    🚩 The Battle of Clontarf was a major military encounter that occurred in Ireland in April 1014. The battle is best known for being the culmination of a conflict between the local Irish kingdoms and the Viking forces, which had gained a foothold in Ireland.

  2. So basically Vikings and Irish fighting Irish and Vikings, everybody lost except Sigtrygg who neither won or lost… Describing it as an Irish army against a Viking army is a bit misleading. Surely it can be thought of as the end of the viking age but really it represents how merged the Irish-Norse culture and ethnicity had become; the Vikings simply never left and today all Irish carries some Viking blood within them.

  3. there's a little bit of a skip at the beginning where you switch from the end battle to the set-up of the end battle. I felt this was a bit jolted and I struggled to realise what you had done. I enjoy your work but the editing could be a bit better there. Great series for early school. best regards

  4. Never happened. Love the myth though. A high king and all his sons dying on Good Friday. The king slain in his tent saying his prayers. Just like all the legends that unfolded throughout the millennium that followed. The main players exiting at the crucial moment. Same story, different date
