Fantastic storytelling and beautifully delivered. Well done.
It's only since I have started watching your videos that I have realized how interesting Irish Medieval History actually is. It's true that when you hear Medieval history, Ireland isn't the place that comes to mind. Thanks for changing that.
Thanks so much man, 100% man. Irish Medeival history is amazing it really needs to come out.
@@IrishMedievalHistory Not exactly Irish in nature, but have you considered doing a video about Nesta? From what I have read so far her kids and relatives were definitely major players in Irish history from the Cambro- Norman side.
@@theluckyleprechaun Ya! I have a video talking a little on her, but your 100% right. a Video on her would be amazing!
I am thankful for your history of Ireland coming to life and into light. My shields ancestors from Armagh area suffered much at the hand of Cromwell . Brothers William and James were captured in battle, and sent to Barbados on a slave ship. They made their way to what is now Williamsburg and the families branches out.
One of their brothers , Daniel , was supposed to have died in battle in Ireland and the father , William, it is told, was sent to a reservation in western Ireland. The youngest brother , John, set sail for the American Colonies to join his family . He died at sea, but his family arrived in America. O e day I hope to go to Ireland and see where the Shields family lives and died. I owe them much.
God bless you in your work,
Eileen
Just visited trim castles this summer absolutely beautiful place
Thank you so much for this! Visiting Ireland for the first time.
Been to this castle before! Loved how it was used in the movie Braveheart but I guess the locals hate him there for what a wild man he was at their local bars and on set. If only he was more appreciative of the history! Awesome stuff as always! Congrats on being right at 1k!!
O! really? the locals I was talking to loved him. But your 100% right. Full on wild me. I see a good few people not liking that alright. I love Trim so much. Can't wait to get back up there again.
O! and thanks man. Am so happy to see it go up there. It just feels so magically to me.
This is the truth every time I start to like something it becomes popular or increasingly gets more popular.
Nice! Lets hope this gets bigger and bigger!
Nice video! The Abbey that's closeby has a pretty amazing history as well
Greetings from Alabama USA. I enjoy your vids. Love seeing some of the places in Ireland I visited.
Thanks so much for your support. It means so much.
Hey liked the video i visited trim castle back in september of 21 , wish i had more time
Thank you. Yes, it is an amazing castle with a ton of amazing history. Same. Me and my own wife where there for a short time before we had to move to Japan . Been there a good few times as a kid. But wish I could always put more time in.
Congrats on the 1,000 mate
Thanks man!!
Great video thanks.
De Lacy's here in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire too. Dam Normans get everywhere 😂
Haha they really did!! What a great and interesting era.
@Irish Medieval History it's fascinating. Liked your speech at the end about Irish history and it deserves more recognition....I've helped out from my end (or started to at least). Have you seen my Flainn Fhinna Mac Ossu video? It's only a start but is going to lead to much more......just realised I only called it that in the podcast not sure the vid is.....might change that.....anyway it's the Aldfrith vid.
@@stepthroughhistory Send on your podcast, I'll give you a call out on my video this week. Am looking forward to this!

Thank you that's amazing, I genuinely hope you like this. I'm a huge fan of Aldfrith and going to so much more on him.....I'll probably email you about that. Would love to chat/let you know where I'm going with it but probably best via email 😁
good job,keep it up.
Thanks so much!!
New sub, great channel.
Thanks so much man!
How about a video or series on Francisco de cueller* , the Spanish armada officer who wrote a tale of his irish experiences
We hear of Fitzgerald's or O'Connor's, but the vast majority for the last 850 probably lived in subjection, or on the run ?
Very interesting again, can you do something with the castles surrounding Dublin?
Which Castle are you thinking of? tons of amazing castles in Dublin. Even Dublin castle in deadly.
@Irish Medieval History Sword or Drimnagh ?
@@jeanette606 hahaha I used to live next to sword. I'll see what I can do once I have a few more projects done.
Thanks for the video. I've not gone to Trim, I'm a bit lazy in getting out there and seeing things.
Good luck the increased subscribers. Can't wait for you to tell us how great Raid Shadow Legends is..... 😆
I personally Can't wait to start buying more books.
@@IrishMedievalHistory That's a non denial on Raid Shadow Legends. 😂😂😂
@@TadeuszCantwell For money to buy book's no problems what so every. Plus I enjoy RPG games. Playing Elden Ring right now, so I've no problems with doing ad's for the greater good.
