Invasion: The Normans(2024)

Invasion: The Normans is a historical series examining the 12th-century Anglo-Norman conquest of Ireland and its far-reaching consequences. When Norman forces crossed the Irish Sea, they didn't just reshape an island—they altered the balance of power across Europe. Irish resources and strategic control became a flashpoint in the escalating rivalry between England and France, turning a regional military campaign into a continental power struggle. The series traces how this invasion rippled outward, influencing dynastic ambitions and territorial disputes that would define medieval European politics for generations. Through primary sources and expert analysis, Invasion: The Normans reveals how a single military incursion sparked conflicts that extended well beyond Ireland's shores, reshaping the political landscape of an entire continent.
