- The Fightback
As the Irish clans began to fight back against the Anglo-Norman settlers in the 15th and 16th centuries, tower houses were built for both defense and as family homes.
Simon Delaney details the change in politics of Ireland, where the Irish clans begin to fight back against the Anglo Norman settlers. Throughout the 15th and 16th centuries, a new type of castle emerges, the tower house, built for both defence and as family home. Within a few years over 3000 tower houses dotted the landscape. The episode documents the haunted castle in Leap... the first castle to be besieged by cannon fire in Maynooth... the love story of Dunluce and Clonony Castle in the midlands, home to an American dancer and resting place of Ann Boleyn's two sisters, Henry VIII's two sisters in law.
Really enjoying this series as these real documentaries are a lot better than all the AI slop on UA-cam these days. Thanks for uploading.
Glad you enjoy it! And yes, I can't stand the AI garbage as well. It's all lies.

Fantastic production. Thank you!

@@CodeNameGameShark damn! Thank you so much!
"Ireland experienced its first ever building boom."
Imagine the horror of watching as foreign interests, aided and abetted by the native ruling class, hoover up land for their own building projects. Thank God that things like that don't happen anymore...
Maybe some info about how those stone & brick structures were financed, then a crew formed for construction?
The Norman's were stopped in Ireland and rolled back. The only place outside the byzantine empire to do so.
Well, it took 800 years, but I guess so.
We also Stopped the Romans
It depends what you mean by “The Normans were stopped”.
I am Irish, of Norman decent, and we know many Normans actually took on the Irish way of life and traditions and the families are still there today!
@@malicant123 No it didn't take 800 years -there was a Gaelic resurgence long before the Tudor conquests and most so-called "Normans" (which is an unhistorical term in the case of Ireland) were Gaelicized. This "grand narrative" approach to Irish history where completely unrelated events are packaged together as part of a multi-century episode of oppression doesn't work. In fact, the English never had full authority over the whole of Ireland until the Tudor conquest.
@@rivermoon6190 Who isn't of "Norman" descent in Ireland?
Great documentary guy in the pink sweater is a weirdo though
