Hiberno-Norman

Hiberno-Norman refers to the culture and society that emerged in Ireland during the 12th to 16th centuries, following the invasion by the Anglo-Normans. It represents a blending of Anglo-Norman customs, language, and governance with indigenous Irish traditions and practices. This fusion influenced architecture, art, and the legal system, creating a unique cultural identity. Hiberno-Norman society included both English settlers and Gaelic Irish, leading to significant social and political changes in Ireland. This period laid important foundations for later Irish history and identity, highlighting interactions between different ethnic and cultural groups.
