Why did the Normans become such Gaelaboos in Ireland?
Why did the Normans become such Gaelaboos in Ireland?
what's a 'Gaelaboo'?
Common Celtic blood
More Irish than the Irish themselves
irrelevant but I just completed editing gondola into the book of kells and f5'd for an Irish thread
do you rike it?
unlike like the anglos, the Normans were respectable adversaries. One reason why they mixed was because they weren't a bunch of ignorant anglophones, they spoke French and had the decency to adopt the language of the country they moved to(also they weren't soulless protestants)
...
Irish law and society favoured decentralised authority, which was advantageous to the Norman noblemen wanting to establish themselves. You could either be Gaylord de Bumboy, 257th noname in the service of His Majesty the King, Lord of a small toolshed in Warwick city centre, Commander of three men-at-arms and an elderly dog named Jasper, married to basically whoever your dad tells you to marry, or you could be the mighty Geighlóridh Mac Bhumhbhoí, Earl of Desmond, Warchief of the Clan Mac Bhumhbhoí and their great host of Kerns and Gallowglasses, get yourself a qt Irish waifu and ally with other Gaelic nobles to ensure that you're the biggest dogs around.
>The Judge said ICSA members were unhappy and had to distance itself from comments Mr Reynolds posted on social media and comments about politicians and people in public life, using words like crooked and treason, as well as comments he made about the Church of Ireland.
why's he so perfect lads
They feared the Irish warrior
Good work laddo
If that wasn't part of a Monty Python or Blackadder sketch it should've been.
The Normans were disgusted with the anglos (refused to speak English and all the anglowomen ugly asfuck) so they relished with having the opptunity to ditch the england shithole and instead hang out with based Irish, speak a beatiful language(Irish) and finally find a good looking woman
bretty ebin
Should soften the lines a bit, the pixelly look stands out too much.
Ireland is the Japan of the West. with worse luck
They realised the superiority of Irish sports and culture. Anglos trying to force them to change their religion is what cemented them against England.
More like the Korea of the West
Decentralized monarchy with a powerful nobility
Surrounded by much more powerful neighbors
Populated by angry, clannish alcoholics
Persistent distinct cultural and linguistic identity from its neighbors
Aren't Japs also pretty big Gaelaboos? They seem to love putting aspects of Irish mythology into their animes and game etc.
The Japanese Empress apparently speaks basic Irish too
>they spoke French and had the decency to adopt the language of the country they moved to
Yes because we all know how quickly the Normans took to adopting English.
>refused to speak English
>happily spoke Gaelic
they had good taste
>Gaylord de Bumboy

>tfw norman-irish
