true enough. We could war, and kill and murder as well as any European civilisation.

Excellent and interesting summary. A couple of things jump out - that Ireland was a warlike place (just like the rest of the world at the time) and that the use of foreign mercenaries, regardless of their origin, was widespread. Then, one day, some of them arrived in Bannow Bay and the rest is history.

Just a thought - would Irelands history have been any different if the Welsh-Normans that were invited by McMurrough had been defeated?

doubt it, we might have staved it off for a hundred years r so, henry was busy in france but sooner or later their eye would have turned west.
