Abstract:		 Reassessment of the reasons why John de Courcy conquered and settled twelfth-century Ulster (Cos Antrim and Down) instead of Co Louth - the logical next step in the Anglo- Norman conquest of Ireland following the occupation of Meath. This choice of territorial conquest is explained in the context of John de Courcy's hitherto unrecognised familial connections with northwestern England (especially Cumbria) which is geographically close to east Ulster. Many of de Courcy's followers also came from northern England, while six of his seven monastic foundations were daughter-houses of north English monasteries. In addition, Cumbria was culturally still strongly Gaelic in the twelfth century (so Ulster society would not have been so alien to the colonists), while a marital alliance with the royal family of the Isle of Man (an enemy of the native rulers of Ulster) aided de Courcy in his conquest.
