I have some questions about medieval Ireland.
A. What would be the best way for any chief/clan leader to unite the other chiefs/clan leaders under him from a highly decentralised and independent group to a quite decentralised and dependent group.
B. In Irish nobility was there anything like lords under a king or was it just he's the 'king' of Leinster I send him 'tribute'. Was there any sort of tribute anyway?
C. How big would an Irish army of around the 900s really be? From battles like Clontarf and others 4000 - 9000 seems normal with Clontarf having around 13,000 men involved in the battle with around 6000 on both sides. For a smaller kingdom than Brian's 3000 - 4000 seems quite sensible.
D. Can someone give me a name of pseudo-Dublin?
E. When were the unifications of England and Scotland? The dates on Wikipedia and Google seem questionable.
