  • In the 12th century, Gaelic Ireland was made up of several over-kingdoms, which each comprised several lesser kingdoms. At the top was the High King, who received tribute from the other kings but did not rule Ireland as a unitary state, though it had a common culture and legal system. The five port towns of Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, and Limerick were inhabited by the Norse-Irish and had their own rulers.
    The Normans conquered England between 1066 and 1075, with all earldoms thereafter held by Normans, as were all bishoprics after 1096. In parallel, the Treaty of Abernethy created a limited settlement between the Norman conquerors and Scotland, with lands in Cumbria exchanged for peace. Over the following decades, Norman lords conquered much of south Wales and established their own semi-independent lordships there. According to historian John Gillingham, after the Norman conquest, an imperialist attitude emerged among England's new elite, and they came to view their Celtic neighbours as inferior and barbarous.

      What sort of Irish do you want to be?
      The modern Irish, whose identity is that of a papist Marxist with a hatred of the British and Protestantism?
      Or an Irishman such as in the time of Patrick, member of the native, non Romanist, Celtic church?

    I enjoyed this, Thank you for posting. I
    was going to say that these histories sometimes give a tunneled vision version of events focusing too much on the invaders and leaving out what was going on in the native world. However, he did touch on it here and there and at the end. He even goes so far to say the Normans never conquered which is interesting. I wonder if some would disagree but I like that he raises the issue.

    Was interested to learn that the Normans built a stronghold in Limavady. Does any remnant of the building survive?
    It sees to be a bit of a departure from the practice of only building on the coasts to allow re-supply by sea. Limavady is several miles inland.
