Swords of Ireland's Norman Invasion

This video covers some of the swords on display in Dublin's National History museum. It does not cover the full history of swords in Ireland but those that may have been used during the time of the Norman invasions in the late 1100's. Reference is given to "swordsmanship" but in my experience of fencing against female fencers, I have found them to be equally skilled and offering little quarter too!

Greetings from Ireland! Welcome to my channel, that is dedicated to the history and culture of Ireland. This is not set out to be a history lesson, but a ramble through some stories you might find interesting about Ireland from an Irishman! Ireland has so many connections throughout the world from the emigration from this country over so many centuries, but those with Irish blood in their families always have a yearning to know more about thier "old country", this is my attempt to bring some of the history and culture they left behind. So if you fancy some tales about horsemen and highwaymen, banshee's and fairies, soldiers and rebels, legends and folklore, saints and scholars, normans, vikings and Irish warriors, please like and subscribe, I post once per month. Thank you for watching. Ronan.
