A Few Further Points I don t get many messages anymore so I m not sure if anyone is paying me any attention but in the interests of our national heritage etc 1 I changed the recent edits on the medieval early modern headings as they were nt really kosher Got rid of the term petty kingdoms before I realised what it meant and so put it back Sorry I disliked it and still do because the wording appears to suggest that they were not real kingdoms merely tribal chiefdoms or some such We know otherwise and I guess I have being overzealous in trying to keep that in place Sorry 2 Anyone know who made the maps Eh I have a few things to say no one will ever speck to me again when I m finished about them As follows the 1014 map A Osraige buffer kingdom between Leinster and Munster Wherefore B All of what is now Co Clare then Thomond was in Munster C All of west central Brefine was in Connacht East B still part of Oirel D S Ui Neill kingdom was called the Kingdom of Mide E N Ui Neill kingdom was called Ailech see Kings of Ailech Okay and as for the map of Ireland A D 1300 A All of Connamara free of Anglo Normans B Ditto Erris Achill north west and north Mayo C Ditto north central Roscommon area around Lough Allen D The O Moores of Laois were never subduded either That s about it The tide had turned against the Anglo Normans by then though we really were a push over at first Over the next hundred years they lost way more God help them Cheers
