Ireland in Schools
Norman images of IrelandGerald of Wales, c. 1200
Gerald of Wales (Giraldus Cambrensis) wrote The History and Topography of Ireland around 1200. In it he contrasts the beauty of the island and the richness of its faunawith the barbarity of its inhabitants.The result of his visit in 1185, it is the source for virtually all we know about Ireland in the Middle Ages except for a few sparse chronicle accounts.Gerald clearly wished to please his master, Henry II, by justifying the invasion as a civilising mission.Nevertheless, there is no reason to suppose that he was not genuinely shocked by thedeviant aspects and apparent laxness of the Irish Church or by the barbarity of the Irish in general.
