Life in the UK Test 35
At the beginning of the Middle Ages, Ireland was not an independent country.
Correct Answer: False
False. At the beginning of the Middle Ages, Ireland was an independent country — or more precisely, a collection of independent Gaelic kingdoms. Ireland had never been conquered by the Romans, and at the start of the medieval period it remained entirely separate from England.
English involvement in Ireland began in the 12th century, when Norman lords invaded under King Henry II in 1169–1171. Even then, much of Ireland remained under Gaelic rule for centuries.
