It would have required a significant military occupation as the anti-Norman resentment last all the way till Henry the 5th. Infact that was a pivotal period in English history. The Irish, Scots, Welsh and English hated the Normans with a passion. Although the city of Watersford, a Viking-celt city fell to just 17 mounted Norman knights. However the impact to me is not significant but I know for a fact I have Norman DNA Many people do but yes they would have intermixed into the native population. The Normans 'became more Irish than the Irish themselves' as the saying went. They were the conquerors of the British Islands. They did more for the British Island than the Saxons, Vikings, and Celts did combined

Like the Harrying of the North? (sarcasm) Seriously, I agree with your main point, but the other three groups also made vital contributions that were necessary for the development of the British Isles (lasting institutions, port cities, Christian preservation, respectively).

This is really really beautiful, hearing the two languages I heard from childhood blended together, being actually used together. I hope to see a united ireland in which ulster-scots and gaeilge share official language status, and hiberno-english is transitioned out. I would bust my ass as a janitor or similar dirty work if that's what it took to live in such a lovely place.
I'm looking for people like me, who are crazy, fun, and not afraid of life. and one day when I find them, we'll escape, we'll break out of the zoo.
