Abstract	The papers in this session will address the ‘clash of cultures’ which took place in medieval Ireland between the Irish and English. The first paper deals with the intermingling of the two cultures as represented in nomenclature. The second addresses the ‘culture shock’ of those who held lands in England and Ireland and assesses the impact on such landholders. The third paper addresses how the values and forms of marriage practice by the English and later the Anglo-Irish in Ireland clashed with the Gaelic Irish norms and looks at the changes which resulted from the interaction of the two ideals.
