Austria is 63,9% light eyed according to Schimmer (sample size of 540K), Vienna is 65,7% light eyed according to Beddoe (sample size of 1700), Germany-Austria border (German side) is 66,6% light eyed according to Virchow and Austrian parliament is 67,9% light eyed according to my personal study (275 samples). That's four studies that all fit well together. We know Virchow and Beddoe counted only dark hazel under dark, while light hazel under "gray" or "intermediate" just like The Blade. So we can safely conclude Austria is around 64% light eyed if we use this criteria. I doubt Hungary is on Austrian level of eye pigmentation.

I agree with a lot of this but the Irish have a lot of Norman surnames and Normans very much took on Irish ways. Normans in Ireland intermingled with the native Irish possibly more than they did with the ordinary English. They appear to have mostly mixed with the English upper class but in Ireland they mixed with the native clan families. Even someone like Grace O'Malley had a Norman husband at one time. The Normans in Ireland were called the Old English and many kept their Catholic religion. Anyway I think Norman history in Ireland is different than what happened in England. Some very common Irish surnames have a Norman origin i.e. Burke, Lynch, Fitzgerald, Butler, Walsh etc. There is also that famous expression that the Normans became "more Irish than the Irish themselves."
The Normans that came to Ireland were Cambro-Normans so would most likely have had Welsh and English blood. It don't know whether they would ever be able to genetically tell what the footprint of the Normans were in Ireland or in Britain. It would be great if that was possible.
