We disagree on the amount of Norse contribution to Ireland. I've spent time actually on the ground looking at Norse remains. I lived for 12 months in exactly the area that Norsemen lived in 1000 years ago. I've been to Tolka Wood where Brian Boru camped the night before the Battle of Clontarf 1014, I've been to Clontarf itself. I was lined up to be the assistant manager at the "Dublin Viking Adventure" until the Dublin Corporation, in its infinite wisdom (not!) closed it down. I've given lectures in Dublin on Viking Dublin. I feel that the Norse were a minor affect. There are still Norse words in modern Irish Gaelic, for example, "Bord" for table, "Gard" for policeman, "Ruin" for secret...and more... Ooow the invader is so proud. Bertie |

We disagree on the amount of Norse contribution to Ireland. I feel that the Norse were a minor affect. The issue seems to be what is the definition of "minor affect" or "major affect". The definitions would depend on the individual person. I would have thought that would be settled by a genetic analysis. Cultural impact is not the same thing as genetic impact. so important to you nazis, isn;t it? Bertie |
