EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the Norman conquest of Ireland, as depicted in the Chronicle of the Anglo-Norman warrior, Gerald of Wales. In 1169, following the appointment of Richard fitzGilbert de Clare, also known as Strongbow, as Lord of Leinster by King Henry II of England, the Norman forces under the command of his kinsman, Maurice fitzGerald and the Anglo-Norman knight, William fitzStephen, were dispatched to pacify the rebellious Irish. As they approached the coast of Wexford, the Irish forces, led by Diarmait MacMurrough, gathered in strength, determined to resist the invaders. Realizing that his troops were outnumbered and facing a formidable enemy, fitzStephen, who had been sent specifically to secure the area for Strongbow, devised a bold strategy to demonstrate his resolve and deter any thoughts of retreat. He ordered his men to burn their boats, sending a clear message to the Irish that they had no intention of leaving. The sight of the Norman boats engulfed in flames off the coast of Wexford must have been a terrifying spectacle for the Irish forces, who were already wary of the formidable Norman military prowess. This defiant act of destruction not only boosted the morale of the Norman troops but also served as a powerful psychological weapon against their adversaries. The Norman conquest of Ireland, which began with Strongbow's arrival in 1170, would continue for centuries, shaping the cultural, political, and social landscape of the island. This iconic image of fitzStephen's boats ablaze serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role played by the Normans in Irish history and the enduring impact of their arrival.
