- "Lessee...there was a big haul of Viking gold they say is buried up there on the coast of some land of ice. Don't much like cold, me. I'd rather stay down here in the Caribbean. And there are tales of treasures on magical isles in England and Ireland. Glastonbury, Camelot, Avalon, that sort of thing."
- ―Jack Sparrow to Christophe-Julien de Rapièr
Ireland was the third-largest island in Europe and the twentieth-largest island in the world. It was located to the northwest of continental Europe and was surrounded by hundreds of islands and islets.
To the east of Ireland was Great Britain, separated from it by the Irish Sea. Beginning in the 12th century with an Anglo-Norman invasion, Ireland progressively came under the control of the British Crown, with this process reaching its climax in the Tudor and Cromwellian conquests. During the early modern period, Ireland witnessed many rebellions against British rule, though they were ultimately suppressed. By 1750, Ireland was ruled by King George II, though real power laid within the British administration in Ireland.
