Everything about Cambro-norman totally explained
Cambro-Norman is a term used for
Norman knights who settled in southern
Wales after the
Norman conquest of England in
1066. Some historians suggest that the term is to be preferred to
Anglo-Norman for the Normans who invaded
Ireland after
1170 — many of whom originated in Wales.
The most prominent example is
Richard "Strongbow" de Clare, whose lands in Wales centred around
Pembroke and who led the
Norman invasion of Ireland.
In addition to such Cambro-Norman lords, some of Ireland's most prominent families, including Walsh, Joyce and Griffith, were indigenous Welsh families who came with the Norman invasion. Other indigenous Welsh surnames such as
Taaffe which came at this time became very important families within
the Pale community.
