If you yourself had benefitted from an education of the history of the British Isles which was not totally skewed, you might be aware of the following facts.

 

Irish Catholkics were forbidden from being educated under the terms of the delightful 'Penal Laws' imposed by Westminister and which also banned (among other things) the speaking of the Irish language and severely restricted land ownership by catholics, which led to the disaterous famine of 1845 to 1850 with the result that the poulation of Ireland was halved in those years (about four or five million people). Some of these laws were still in place until the latter part of the 19th century.

Many of the finest examples of writing and art to emerge from Western Europe following the fall of the Roman Empire are generally acknowledged by academics to come from Ireland. Most notably 'The Book of Kells' (cica 800). The English educators must have also been time travellers because there was not a comparable standard or volume of written work in England at that time - with the exception of a few works such as those done at Lindisfarne, which - like the Irish manuscripts - were produced by Celtic monks.
