====================================
1169 - the year before the Anglo-Norman invasion led by the Earl of Pembroke, known to history as Strongbow. In 1169 Ireland was independent, with a rich Celtic culture dating back some 1500 years. A thousand years earlier, every other Celtic country had fallen to Rome, but in the British Isles the Roman Empire had expanded no further west than Wales (although the Romans traded with the Irish, whom they called Scots). The Romans' successors as invaders of England, the Angles and Saxons, were stopped at the English-Welsh border. Indeed Ireland, although never united, for much of the first millennium AD was effectively an expansionist power; kings such a Niall of the Nine Hostages raided England and Wales (St Patrick first came to Ireland as a captured slave) and colonized western Scotland (see the entry for Carrigfergus). To the latter country they gave not only their language, but their own name, for it became known as Scotia Minor and ultimately Scotland.
