In 1169 AD, Norman invaders arrived in County Wexford, Ireland. Now, a rare
and complete, 800-year-old Norman “hauberk” (chainmail vest) has been
discovered in County Longford thought to date to when the Normans arrived
there in 1172.
The “hauberk” was a coat of upper body armor that was often referred to as
a “byrnie.” Made of chain mail, the wearable metal material was much more
flexible and lightweight compared with the stiffer and heavier plate armor.
It was an almost perfectly preserved hauberk that was recently discovered in
a shed at an undisclosed location in Ireland. According to a report in RTE
the ancient armor is currently being held by local tourist attraction, “
Granard Knights & Conquests ,” prior to being exhibited to the public at the
National Museum of Ireland.
公元 1169 年，諾曼入侵者抵達愛爾蘭韋克斯福德郡。現在，在朗福德郡發現了一件罕見
且完整的、已有 800 年曆史的諾曼“鎖子甲”（鏈甲背心），其歷史可以追溯到 1172
年諾曼人到達那裡時。
“hauberk”是一件上身盔甲，通常被稱為“byrnie”。與更硬更重的板甲相比，這種由
鎖子甲製成的可穿戴金屬材料更加靈活和輕便。
這是一個幾乎保存完好的鎖甲，最近在愛爾蘭一個未公開地點的棚屋中被發現。根據RTE
的報導，這件古代盔甲目前由當地旅遊景點“ Granard Knights & Conquests ”保存，
然後在愛爾蘭國家博物館向公眾展出。

A Real Ancient Treasure For Heritage Week
The piece of rare, and almost complete, ancient Norman armor, that is soaked
with the history of 800 years, was recently found rusting in a garden shed.
The discoverer only realized what he had in his shed after attending a ‘
Norman People’ event at Granard Knights & Conquests, as part of National
Heritage Week. When the finder went home and recognized the item in his shed
was virtually the same as those worn by the actors earlier they came forward
and informed Irish antiquary authorities.
Tourism and Education Officer for Granard Knights & Conquests, Deirdre Orme,
told RTE that the hauberk is an “absolutely amazing discovery.”
Furthermore, General Manager of Granard Knights & Conquests, Mr Bartle D’
Arcy, explained that while the artifact was not discovered in Granard, or at
Granard Motte, it was dug up from a drain in a nearby. Now, the National
Museum of Ireland have announced that their restorers will preserve the rare
piece of Norman armor .
這件罕見的，幾乎完整的古代諾曼盔甲，浸透了 800 年的歷史，最近在花園棚子裡被發
現生鏽。作為國家遺產週的一部分，發現者在參加 Granard Knights & Conquests 的“
諾曼人”活動後才意識到他的棚子裡有什麼。當發現者回家並發現他棚子裡的物品與演員
們早些時候所穿的物品幾乎相同時，他們挺身而出並通知了愛爾蘭古物當局。
Granard Knights & Conquests 的旅遊和教育官員 Deirdre Orme 告訴 RTE，這個鎖扣是
“絕對驚人的發現”。此外，Granard Knights & Conquests 的總經理 Bartle D'Arcy
先生解釋說，雖然這件神器沒有在 Granard 或 Granard Motte 發現，但它是從附近的排
水溝中挖出來的。現在，愛爾蘭國家博物館宣布，他們的修復者將保存這件罕見的諾曼盔
甲。

An Origin Story As Grand As The Discovery, Perhaps?
Deirdre Orme of Granard Knights & Conquests said the team were “completely
blown away” when the finder presented their team of history lovers with the
800-year-old hauberk. The reason for her excitement was because the whole
scenario “completely links into what we’re doing here at the center –
tapping into our Norman history and heritage.”
The hauberk dates back to approximately 1172 AD when the Normans first
arrived in Ireland. This is why the archaeologists at the National Museum of
Ireland are associating the discovery with the story of Richard De Tuite,
Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, who in 1199 AD built a timber-frame castle and
motte. Whether or not the armor was indeed linked with the story of Richard
De Tuite, or not, Mr D’Arcy said that for the finder to have discovered the
almost whole, original Norman hauberk. “is just beyond belief.” And the
Norman culture specialist added that the whole discovery was amplified
because it coincides with Heritage Week.
Hauberk 的歷史可以追溯到大約公元 1172 年，當時諾曼人首次抵達愛爾蘭。這就是為什
麼愛爾蘭國家博物館的考古學家將這一發現與愛爾蘭首席大法官 Richard De Tuite 的故
事聯繫起來，他在公元 1199 年建造了一座木結構城堡和山丘。不管這件盔甲是否確實
與 Richard De Tuite 的故事有關，D'Arcy 先生說，發現者發現了幾乎完整的原始諾曼
鎖甲。“簡直難以置信。” 諾曼文化專家補充說，整個發現被放大了，因為它恰逢遺產
週。

Changing The Face Of Ireland Forever
The history if Ireland is greatly composed with stories of ancient invasions.
The native Fir Bolg were defeated by the Tuatha De Dannan and they themselves
were banished to the mounds to exist only as faeries. However, none of the
mythological invasions were so near genocidal as were the real life Norman
invasions. For while several waves of giants and semi-divine armies have
attacked Ireland in ancient legends, none of them aimed to eradicate Irish
culture so much as did the Normans, backed by forces of Rome.

According to the New World Encyclopedia the Norman invasion of Ireland led to
“the eventual entry of the Lordship of Ireland into the Angevin Empire.”
This meant the Normans had the blessing of the Pope, which was a way to
punish the island’s Christianity that had failed to conform to Rome’s
strict rules of worship. The immediate consequences were the end of the
ancient linage of Irish High Kings and all of the timeworn ways of living and
dying, and the onset of English rule in Ireland, which continued until 1922.
The Norman hauberk is an artifact from the first days of these cataclysmic
changes that would entirely change the destiny of the Emerald Isle.
