Excellent documentary! Clear and enlightening presentation. The British are superb at 'mining' their history to produce culturally important work and extend their 'soft power' and influence. It is heartening to see that an Irish film producer is aware of the vast cultural potential of Irish history and also has the skills to professionally produce and present such high quality material in such an effective manner. Outstanding work!
I think a point that needs to be highlighted is that the Normans were allies with the men of Leinster. The north man had become very powerful and influential in regard to the trade that they controlled in Leinster. If you take it from Dermot McMorrows point of view, he was in coalition /partnership with the Normans to retake Leinster. Which they did. So you could say that this Irish and Norman coalition was quite successful. The Normans would have worked together with the Irish allies and would have planned the attack, so it should not seem as a coincidence that the attacked when the high king was at his most vulnerable. To put it into a nutshell once it is stated that the Normans won a factory, it should be rephrased as the Irish and the Normans.
Well done! I enjoyed that. Love that time period after William became king of England then the consolidation of his heirs expanding their holdings. Such a pivotal time in Ireland. Just like the Romans if the English ever came in to your lands invited or not you couldn't get rid of em!
The Irish stood no chance against the vastly more experienced Norman war machine. Sadly, the Kings of Ireland had already sold out to Rome, sewing the seeds of it's own destruction centuries before the Vikings and Normans arrived...
The Irish clans are still unbeaten. these stories of lesser developed cultures somehow beating Irish people in combat are funny and all of us know they are made up because the roman religious cult paid upper class to allow them control of society slowly over time with no combat, no roman army could beat or did invaded the Irish on both Irish islands. The roman cath/prot religious cult didn't know DNA would be discovered and it shows no evidence to support norman or roman or anglo etc armies invading and supposedly beating Irish people in combat. You even admit that the upper class sold out/got paid off to allow "Rome" in which really means small amounts of people like ratzinger or Pell were allowed into society, not "Rome" whatever tf such cowardly vagueness was supposed to mean. Irish DNA advanced and started european cultures and they all know this. History books are fake since the upper class allowed bishops/priests control of society. Everybody knows the religious cult said everyone 'outside them was barbarian and they were superior' and everybody knows that roman armies are the most failing, retreating, paying their way out of capture, losing armies ever. Nobody can believe your first sentence there "The Irish stood no chance against the vastly more experienced.... " The romans couldn't believe how courages and daring Irish were, they couldn't believe the Gaul of them. The Irish brought all the things people use to the european continent a long time ago. All farming tools, weaponry, boats, carpentry knowledge etc developed from the Irish long before these scandinivians that are referred to as boring, dull, empty by roman cath/prot media came into existence. This is helping Irish people to know how superior they were without a religious cult in control of them. keep it up middle class person.

The religious cult is still doing the same with indian people placed into puppet politician positions in london and pm and taoiseach and they can say in a few hundred years time that indian armies invaded and conquered.
@@user-yp3oj5se1i That's a novel take on the situation, but it might be worth remembering that not only the Irish, but all Christians at that time were of the original faith that we now know as Catholic, especially the Normans; and that remained the case until 350 years later, when Henry VIII wanted to get a divorce and founded the Church of England in order to facilitate it. The Crusades in the Holy Land began in 1095, proclaimed by the Pope in Rome, and the Normans were in the thick of it.
