Talk:Kathleen Hughes (historian)

Hughes wasn't Irish
Kathleen Winifred Hughes wasn't Irish but English. She was born on September 8th, 1926 in Middlesbrough. Her interest in Irish history started with her PhD thesis about Finnian of Clonard. At that time she also traveled to Ireland and started to learn Old and Middle Irish. You will find all this in the cited book edited by Dorothy Whitelock et al: Ireland in Early Mediaeval Europe: Studies in Memory of Kathleen Hughes. --AFBorchert (talk) 21:32, 24 May 2008 (UTC) (author of the corresponding German language page about Kathleen Hughes)
