Gaelic Warfare

Indigenous Gaelic Warfare

Weaponry

Gaels employed a variety of weapons in combat including javelins (called sleagh in gaelic), harpoons (gae), darts (birin), slings, spears and swords. Javelins and harpoons were used by the wealthiest among them, while less wealthy fighters used slings and darts, although ranged combat was generally disdained in Celtic warfare as being cowardly. Gaels employed a variety of spears, swords, and axes for close quarters combat. The Craisech was also used. It was a long spear used from horseback to pursue a defeated enemy and stab overhand from above, or used with both hands like a bayonet to fight at close quarters after dismounting. Gaelic swords were a very small affair, many not being more than 14 inches long, though blades with lengths of 21 inches were common. They were rigid, double-edged, and had an acute point used for stabbing. There were, however, longer swords based on La Tene Gallic[citation needed] models which were long and capable of delivering crushing blows, but these could only be afforded by the aristocracy, which fought from chariots and later on horseback.

Standards

Standards and hollowed out bull horns (a primitive battle trumpet) were often carried into battle to rally men into combat. The bagpipe would also gain popularity in the later years.

Armour

In Gaelic culture, the use of armor was generally disdained as being cumbersome and impairing the agility of the warrior. However, in a few rare cases, its value was recognized and kings would be covered in armor and helmets to protect them. Armour was usually a simple affair: the poorest might have worn padded coats; the wealthier might have worn boiled leather; and the wealthiest might have had access to bronze chest plates or a cuirass, and perhaps (but rarely) mail (though it did exist in Ireland, it was rare). Overlapping iron or bronze scales could also have been expected. Helmets were rather like Hallstatt helmets[citation needed], even into the Middle Ages. That is, they were usually round, some with decorated cheekguards, and crested with horse hair, or featuring a long plume tail. Like most Celtic helmets, they were modular, so they could be decorated by their owners with such accoutrements. Shields were usually round, with a spindle shaped boss, though later the regular iron boss models were introduced by the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. A few shields were also oval in shape or square, but most of them were small and round, like bucklers, to better enable agility.

Customs

In Gaelic Ireland, before the Viking age (when Vikings brought new forms of technology, culture and warfare into Ireland), there was a heavy importance placed on clan wars and ritual combat. This is known as the heroic age, and Celtic clans would fight wars in an endemic manner; that is, occurring every summer and in a very ritualized fashion. In pre-Christian Ireland human sacrifice formed a huge part of these conflicts. Very much the same as most other primitive cultures, warriors killed or captured in combat would be sacrificed to the gods in ritualistic ways. Those killed in combat would have their heads cut off and kept as talismans. Their dead corpses were offered to the goddess of war, Morrigan, whom they believed would turn into a crow and come to devour the deceased. Captives were frequently also sacrificed to other gods by either drowning or herding them into a hut and burning them. These acts were accompanied by chants and incantations performed by Druids (pagan priests). These customs continued even after the advent of Christianity into Ireland. Take, for example, the Viking Thorgest, who was said to have been drowned by the Christian Irish. Another very important aspect of Celtic ritual warfare at this time was single combat. To settle a dispute and measure one's prowess, it was customary to challenge an individual warrior from the other army to ritual single combat to the death while cheered on by the opposing hosts. Such fights were common before pitched battle, and for ritual purposes tended to occur at river fords. For examples of this behavior, one can read the epic literature of Ireland, such as the Ulster Cycle and Fenian Cycle, as well as accounts of Gaelic wars such as the "Wars of the Gael with the Foreigners" and Geoffrey Keating's "History of Ireland."

Tactics and Organization

War in Ireland and Scotland was based around the cattle raid. Cattle were the main form of wealth in the Gaelic culture, as currency had not yet been introduced, and the aim of most tribal wars was the capture of the enemy's cattle. For this task, there were specially trained units of light infantry known as "ceitherne" or "kern" (literally "warband") which were lightly armed with either swords or knives (sgian) for self-defence. Their main task was the theft and herding away of the enemy cattle. Initially Ceithern were members of individual tribes, but later, when the Vikings and English introduced new systems of billeting to soldiers, the kern became billeted soldiers and mercenaries who served anyone who paid them the most. The Ceitherne were in no way fit to engage in combat because of their light armament and lack of horses. Instead, they were accompanied by the chariot mounted aristocracy, which was the mainstay of the Gaelic army. Chariots were later replaced by cavalry, known as hobelars, who acted as a vanguard by harassing the enemy, clearing ambushes, and dismounting to fight battles on foot. Not only would the chariots or cavalry protect the kern while they stole the cattle, but they also did most of the actual fighting, while the kern simply rustled the cattle and occasionally acted as light infantry skirmishers.

The Gaels tended to be experts in guerrilla ambush, constructing forts in the woods to be used as hidden supply bases which were connected by secret cleared paths. The armies would move through the woods at great speed and frequently avoid open battle. Instead, the Gaels preferred to use harassing tactics. Offensively, they would plunder the countryside; defensively, they would evacuate civilians into the woods and harass the attacker, mostly with darts, javelins, and stones. Close quarters combat was avoided until there was a clear advantage, and cavalry or chariots always dismounted for it. Ambushes were frequently laid for advancing armies in wooded areas, at river-crossings, in valleys, and in any other place where it might be convenient. The Gaels also enjoyed a reputation for night attacks and stealth. This is not to say that the Gael completely avoided set piece battles, for they frequently did have pitched battles, mostly against each other while denying that honor to foreign hosts which they deemed too heavily armed and numerous.

Adaptations

As time went on, the Gaels began intensifying their raids and colonies in Roman Britain (c. 200-500 AD). Naval forces were necessary for this, and, as a result, large numbers of small boats, called curraghs, were employed. Chariots and horses were transported across the sea to fight, but, because Gaelic forces were so frequently at sea (especially the Dal Riada/Scots), weaponry had to change. Javelins and slings became more uncommon, as they required too much space to launch, which the small curraghs did not allow. Instead, more and more Gaels were armed with bows and arrows. The Dal Riada, for example, after colonizing the west of Scotland and becoming a maritime power, became an army composed completely of archers. Slings also went out of use, replaced by both bows and a very effective naval weapon called the staffsling (Gael: Cranntabhaill). Later, the Gaels realized (probably learning from the Anglo-Saxons, whom they contacted in Britain), that the use of cavalry, as opposed to chariots, was cheaper, and by the 7th century AD, chariots had disappeared from Ireland and had been replaced by cavalry. Later, when the Gaels came into contact with the Vikings, they realized the need for heavier weaponry, so as to make hacking through the much larger Norse shields and heavy mail-coats possible. Heavier hacking-swords became more frequent, as did helmets and mail-coats. The Gael also learned how to use the double-handed Danish axe, wielded by the Vikings. Irish and Scottish infantry troops fighting with axes and armor, in addition to their own native darts and bows, were later known as "Gall oglaigh" (English: Galloglass), or "foreign gaels", and formed an important part of Gaelic armies in the future. The coming of the Normans into Ireland several hundred years later also forced the Irish to use an increasingly large number of more-heavily armored Galloglaigh and cavalry to effectively deal with the mail-clad Normans.

Exported Gaelic Warfare

Norse-Gaelic mercenaries

See main article: Gallowglass

The most prolific Norse legacy in general Gaelic war though is the creation of the gall-glaich (Scottish Gaelic) or gall-glaigh (Irish), the Norse-Gaelic mercenaries who inhabited the Hebrides. They fought and trained in a combination of Gaelic and Norse techniques, and were highly valued; they were hired by everyone in Britain at different times, though most famously the Irish, who hired exponentially more of them than anyone else. The French also found need of hiring them. They often opted to hire Irish- and Scotsmen to assist them in their conflicts. Additionally, both the English and French hired Gaelic horsemen, called hobelars, the concepts of which were copied by both nations.

Later Weaponry

During the late Middle ages and Renaissance, weapon imports from Europe had an impact on Gaelic weapon design. Take for example the German zweihander sword, a long double-handed weapon used for quick, powerful cuts and thrusts. Irish swords were copied from these models, which had unique furnishings. Many, for example, often featured open rings on the pommel. On any locally designed Irish sword in the Middle Ages, this meant you could see the end of the tang go through the pommel and cap the end. These swords were often of very fine construction and quality. Scottish swords continued to use the more traditional "V" cross-guards that had been on pre-Norse Gaelic swords, culminating in such pieces as the now famous "claymore" design. This was an outgrowth of numerous earlier designs, and has become a symbol of Scotland. The claymore was used together with the typical axes of the galloglaigh until the 18th century, but began to be replaced by pistols and muskets. Also increasingly common at that time were basket-hilted swords, shorter versions of the claymore which were used with one hand in conjunction with a shield. These basket-hilted broadswords are still a symbol of Scotland to this day, as is the typical shield known as a "targe."

Legend of the Wu-Tang Clan: Wu-Tang Clan's... $7.99 Full title: Legend of the Wu-Tang Clan: Wu-Tang Clan's Greatest Hits.Wu-Tang Clan records have always reflected the kaleidoscopic nature of the group itself, which consists of nine members, each with at least three identities of their own. It's no surprise, then, that Wu-Tang albums vibrate with the energy of a raucous crowd, as unpredictable rhymes gust back and forth. The collective of NYC-area rappers banded together as a unit to most effectively launch solo records, with 1993's ENTER THE WU-TANG (36 CHAMBERS) acting as the springboard. While many classic albums have emerged from the pact (including Method Man's TICAL and Ghostface Killah's SUPREME CLIENTELE), when the group comes together, something wonderfully chaotic ensues.Fittingly, Wu-Tang Clan's first hits record, LEGEND OF THE WU-TANG, has a wandering nature, with remixes thrown in haphazardly, adding to the anything-can-happen feel always surrounding the outfit. The album opens with the three tracks that began its reign, "C.R.E.A.M.," "Method Man," and "Protect Ya Neck," the latter two intriguingly reworked. Elsewhere, two of the unit's finest mid-career singles--"Triumph" and "Gravel Pit"--are placed back-to-back. As a whole, the collection is a reminder of the excitement and genius that has made the group so enduring.
