| Norman Invasion of Ireland
England's dominance of Ireland and centuries of conflict were put in
train by the Anglo-Norman invasion of 1169, writes IrishAbroad's Douglas
Dalby. "Again again the soldiers came,
sacked our houses, stole our grain,
But they could not make us turn,
We are a river flowing,
We're a river flowing."
(Irish Ways and Irish Laws).
Perhaps the most surprising thing about the Norman invasion of Ireland is
that it took them more than 100 years for them to get around to it.
