The Irish Kennedys have a recorded history that goes back over 1,000 years to the time when the first Kennedy led his people from the front with sword and spear. The Kennedys held their ancestral lands in Tipperary for hundreds of years while a succession of English conquerors tried to take it from them. Although they eventually succeeded in taking the lands, the English did not do so without fierce resistance from the family they dubbed "The Rebellious O'Kennedys."

The Irish Kennedys – The Story of the Rebellious O’Kennedys traces the story of the Kennedy family from their beginnings as an obscure sept on the banks of the Shannon River, through their rise to fame as the "Lords of Ormond", to their decline as the last of the Gaelic Chieftans and to their dispersal around the world.
