Description: The Norman invasion of Britain, as depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry, is well known, but the later invasion of Ireland is much less well documented. This book describes how Ireland was invaded and settled by the French-speaking Normans from north-west France, whose language and culture had already come to dominate most of Britain.
Brief description: Richard Lomas was a Lecturer in History at Durham University, now retired. He is the author of The Fall of the House of Percy (2006) and A Power in the Land: The Percys (1999).
Review Quotes: "[A]n extraordinary work of meticulous research. Exceptional in organization and presentation, The Normans in Ireland is a welcome and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, community, and academic library Medieval French, English, and Irish History collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists."-- "Midwest Book Review"
