Slaughter at the Rock of Dunamase | Treasure Ireland

Like so many of our great monuments, the Rock of Dunamase doesn't just tell us one story, but many, with its various layers bringing us all the way back to the ninth century, and beyond.
CORRECTION: We accidentally said this castle was given to Aoife, and we should have said it was given by Aoife, to Strongbow.

I greatly enjoy your stories. I am in South Africa. Along with hundreds of other South Africans I was educated by Jrish nuns.

So interesting to here these stories of our past generations that keep the Faith alive for our benefit. God Bless you’re work.

Why does everyone focus on the tragedy? This place was the center of Gael society before invaders brought violence and their religion of death. Stongbow was a hero to his people and the Catholics continue to drag his name through the mud to this day…
