That word is "gallowglass" not "Gala Glass." Also the gallowglass was not a "warlord." They were soldiers, often mercenaries, and many were actually Scottish immigrants to Ireland.

Just b/c one is using a giant sword doesnt mean they wouldn't still need a single handed sidearm. The really big ones are akin to pole weapons. They wouldn't have carried them everywhere they went. Hence the smaller side arm.

@alexwilliamson1486 3 ай бұрын

It was their primary use of weapon? As was the long handed axe?

@chrisgibson5267 3 ай бұрын

@alexwilliamson1486 The axe ( Sparth) was the weapon that they were known for, although some are known to have carried a spear. A sword or dirk would serve as a secondary weapon and carried on the belt. The large swords were carried rather than slung on the back.

@jonnylumberjack6223 3 ай бұрын

The smaller side arm would be the skean, not the lightweight fighting sword that was replicated here.. Don't think anyone would carry a giant sword and a lightweight one?

The Macleans came to Ireland as Gallowglass. Katherine Maclean countess of Argyll married firstly Calvagh O’Donnell of Tyrconnell then left him to marry Seán O’Neill (the proud). Her father came to her wedding accompanied by Gallowglass. After Seán O’Neill was killed by Sorley Boy McDonnell in the Glens of Antrim. Seán O’Neills children were fostered by the Macleans on Mull and were raised as Macshanes (following the Scottish clan system). When they tried to reclaim the earldom of Ulster the MacClean’s supplied 3000 Gallowglass warriors to assist.

"Galloglass" or "Galowglass" means "foreign gael" . Calling them "Irish" is just another example of cod fabricated history. "Ireland" was originally known as "Scotia" & the inhabitants were "Scots" or "Gaels", Irish, from "iar", means "Western", to distinguish from modern Scots to the east.

English propaganda-Irish warriors?: The Gallowglass were Scots from the West of Scotland mercenaries who fought for Irish Kings. Remember, the Romans never conquered the Scots, we were always warriors. Also the Irish expert should know that the Scots defeated the Vikings finally in 1263 and Robert the Bruce 's brother took an army into the north of Ireland in the aftermath of Scotland destroying the English invasions of the 14th century. The west of Scotland and the North of Ireland were related by blood for centuries .

In the hands of a team with better equipment and methods, as well as permission to investigate the entire site, there may be significant finds. I say this although gleaners may have picked the site clean of most chunky finds. If you look for smaller items anywhere, and in areas that were "rough buchalauns and rushes, scrub brush" or have become that today, there will be finds. My great aunt Riganna hired archaeologists to do that at the site of the ruins of my family's principal keep and home, the once beautiful Acaidh Mhaoille. After battles with the turkeys, remains left by the Roundheads were given proper burial, artifacts disputed, and the turkeys tried to force her to "repatriate" family heirlooms that had survived the long centuries of Red Exile As if the Saorstat had ever been a help and comfort to us and our tuathal.
