search Ireland in 1300 showing maximum extent of Hiberno-Norman
control.  The Hiberno-Normans are those Normans who settled in
Ireland after the Norman conquest of Ireland in 1169 and who
remained a distinct community until their eclipse in the early
17th century following the Tudor conquest of Ireland. The term
embraces both their origins as a distinct community with their
own dialect of Norman-French and their development in Ireland
(the prefix "Hiberno" means "relating to Ireland or the Irish",
from Hibernia). The Clan Burke, FitzGeralds, Butlers and de
Berminghams are notable families among them.  The Hiberno-
Normans often admitted little if any real fealty to the Anglo-
Norman settlers in England,[1] and soon began to interact and
intermarry with the Gaelic nobility of Ireland, especially
outside the zone of English control known as The Pale. This
process of gaelicisation became known as the Hiberno-Normans
becoming more Irish than the Irish thems
