Normans in Ireland - Leinster, 11671247

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.
