Anglo-Irish

Historical Overview Section

The Normans in Ireland, or Hiberno-Normans, were a group of Normans who invaded the various realms of Gaelic Ireland. They arrived from the Kingdom of England and Wales from the 12th century onwards and established themselves as a feudal aristocracy and merchant oligarchy in the Lordship of Ireland which existed throughout the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages. They can in many ways be seen as a branch of the Normans in England and Wales. Most of the Normans eventually became Gaelicised, especially in the Munster with Cork as the Norman capital proven statistically by the dominance of French names and linguistics.

Using the army in ADLG

  • It can be quite a big army, with some unusual troop types for this period.
  • Longbows have an extra edge against most enemy cavalry
  • An Irish ally gives a lot of Medium Foot swordsmen, which can almost certainly outmatch most things in the Feudal and Medieval periods in terrain
  • The Kern Javelinmen are allowed in sufficient numbers such that you can be unafraid of elephant armies in more open competitions
