Winners and Losers at the Battle of Clontarf with Dr Denis Casey
The Battle of Clontarf (1014) was one of those unique and dividing moments in Irish History, but how much do we know about it?
The traditional narrative of this event places the Irish fighting against the Norse invaders who held Dublin. Still, in this episode, Dr Denis Casey https://deniscasey.com/ shows us that this hypothesis is not entirely true.
Brian Boru, king of Ireland and killed at the battle, achieved heroic status in the Irish imaginary, but how did this story come to be? Join Niamh and Dr Denis Casey in this investigation.
