Henry ii didn't even know about the invasion of Ireland until after it happened. It was a solo run by Strongbow. His jewish sponsors (josce of Gloucester and Aaron of Lincoln were tried for it).390 soldiers he had with him (probably more in a single IPAS centre nowadays)- he'd plenty help from Irish. In the thousand years preceding that Ireland had only twice been ruled by a single high king (lugaigh mc con and Brian boru). Various tribes who were constantly at war with each other. Kidnapping/stealing the wives and mothers of other kings was a favourite tactic in them times(what provoked Diarm
Meant the other ones. Was in Cyprus around 20 years ago, whole place ground to a halt for the assumption -was nice to see,reminded me of Ireland when I was a child. Probably changed now like everywhere that joins the E.U
They were providing aid to Ireland until the young irelander rebellion in Tipperary.(where nobody got killed). Ireland had a massive middle class of small farmers who hated the poor - the blame for the genocide lay chiefly at their door. (I had a great grandmother until I was 17- would have heard a lot of stories from her of her grandparents-they were still living on the road until 1902 after it). I'd make 1 exception - Donegal was definitely genocided (before,during and after the famine)
Pit bull terrier maybe? Id imagine the first ones weren't taken over to be fanny lickers. So they were already gamedogs before taken there. Yanks made a good job of the greyhound also-real durable dogs_ theyd a tradition of not breeding off a dog with less than 100 race starts(but stayers by irish/u.k standards).
Greyhounds were exported to U.S and Australia at the same time. They're still greyhounds- not American greyhounds. Game dogs as opposed to lookalikes became extinct in the U.k ,but people imported in descendants of their grandparents dogs.
Maybe they were outed as a warning to others further up the ladder of nonzero. (Charles, no way he isn't one(2 main influences when growing up were Savile and lord mountbatten)
Do you think Savile is a royal family member? (Grandson of edward or something like that-used call his mother the duchess, and could knock in to Buckingham unannounced)
I think the e.u bit is bullshit. It was Clare county council, some councillor looking for a bribe. That moment shows how clueless Michael Martin is , that was his cue for cutting a deal on tariffs
