Cambro Normans
Cambro-Normans , also Kambro-Normans , ( lat. Cambria : "Wales") were Normans who settled in the south of Wales from 1067 after the Norman conquest of Wales and originally came from Normandy . Their language was Cambro-Norman .
About 100 years after the Norman conquest of England , the Normans invaded Eastern Ireland in 1167 under Richard Fitz Godbert de Roche and in 1169 Richard de Clare and conquered the counties of Wexford and Waterford . Most of these Normans came from Wales, only a few from England , which is why medievalists also refer to them as Cambro-Normans and not as Anglo-Normans . Those Normans who stayed and settled in Ireland later became Hiberno-Normans .
