Hello and welcome to the Irish History Podcast.
podcast-host
My name is Finn Dwar.

Now, today's episode is a listener favourite, originally broadcast over two years ago.
podcast-host
And there's a somewhat unusual backstory as to why I'm reposting it today.
podcast-host
So I'm actually off sick at the moment with pneumonia.
podcast-host
I've been feeling a bit run down for the last few weeks, and to make a long story short, basically last week I ended up in hospital feeling like death warmed up.

And identified it as pneumonia, I was given a shot of penicillin and I immediately started to feel better.

It's an insight into what medieval life was really like with Dr.

Eileen Murphy.
podcast-host
And while it's a fascinating exploration of the medieval world, it also gives you an appreciation for.

podcast-host
Eileen Murphy.
podcast-host
She works in Queen's University Belfast.
podcast-host
Eileen is an archaeologist, and a few years ago she published her findings after she analyzed the remains of hundreds of bodies excavated from a graveyard at Ranla in County Ross Common.
podcast-host
She used the latest technology, including genetic analysis, and she was able to reconstruct what life was really like in the early Middle Ages, and it is pretty shocking.
