Medieval Text Resolves Mystery of Viking-Irish Battle
Medieval Text Resolves Mystery of Viking-Irish Battle The famous Irish king, Brian Boru, is widely credited with defeating the Vikings at the Battle of Clontarf more than 1,000 years ago. But not everyone heaps praise on the king. For the past 300 years, historians have cast doubt on whether Boru’s main enemies were the Vikings, or his own countrymen. Perhaps, say these so-called revisionists, the Battle of Clontarf was actually a domestic feud — that is, a civil war — between different parts of Ireland. https://www.livescience.com/61507-vi...eval-text.html |
