That word is "gallowglass" not "Gala Glass." Also the gallowglass was not a "warlord." They were soldiers, often mercenaries, and many were actually Scottish immigrants to Ireland.
@@ManImJustSomeDude I'm stuck with an Irish surname (even though, oddly, the tiny trace of DNA matching Irish descent is on my mom's side; the tests says dad's side is scotch where not English), so I focused on the Irish spellings. All are variations of "galloglass" with varying numbers of "l"s and "s"s.
Just b/c one is using a giant sword doesnt mean they wouldn't still need a single handed sidearm. The really big ones are akin to pole weapons. They wouldn't have carried them everywhere they went. Hence the smaller side arm.
@alexwilliamson1486 The axe ( Sparth) was the weapon that they were known for, although some are known to have carried a spear. A sword or dirk would serve as a secondary weapon and carried on the belt. The large swords were carried rather than slung on the back.
The smaller side arm would be the skean, not the lightweight fighting sword that was replicated here.. Don't think anyone would carry a giant sword and a lightweight one?
My fathers family name is McGirr one of the last Gallowglass kicked out and two parts of the clan split at the clearances .. some came to Antrim.. others stayed in lower Scotland... ... yes really .. .we are strong when we are strong in mind..
How word's travel through time. I'm Irish. The word Gilly we used in Dublin inner city when I was younger, I'm 60. We used it in a derogatory way, like calling someone a fool. I was way of the mark. A big difference in meaning. Young and ignorant. Gilly, a person that work's for a soldier, he carries the Arms or simlar for the Warrior. ✌️☘️

The Gallowglas were Norse Who settled in the west of scotland and the Islands, They married some locals, and the irish/Scots of the western isles… those people became the gallowglas. Norse/Scots/Gaels…
The Macleans came to Ireland as Gallowglass. Katherine Maclean countess of Argyll married firstly Calvagh O’Donnell of Tyrconnell then left him to marry Seán O’Neill (the proud). Her father came to her wedding accompanied by Gallowglass. After Seán O’Neill was killed by Sorley Boy McDonnell in the Glens of Antrim. Seán O’Neills children were fostered by the Macleans on Mull and were raised as Macshanes (following the Scottish clan system). When they tried to reclaim the earldom of Ulster the MacClean’s supplied 3000 Gallowglass warriors to assist.

They were descended from Norse& Geals ,Isles off Scotland, hired themselves out as Mercenaries. Especially used in Ireland. Quite a few Irish clans, families are descended from them McSweenys, others like McDonnalds, etc. Even English hired them. Remember they spoke Gaelic, They could understand each other, Irish,Scots. Big& Tough!! They didnt Run, Paid Mercenaries. Also called Redshanks, primarily in Ireland. Firstin ,Last Out! Plenty fighting Going On in Ireland ,Cattle Rustling, War among Different Clans, families. Half Norse, Scots Gaels from Isles of Scotland! Weilding Two handed Swords, and Axes. Claymores,Irish Ring Swords. These Guys Meant Business!!Called Ring Swords because Pommel was usually hollow,like A Ring. Quite a few Irish descended from GALLOWGLAS. 🤔 Very interesting History.
English propaganda-Irish warriors?: The Gallowglass were Scots from the West of Scotland mercenaries who fought for Irish Kings. Remember, the Romans never conquered the Scots, we were always warriors. Also the Irish expert should know that the Scots defeated the Vikings finally in 1263 and Robert the Bruce 's brother took an army into the north of Ireland in the aftermath of Scotland destroying the English invasions of the 14th century. The west of Scotland and the North of Ireland were related by blood for centuries .

The archaeologist sure can talk up a lot of nonsense from their geophis, absolutely nothing found and I bet absolutely nothing has been done since to investigate the site. All talk
In the hands of a team with better equipment and methods, as well as permission to investigate the entire site, there may be significant finds. I say this although gleaners may have picked the site clean of most chunky finds. If you look for smaller items anywhere, and in areas that were "rough buchalauns and rushes, scrub brush" or have become that today, there will be finds. My great aunt Riganna hired archaeologists to do that at the site of the ruins of my family's principal keep and home, the once beautiful Acaidh Mhaoille. After battles with the turkeys, remains left by the Roundheads were given proper burial, artifacts disputed, and the turkeys tried to force her to "repatriate" family heirlooms that had survived the long centuries of Red Exile As if the Saorstat had ever been a help and comfort to us and our tuathal.
Go preach that in church. You lot just want everyone to stay dim so they don't gain knowledge to query the past because along the way the fairytale invisible being gets questioned and the religious lot lose following.
