Colonisation idea

I think something like that was how the Angles and Saxons totally displaced and submerged the Britons in England itself back in the 500s-700s and why Byronthic as a language died out completely in England. It would finally result in a failed revolt and a lot fewer men and a lot of English solders settling down marrying Irish colleens.
Just remember that the original meaning of conquest (in the Near Eastern and biblical sense and yes, it helps to have polygamy) is:" kill all the men and marry the women". That's how you conquer a people completely. They become part of you. .
 
I'd sleep with one eye open if I married an Irish lass who'd had her man/lover killed by the English ;). I suppose culture clash would come into it too, Irish women were a lot more equal than those in England - I'm not sure they were completely equal (though it's certainly possible) but they were a lot more equal than many women. Might be hard for the men to adjust, but it could work.

I suppose women have a tendency to be more pragmatic about it, and children would help ease some of the bitterness.
