+ | From Galway to Győr: the Irish presence | ||
+ | in the Hungarian Crownlands, c.1630 – c.1919. \\ | ||
+ | Declan M. Downey \\ | ||
+ | Abstract \\ | ||
+ | ‘Their embassies, he said, were everywhere | ||
+ | but operated independently | ||
+ | and no ambassador would ever be relieved.’ | ||
+ | These lines from Seamus Heaney’s poem, From the Republic of Conscience, | ||
+ | encapsulate so much of the experience and mentality of thousands of Irish émigrés. In | ||
+ | particular, they had a profound sense of their identity and of the obligation on them, | ||
+ | indeed the necessity for them to represent the best of their national spirit and culture | ||
+ | abroad. Characteristically, | ||
+ | themselves, and proved themselves as good and reliable citizens in their host | ||
+ | societies. While this was observed of the Irish diaspora in the USA, in Australia and | ||
+ | in Britain since the mid-nineteenth century, such qualities equally characterized | ||
+ | earlier generations of Irish émigrés to Continental Europe, and especially so in the | ||
+ | Habsburg realms of Spain, Austria, Hungary, Bohemia and Flanders from 1529 | ||
+ | onwards. This illustrated presentation will explore the centuries-old links between | ||
+ | Ireland and Hungary as represented by the experiences of Irish émigrés in the DonauMonarchie from the mid-seventeenth to the early-twentieth centuries. The factors that facilitated their success in integration and assimilation with their host society while | ||
+ | maintaining a sense of their own ancestral identity will be analysed, and hopefully | ||
+ | lessons for our own times may be learned. | ||
+ | |||
