The Normans arrived in Ireland 1169 AD

The Normans were descendents of the Vikings and like the Vikings they loved to travel in their long ships Some Vikings moved to Northern France to a place called Normandy and they then became known as the Normans The Normans were powerful soldiers and skilled builders of castles

Ireland in 1166 Ireland was divided into many small kingdoms. Dermot McMurrough was King of Leinster and he was unpopular among the other kings. The other Kings decided to form an army against him. Dermot was so worried that he went to England to ask for help from King Henry. King Henry agreed to help and sent the Normans to help him .

The Agreement Strongbow Dermot Richard de Clare, also known as Strongbow, was a powerful Norman lord. He agreed to gather an army of Norman soldiers to help Dermot in return for: 1) Dermot daughter Aoife’s hand in marriage 2) That he would become the next King of Leinster

Normans Arrive- 1169

When the Normans arrived Dermot met them at Bannow Bay, Co. Wexford. Together they marched on and took over Wexford town, Waterford City and Dublin.

Norman Castles When the Normans captured an area they built castles for protection against the Irish First they built castles made of wood These were called motte and bailey castles Irish weather reference- rotting wood Danger of fire

Motte and Bailey Castles A keep (wooden house) was built on top of a small hill of earth- Motte The Bailey was an open space in front of the motte A wide ditch surrounded the motte and bailey. (moat) Servants , craftspeople, soldiers and farmers lived in the bailey There was also a garden and stables and sheds for animals.

Stone Castles Eventually the Normans began to build stone castles instead of motte and bailey castles. Can you think of any reasons why? Think about - Protection, weather in Ireland, risk of fire.

Stone Castles Trim Castle, Co Meath

Stone Castles Bunratty Castle, Co. Clare

Changes the Normans brought Farming They brought many farming ideas to Ireland which we still use today They divided the land into fields and rotated the crops they grew each year Wheat grown one year, oats the next They pioneered the making of hay by saving grass in the Summer and drying it. The Irish people knew nothing about this until the Normans came

Changes the Normans brought New towns built up around Norman castles, Trim, Drogheda, Dundalk. Trim, Co. Meath

Changes the Normans brought Many Irish names come from the Normans Surnames- Cusack, Fitzgerald, Roche, Fitzpatrick Christian names- Eileen, Eamon, James, Geraldine. Are any of these names in our class or school? By the end of the 1300, Normans controlled most of Ireland Most had intermarried and became just like the Irish people
