Dublin's history from the middle ages and early modern period is as gruesome and fascinating as they come. We see all the remaining sites of interest in the old town as well as hearing about Black Monday, the bubonic plague, how it affected Dublin and first hand accounts of what Dubliners thought of it, as well as finding the surprising location of one of Dublin's plague pits. Bloody and public executions were Dublin's main entertainment of the day, we see where they were committed and find out the peculiar medieval story of how "misery hill" got its name.
Red Hugh's epic escape is one of Dublin's most famous stories, hear this amazing tale from our history and see where it happened. Hidden Dublin strives to give our customers an understanding of the medieval Dubliners' mentalities using as many primary sources as possible. With bull baiting, leprosy and a bit of witchcraft and witch trials thrown in to the mix, this is one of Dublin's most fascinating periods of history.
