The Battle of Dublin- 23rd April 1014

Dublin ... 996 years ago the Norse and the Warriors of the Celtic Realm under the leadership of Great King Brian Boru prepared for a giant battle in Dublin. The Norse had been launching their advances from the Isle of Man. Boru spent many weeks gather the best strength of men to take the Norse on in Battle.
Boru lost his life, but not on the battlefield. (For the whole story check previous posts.)
In 2014 the 1000th Anniversary of this battle will be seen.
Not a bad time to head over to Ireland to see the events that will unfold.
