Dublin was established as a Viking settlement and, despite a number of rebellions by the native Irish, it remained largely under Viking control until the Norman invasion of Ireland was launched from Wales.

Dublin Castle, became the centre of Norman power in Ireland. Dublin prospered as a trade centre, despite an attempt by King Robert I of Scotland to capture the city. It remained a relatively small walled medieval town under constant threat from the surrounding native clans. The Black Death, a lethal plague which had ravaged Europe, took hold in Dublin and killed thousands over the following decade.

Dublin was incorporated into the English Crown as the Pale, a narrow strip of English settlement along the eastern seaboard.

The city also prospered as a result of the wool and linen trade with England.
