In this bonus episode, we step away from the main narrative to examine one of the most important sources for the Norman Conquest of Ireland: The Song of Dermot and the Earl.
This Anglo-Norman French verse chronicle gives us some of the most vivid details of the invasion — from Dermot MacMurrough’s exile and the arrival of the Normans, to the capture of Waterford, the fall of Dublin, Rory O’Connor’s siege, and the growing power of Strongbow.
But how reliable is it?
We explore who may have been behind the text, the possible role of Dermot’s interpreter Maurice Regan, what the source contains, and how its pro-Norman bias shapes the story it tells.
In this bonus episode, we cover:
- The Song as a Primary Source
- Who was Maurice Regan?
- What events the poem describes in vivid detail.
- Bias and Propaganda
Why historians must compare The Song with the Irish annals, Gerald of Wales and modern scholarship.
