It's only been a century since the final victory of the Irish over the Danes, ending the era of Viking terror and domination. Still, there are communities of Danes and Norwegians in Ireland. But now the Irish are facing a slower invasion by Norman adventurers from England. Therefore, there is a degree of hostility between the Irish and Norwegians, Danes, Normans, and to a smaller degree the English. Relations are good with the Scots and Welsh on the whole.
