The Families of the Invasion: O'Brien of Thomond (Part 1)

Hi all,

This is the first part of what I suspect will be at least five videos about one of the greatest dynasties to emerge from #Ireland in the medieval era - the #O'Brien family.

Theirs is a fascinating #history which stretches back into the mists of time and includes some of the most brilliant people of the Middle Ages.

This first video is about their early history, before they even adopted the name of O'Brien.

Are you an O'Brien or do you have O'Brien or County Clare heritage? Make sure to comment and share with your family!

If you'd like to know more find me on Twitter @ruadhbutler or on Facebook.

They are a rip-roaring adventure through #medieval #Wales and Ireland! And honestly, who hasn't wondered who would win in a fight - the #Vikings or the #Normans? I know where I would place my money ;)
