As someone who has Irish, Welsh, Scottish and English ancestors ( in other words, a typical Englishman ) I want to say you have done a remarkable job with this video. The only minor comment I would make is the change of name from "Norman " to " English" was maybe a little too early in date. After the Normans invaded what would become Britain, they were effectively an army in occupation in many areas for the next 200 years. Altogether, this is an excellent video - a very fair explanation of a highly complex history.

@@thomashaeusler The replacement theory was something the Victorians suggested for Germanic settlers eradicating the earlier people of England. Modern DNA studies show that in general populations remain but adopt the new culture. Celtic is more of a culture than an identifiable genetic group and the distribution changes across Britain are largely independent of later national boundaries. It's a fascinating subject for sure and science is making the picture clearer all the time.

But last year I started learning Irish again and this summer went to Donegal to an Irish language course and to my slight surprise there were as many Americans there as Irish varying from 20's to 70's getting to know them by socialising in the bar in the evening I was left dumbfounded by how much of the Irish culture was preserved in the States. There was a girl from Minnesota who played the harp singing songs as Gaeilge I shit you not from the 1700's. It made me think about the horrible conditions that forced their ancestors out of Ireland (as well as plenty of my own) and that pain has travelled through the centuries to people several generations removed from Ireland leaving them while proud to be American feeling somewhere in the back of their minds the aren't where they should be. Long Story short it might have taken me 34 years but I get what your saying and if you feel as you say, Ireland is only a flight away and a wonderful country with the best people on Earth anyway Slán go fóill mo chara.

Battle after battle...self interest is an ongoing fundamental part of human nature. How sad...we learn nothing century upon century.

[@argh2945]

Well it is a fundamental part of human nature as you've rightly said and human nature is a constant throughout history.

[@corvettefever360]

And yet, and yet, we are just so perplexed on how serial killers do what they do. How can they do such things? OMG! Really tho, no matter how butchering people is justified, it's essentially the same. The only difference is, serial killers do it for self & outside the accepted group & structure. But the second it's done for self, or the rulers (kings, Queens, etc) 1st, & then for the people (group & structure ) next, then we can rape, torture, & butcher whomever gets in the way. Cold hard facts! But OMG, these serial killers? How is this possible, how can they do this? Oh they must be "EVIL" ! Yep that explains it all. We'll do all these elaborate studies to try to figure out what is just human nature! And in human nature, we will always find some justification for what we do. Which could mean that the serial killer is at least more honest & true to what they are. Ironically it's only after they are caught, that they start questioning themselves, & talking the same talk of the indoctrinated masses. That "I must be evil" or "something is wrong with me", etc etc, talk

@@corvettefever360 Self interest is normal and is not wrong. Our action in pursue of that self-interest is where it can become questionable

[@jackspring7709]

No its not: it's the fundamental nature of sociopaths, psychopaths and narcissists - and they always get a free pass throughout history because the rest of us suffer from this age old habit of blaming ourselves for the carnage these parasites cause.

This is gonna be exciting. I know next to nothing about Ireland, but I'm very interested in it.

[@wjf0ne]

poro poro I'll let you into a secret, it rains a lot over Ireland so the people all have to shelter in big dry buildings known as pubs where they consume more liquid than the clouds emptied over the land, and then fight and fall down a lot.

Really informative account, of this island nation…better than the boring classes in school. Not that I ever heard an account of Ireland from its beginnings. The populations who settled in my native country didn’t even arrive for many millennia.

there were kings in Ireland and each territory kingdom provincial kings and a High King of all Ireland.

[@Shaboomquisa]

O'doherty was one of them

[@jakegalvin6946]

There were christians in Ireland before St Patrick infact he mentions it in his writing. These christians who brought christianity were the coptic christians from Egypt and monks who settled around the west coast of the island. Evidence is still there today in county Kerry at Skellig michael of a coptic monastery. Some of the ancient Irish symbols are coptic rather than Roman.

[@metalmindedmaniac2587]

I love learning more about a portion of Celtic Heritage (Northern Ireland, Scotland, Northern France Normandy/Britagne ect. Gotta learn more about my Germanic Heritage soon.

[@reidparker1848]

Celtic and Germanic are meaningless terms randomly invented by the Romans

[@metalmindedmaniac2587]

@@reidparker1848 this is true I suppose because the Celts and Germanic people's probably didn't use those terms on them selves so you are possibly correct.
