TheIrish annalists were a lesson to all with their division of
Norse invaders into White Foreigners, Norwegians(Finn-gaill), and
Black Foreigners, Danes(Dubh-gaill), but it was a lesson no one
heeded; nor do we know why they
distinguished them by colour.See A HISTORY OF THE VIKINGS by
Gwyn Jones(1968)
TheWelsh chroniclers, for example, made no such clear
distinction. The Danes coming in by way of England and the
Norwegians by way of Ireland were pretty well all black: Black
Gentiles(y Kenedloed Duon), Black Norsemen(y
Normanyeit Duon), Black Host, Pagans, Devils and the
like.(CONT.)See A HISTORY OF THE VIKINGS by Gwyn Jones(1968)
