Description
The so-called "Galloglas" shaped Irish military history for centuries - from their appearance in the 13th century to the wars of the Tudor period in the late 16th century. If the warfare of Irish armies was characterised by lightning-like raids with equally rapid retreats, the Galloglas fought it out to the utmost, including Galloglas against Galloglas.
The bloody climax of Galloglas warfare came at the Battle of Knockdoe in 1504.
Described in contemporary accounts as violent and hulking, the warriors represented an Urrian phenomenon but were actually from the Scottish Hebridean islands.
This book describes the origins, history and disappearance of the Galloglas. It takes a look at their appearance, armament, pay, organisation and self-image of these warriors. The latest archaeological findings are also taken into account.
The book was produced in collaboration with Claíomh, one of Ireland's leading reenactment groups. Included are many depictions of reenactors as well as detailed photographs of weapons and equipment, contemporary illustrations, photographs of settings and a series of drawings.
