Böcker av Damiane Duhamel

This groundbreaking book delves into the intricate interplay between entanglement theory and innovative geophysical macro-analytical methods to shed new light on the diffusion of Norman culture during late medieval Ireland. Challenging conventional wisdom, the author critically evaluates traditional theories of Anglo-Norman conquest, including mass migration, military conquest, and political dominance. In their place, a more nuanced concept of "Normanization" emerges, emphasizing the transformative role of genetically Irish individuals who retained their native language, legal systems, and interests while adopting Norman material culture.
