　Gerald of Wales was among the most dynamic and

fascinating churchmen of the twelfth century. A member of one of

the leading Norman families involved in the invasion of Ireland, he

first visited there in 1183 and later returned in the entourage of

Henry II. The resulting "Topographia Hiberniae" is an extraordinary

account of his travels. Here he describes landscapes, fish, birds

and animals; recounts the history of Ireland's rulers; and tells

fantastical stories of magic wells and deadly whirlpools, strange

creatures and evil spirits. Written from the point of view of an

invader and reformer, this work has been rightly criticized for its

portrait of a primitive land, yet it is also one of the most

important sources for what is known of Ireland during the Middle

Ages.
