monks being replaced by great writers and poets such as Padraig Pearse, W. B. Yeats, and James Joyce.

So there we go! the most common names for Éire and her land. I hope you enjoyed! Feel free to follow for more fun Irish knowledge.

And of course I'm only human, if I made any many mistakes please let me know so I can fix them as soon as possible.

Evolve 94, October 14, 2017 (Queens, NY)

At a time when the company faced a public relations and a business crisis after its relationship with FloSlam dissolved amid acrimonious accusations of fraud and eventual consolidation under the WWE banner, Evolve needed a killer show and a hot crowd more than ever. Though Evolve 93 in Summit, Illinois, had some great matches and a heated encounter between Matt Riddle and Keith Lee, it was up to the dependable crowd at La Boom in Queens, NY to ensure that Evolve would maintain its momentum despite its business troubles.

At first, I was concerned because the crowd seemed smaller than past crowds at La Boom. I was crammed into the second row on B side; while it was certainly close to the action, I ended up seeing a lot more of the camera operators and photographer than I would have wanted. Also, because the B side seats are crammed between the barricade and one of La Boom’s platforms, there wasn’t much wiggle room, especially after the late-arriving fans who occupied the first row finally arrived to my ambivalence. On one hand, I hate being captured on camera, so I was glad to have a human shield between the cameras and me. On the other hand, I hated losing the leg room that their absence provided. 

1. Dominic Garrini w/Stokely Hathaway vs. Rayo

The show began with Catch Point out in force in the ring. Catch Point’s manager, Stokely Hathaway, introduced Garrini, his new bodyguard and the latest addition to Catch Point. He then introduces Rayo, and Garrini quickly disposes of Rayo with a running knee, a spinebuster, and a kimura lock. Scheduling Garrini for a quick squash makes for an easy introduction, but it’s hard to stand out when the show is full of larger men laying waste to everyone in their path. 

2. Chris Dickinson w/Stokely Hathaway vs. Jason Kincaid

Since Catch Point was still out there, the second match can also get started. Compared to last time, Kincaid received a much warmer reaction, and Kincaid seems more focused, and his offense seemed cleaner and tighter, even though his shiranui is still noticeably slow. Maybe it was intentionally slow since it came so late into the match, but compared to Spanky/Brian Kendrick’s Sliced Bread #2 or Naomichi Marufuji’s shiranui, Kincaid’s seemed more methodical and stiff. The aforementioned late-arriving fans worked really hard to get Hathaway’s attention from the moment they arrived, so at least they entertained themselves and Hathaway. Dickinson didn’t get the reaction that he usually gets from the La Boom crowd, and I wonder if it’s due to his match’s low placement on the card. However, for an undercard match that was effectively the opener, this was really well paced, with momentum swinging from Kincaid and Dickinson in believable ways as Dickinson used his power and Kincaid used his unorthodox movement and offense. I couldn’t believe that Kincaid busted out a Coast to Coast dropkick in the nominal second match on the card. I also couldn’t believe that La Boom had its Halloween decorations up and that the wrestlers insisted on using the corner where there were decorations within grasp for their top rope moves throughout the show starting with a superplex in this match. Dickinson countered Kincaid’s shiranui into an Oklahoma Stampeded and hit the Pazuzu Bomb onto a turnbuckle to finish Kincaid. This was a hot little undercard match, perfectly placed to excite the crowd.

After the match, obnoxiously loud music played as “The End” flared on La Boom’s video screens. Odinson, Parrow, and Drennan who team together in FIP, assaulted Dickinson and Kincaid and returned backstage. Drennan looked like he was pretending to be Jimmy Jacobs circa The Age of the Fall. Referees came out to help Dickinson and Kincaid to the back, and the two sold the violence that The End unleashed on them very well. Dickinson was on my side of the ring, and he looked like he was concentrating very hard to appear incapacitated by The End’s attack. 

However, the logic of the story gets stretched, as you’ll see later.

3. Austin Theory w/Priscilla Kelly vs. Brandon Watts

Brandon Watts is, judging by the reaction he got from the guys in front of me, a wrestler from the Bronx. Though Theory is younger and has fewer matches in his history than Watts, Theory treats Watts with disrespect because Theory is full of himself thanks to his short winning streak after losing to Mark Haskins at Evolve 91. Theory used his height and speed advantage over Watts to stay ahead, but Watts would scrap and claw at any opportunity to try to pin Theory, which made what should have been an extended squash surprisingly engaging. The match itself could have gone for another minute or two, but Watts and Theory worked to tell the story of a journeyman wrestler sneaking up on a conceited, younger, more gifted wrestler well. Theory countered a victory roll into a wheelbarrow half nelson backbreaker to set up his Theory-KO to win the match. Watts gained a lot from the match, even if we never see him again in Evolve. However, I wouldn’t mind seeing what else Watts can do when Evolve is back in NYC.

After the match, The End reemerged and Theory pushed Watts into their way so he and Priscilla Kelly could escape. They left, and referees recovered Watts. If you think too deeply about wrestling like I do, you can see the escalation from one segment to another. In the first, The End ambushed Dickinson and Kincaid, catching Catch Point off guard so they couldn’t rescue Dickinson. Furthermore, because the rest of Catch Point is driven by their own self interests, they wouldn’t want to jeopardize their matches later by interfering with The End’s rampage. However, there’s only one entrance at La Boom for wrestlers, so logically everyone is mingling in the same space backstage. Are they invaders? If so, why wouldn’t the referees try to prevent Odinson, Parrow, and Drennan from getting to the ring? 

4. Darby Allin vs. Jarek 1:20

Jarek 1:20 says, “I’m going to get compared to Chris Hero until I cut my hair.” Jarek’s street magician/illusionist/escape artist gimmick caused at least one fan to yell, “A trick is what a whore does for money...or cocaine!” Of course, he actually is a street magician turned professional wrestler, which makes just as much sense as a skateboarder to become a professional wrestler. Jarek is a one-note character who announces that he’s an escape artist every time he is able to counter or escape a wrestling hold, but it’s entertaining enough for now that I would, for example, enjoy seeing Jarek come up against serious wrestlers who can balance comedy like Fred Yehi or even Zack Sabre Jr. Jarek couldn’t escape Allin’s dangerous tope suicida, but he did inspire a “Holy shit!’ chant when he superkicked Allin as Allin was diving from La Boom’s stage to the ring, causing Allin to crash back into the stage and on to the floor in an ugly spill. Staying outside the ring, Jarek hit a flagpole elbow off the ringpost like Matt Cross would in days past, and he was able to keep up with Allin hold for hold inside the ring. Just as the match was building, it comes to a sudden end with Allin locking Jarek in the Last Supper to pin him for the victory. Jarek was more entertaining than I thought he would be, but I don’t have high hopes for his self life. Allin continues to impress with his wildness, and he seems to be finding a balance between his high risk flash and the wrestling acumen that he picked up from his feud with Catch Point and Timothy Thatcher. 

After the match, Jarek conspicuously disappears as the crowd yells for Allin to leave the ring as soon as he could. However, he stayed to fight The End, ambushing Odinson and Parrow with the Coffin Drop. Unfortunately, Parrow caught him and powerbombed him on to some chairs on the stage. The name of the game is escalation as security guards and referees tried to stop The End this time, but they fell to Odinson and Parrow’s power. They finished their rampage with a Doomsday Device on a defenseless Allin. 

5. Tracy Williams w/Stokely Hathaway and Dominic Garrini vs. Fred Yehi

Rather sensibly, Hathaway positioned Garrini by the ring entrance to try to prevent from assaulting him or his prized jewel of Catch Point, “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams. This was the first match between Williams and Yehi since Yehi split from Catch Point, so this was a lowkey important match for both men. I really enjoyed that the two men knew each other so well that the reversals and escapes throughout the match felt natural and expected, but there was a depth of emotion missing from the first match between former partners after a bitter break-up. The technical side of the match was great, and Yehi was able to modify his usual shtick enough to keep it fresh. Williams was also very good, hitting hard as usual and moving with determination and urgency in the match. However, I didn’t feel an emotional engagement from either man, and the finish was disappointing. Hathaway climbed to the apron to distract the referee, which caught Yehi’s attention. Garrini stepped between Yehi and Hathaway, which allowed Williams to whip the rope into Yehi’s throat. Williams hit a lariat and forced Yehi to pass out with a guillotine choke. The usually reliable La Boom crowd seemed subdued, and I think that they sensed the lack of emotion from Yehi and Williams as well.

After the match, Jaka demanded that Odinson, Parrow, and Drennan appear to answer for their attack on his partner, Chris Dickinson. Williams and Garrini seemed upset by Jaka’s impulsiveness potentially earning them a beatdown from the intimidating group, but Jaka seemed to be browbeating them into agreeing to stand by him. However, they didn’t answer Jaka’s challenge. Instead, Zack Sabre Jr. emerged from the back.

6. Jaka w/Tracy Williams and Stokely Hathaway vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

Near the start of the match, the fans in front of me kept nagging Tracy Williams to share some of his bottle of water with them. With maybe a sip left in the bottle, he finally gave it to them to their delight and my mild disgust. Meanwhile, Hathaway admonished me for starting a “Fuck him up, Sabre, fuck him up” chant because, in his words, the show “was PG.” 

Jaka and Sabre’s match at Evolve 87 was a launching pad for Jaka, so hopes were high for their rematch. They confront each other before the opening bell, and shoving and jaw-jacking gives way to chops, stomps, and some light choking from Jaka. Sabre recovered and hit a nasty penalty kick from the apron and targeted Jaka’s leg. Sabre was as wonderful as ever, mixing in strikes and submission holds with an intensity and viciousness to make everything compelling. After the show, I would approach Sabre to 1) buy a shirt from him and 2) tell him that, to me, he is the best wrestler in the world. He received my praise with great humility, and he is a big reason why I continue to support Evolve. 

Jaka baited Sabre into his kind of match; even as Sabre was able to reverse Jaka into submission holds, Jaka would power through and either force Sabre into letting the holds go with strikes or position himself close enough to the ropes to force Sabre to break the hold. Back on offense, Jaka would force Sabre into strike exchanges; while Sabre can hit as hard as anyone, he simply couldn’t absorb damage like Jaka. To my surprise, Jaka took Sabre’s best strikes, hit a spinning wheel kick, and pinned Sabre after a sitout powerbomb. 

When paired with strikers, Sabre is able to show a little more viciousness than usual in order to keep up with bigger, stronger, heavier hitting opponents, and Sabre and Jaka projected intensity very nicely. After the match, Hathaway’s joy and Sabre’s shock and disappointment told the tale of how big a victory this was for Jaka’s career even though he’s one half of the Evolve Tag Team Champions. 

After the match, Jaka left to celebrate with the rest of Catch Point while Sabre contemplated what happened. The fans were yelling at Sabre to get out of the ring before The End attacked, but instead of the brawny men, we got the gaunt Priscilla Kelly. Sabre was uninterested in Kelly, who ran her finger down his chest to signal that Theory would be challenging Sabre for the Evolve championship soon. 

7. WWN Championship Last Man Standing match: Matt Riddle (c) vs. Keith Lee

In a first, Evolve actually used the video screens at La Boom to air the mini-doc about their feud before the match to build anticipation for their main event. I give Evolve credit for trying, even though the video wasn’t the right size for the screens. Riddle just barely escaped with the title after their match at Evolve 87, and the sense of anticipation in the crowd was high. It seems ridiculous to say this about a show attended by no more than 500 people, but this match had a big fight feel. 

Riddle and Lee hit each other with their biggest moves at the start of the match to set the tone. Strikes, suplexes, the Bro 2 Sleep, and the Spirit Bomb were all unleashed within the first five minutes of the match to establish that they these two were going to hit each other until one man could no longer get back up. Because La Boom is so snug, the two had to keep most of the action inside the ring. Lee and Riddle hit the Halloween decorations hanging from the ceiling while suplexing each other, and you could see that Lee was considering tearing the decoration down to use against Riddle. Of course, that probably would have cost Evolve the ability to use La Boom as a venue ever again, which would have been unfortunate since La Boom is Evolve’s most consistently excited venue. 

It would be pointless to try to recount the mad barrage of offense, so suffice it to say that I despaired almost every time it looked like Lee wouldn’t get up to answer the ten count, that I bought Riddle’s frustration that Lee refused to stay down, that I led as many chants for Lee as my voice would allow, and that I cheered as loudly as I could when Lee got up at 9 after a Spirit Bomb from the second rope put Riddle down for a 10 count. I really appreciated that both men stayed aggressive through the match because they knew that not one particular move would be enough to put the other man down. Instead, they had to chain their most devastating offense together to try to press the attack and buy 10 seconds. It was the best laid out Last Man Standing match I’ve seen in some time. 

I was a little disappointed that Riddle didn’t stay to hand Lee the belt, but the crowd more than made up for his absence by cheering for Lee. Lee asked for a microphone to address the crowd, starting with a simple and quiet, “Ouch.” Kneeling because the couldn’t stand after the intense match, Lee thanked the crowd on behalf of Evolve and bid them to continue to bask in his glory.

It’s too bad that the next show is back at the Elmcor Center because the two best matches at Evolve 94 played off of matches at Evolve 87, whereas there isn’t as much material to mine from Evolve 91, the last show at the Elmcor Center, because it was the crossover show with PROGRESS. Furthermore, the Elmcor Center seems too big for Evolve to run effectively at this point, and I’d hate to see Evolve in another poorly lit venue with a crowd that can’t show its excitement because it’s too spread out and ineffectually recorded. I understand that La Boom is small and that it won’t always be available because it is a functioning night club, but I wish that Evolve would only run at La Boom because that is the company’s best venue. 

As for Evolve 94, the best matches were Riddle vs. Lee and Jaka vs. Sabre, but the rest of the show moved well enough that it was a really enjoyable experience.

I should finish this literature review on historic house museums so that I can then finish my paper on Wolfe Tone and William Drennan, but instead I'm working on fic and looking for distractions.

...anyway, if you're bored this evening, say hello, I need something to break up my messy brain function. There's a good chance I'll start dumping random brain trash on my blog tonight if I can't sort myself out or find little things to focus on in between the big thing I need to focus on. I'm kind of sorry, but also ... I'm trapped in a house with one person who has had too much to drink and one person with very advanced dementia, and they're my parents, and I stopped leaving my house a good 9 months before the pandemic even started, so it's no wonder I'm cracking.
