Nicholas Crane attempts to find out why Elizabethans feared Ireland.

Nicholas Crane rediscovers William Camden's Britannia on an epic 5,000 mile hike, battling the elements to find out why Elizabethans feared Ireland so much.

In the last leg of his epic 5,000 mile journey across the pages of William Camden's 'lost' masterpiece Britannia, Nicholas traverses Ireland, the country that sent a shudder down the spines of Elizabethans. The Queen said that Ireland was full of 'ravening beasts'. It was impossible to govern, but could not be ignored because the Spanish might use it to launch an attack on Britain. Nicholas sets off to discover why the Emerald Isle terrified the Elizabethans and how Camden tried to tame it.
