Kenneth W. Nicholls, Irish academic and historian, is an Irish historian, notable for his work on the late medieval and early modern period; he was the subject of a festschrift in 2014.

Work

Nicholls worked at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies for a period during the 1960s. He was a member of staff of the history department in University College Cork until his retirement in 2004.[1] He came to national and international prominence as the author of Gaelic and Gaelicised Ireland in the Middle Ages, first published in 1972, and reprinted in 2003. He is particularly regarded among his peers for his deep knowledge of late medieval and early modern historical sources in Irish, Latin, French and English languages.

Nicholls' areas of professional interests include:

  • Late medieval and early modern Ireland, including topics such as genealogy, population studies, place-names, marriage, law, institutions
  • Scottish history, particularly legal and institutional
  • extinction of animals within historical times
  • agrarian history

Recognition

His work is honoured in the festschrift Regions and rulers in Ireland, 1100-1650: essays for Kenneth Nicholls (David Edwards, editor; Dublin, 2004), which is a collection of essays by several of the leading Irish historians of today.
