understanding of cultural differences.

We teach students Irish culture is DEEPLY CONNECTED to history and nature. They will
EXPERIENCE a full immersion activities such as field trips. They will ACQUIRE AND
PERFORM skills in critical analysis of historical sources such as handworks kept in the
museum. They will be also educated about the significance and the value of biodiversity of
Irish parks.

Last part of the unit has been planned to edit brochures in order to develop a
MEANINGFUL AND SHARED EDUCATIONAL PATH.

 Day 1- History
The Anglo-Normans arrive in
Ireland, 1169 on.
How, and when, had their liberty been taken from the Irish?

The 'when' is easy enough to pinpoint - the fateful decade when an

Session 3
Anglo-Norman colony of barons established itself in northern and eastern
Ireland; and the fateful year, 1171, when the kings of Ireland had knelt
before Henry II, in a specially built palace made of wattle, and had
submitted to him as their overlord and High King.

Activity 4- Reading
So you would suppose that the 'how' is also a story of depressing
simplicity. The aggressive, expansionist English - under the king most
famous for gobbling up duchies and kingdoms - take a look out west, see
something they fancy, push their horses onto ships, bludgeon their way
into the land they want with blood and fire, and force themselves on the
peaceful natives as conquerors. Then they sit there for the next 800 years, Title:The Anglo-Normans arrive in Ireland, 1169 on.
daring the conquered people to do something about it.

Activity 5 Skimming and Scanning

But that's not what happened. What did happen is ugly enough - and
reflects no credit on the English intruders - but it was, as history often is -
both more complicated and more tragic, than any simple 'natives against
imperialists' story could possibly suggest.

Awful the deed done in Ireland today...

Activity 6 T-chart
Just as in Scotland a century later, the trouble with the English began
with a civil war among the natives. In 1166, the King of Leinster,
Diarmait MacMurchada was forced to flee from Dublin and from his
kingdom by an alliance of Irish enemies, including the new High King,
Ruaidri Ua Conchobair. 'Awful the deed done in Ireland today', wrote the
chronicler of Leinster, 'the expulsion overseas by the men of Ireland of
Diarmait...'.

And awful were its consequences. For Diarmait landed in Bristol and
asked for help from King Henry II to get his throne back. Now what
happens when you ask the Godfather for a favour? He expects something,
some day, in return. And, as the Song of Dermot made clear, from the
beginning that something was:

 Statute of Kilkenny
The Statute of Kilkenny were a set of laws made by the English in 1367 to try and save the
English colony in Ireland. The laws were made by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Lionel of
Antwerp, 1st Duke of Clarence. They were passed at a meeting of the Irish parliament held at
Kilkenny.

The English had difficulty in taking over Ireland. The first English settlers, the Anglo-Irish, began
to become Irish in the way they viewed the world. They began to put their own interests ahead
of those of the English royalty. The government of Ireland had become weak after the battles
with Edward Bruce, and the arrival of the Black Death weakened the country even more.
Edward III of England became concerned that the Anglo-Irish were becoming too powerful and
threatened his rights and interests in Ireland. He attempted three times to control their
increasing independence.
Edward III finally sent his third son, Lionel of Antwerp, to Ireland to try and get back control. He
was very concerned that the Anglo-Irish had become more Irish than the Irish themselves. The
Statute of Kilkenny were laws designed to bring Ireland back under the control of English born
nobles, not English descendants in Ireland. These laws were serious, to break one was seen as
treason and could be punished by death.

The law

The Statute of Kilkenny had a lot of laws made to separate the English from the Irish. It was
against the law for the English in Ireland to:

• Marry an Irish person

• Adopt an Irish child
• Use an Irish name
• Wear Irish clothes
• Speak the Irish language
• Play Irish music
• Listen to Irish story-tellers
• Play Irish games
• Let an Irish person join an English religious house
• Appoint any Irish clergyman to any church in the English settlement
• Ride a horse in Irish style, that is, without a saddle.
Because of the weak government, they were not able to make people obey the new
laws, and the Anglo-Irish ignored them.
