Viking age Ireland Timeline

- This video covers the period in the history of Ireland from the first Viking raids to the Battle of Clontarf. The first two centuries of this period are characterized by Viking raids and the subsequent Hiberno-scandinavian settlements along the coast. Viking ports were established at Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Cork and Limerick, which became the first large towns in Ireland.
Ireland consisted of many semi-independent territories (túatha), and attempts were made by various factions to gain political control over the whole of the island. For the first two centuries of this period, this was mainly a rivalry between putative High Kings of Ireland from the northern and southern branches of the Uí Néill. The one who came closest to being de facto king over the whole of Ireland, however, was Brian Boru, the first high king in this period not belonging to the Uí Néill.
Following Brian's death at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, the political situation became more complex with rivalry for high kingship from several clans and dynasties. Brian's descendants failed to maintain a unified throne, and regional squabbling over territory led indirectly to the invasion of the Normans under Richard de Clare in 1169.

There were many clergy who wanted to be closer to God... and the Vikings helped them in their quest.
Slainte.
Excellent stuff!
Hahahah that's one way to put it.
Nice Mount And Blade: Viking Conquest reference there with Niall mac Aeda. I'm here to be more informed for a playthrough anyways haha
Great video, I like getting an overview as well as the deep dives into a topic.
Thanks man!! That means ton.
Great video. I think I will have to link this on the Extra Credit's video on Viking Age Ireland because they follow a much more nationalist video. To be fair at the time it was really hard to find good information like this.
Thanks man. Did they? I'll have to watch again. I think I added that one on the playlist as well haha
I am norwegian and I think norwegian vikings love Ireland in many ways.
wow good work
Good stuff mate
Thanks man!
Excellent, as usual.
Thanks man! I hope your doing well!
I'm enjoying this as I'm winding down my birthday.
Nice! Thank you.
@@IrishMedievalHistory yw
What age were u
@@conorfields2660 I just turned 58 I'm old
Where did the clips around 10:33 come from? Brilliant video 🙏🏻
Very good. In Donegal, the name Gallagher- means 'foreign help'- and it's interesting you pointed out the alliance with Vikings and the Northern O'Neil, which would have been around Tir Chonail, Donegal, with Cenal Conaill branch of the Northern O'Neil in power. This branch also relied heavily, much later on, in using Gallowglass warriors from Scotland in their wars with other Irish Dynasties.
Your right and I didn't know about Gallagher meaning foreign help.
@@IrishMedievalHistory Grandad's mother was a Donegal Gallagher. He was a Cannon, this sept of the Northern O'Neil were the Kings of the Northern O'Neil during the time frame of your video. It was Rory O'Cannon who probably had the alliance. But other O'Cannon Kings also defeated Dublin Vikings who crossed the boarder into their territory during the early 9th century. Alliances usually were results of wars.
@@MrResearcher122 That's super interesting now. Haven't done much reading on the Connons yet. Did cover a good bit pf them with my video on the last Irish king of Ireland.
Good video
Thanks so much man!
Np I did read somewhere about battle of clontarf where Anglo Norman mercenary troops were hired to help with the Vikings
@@samuel8265 No, not possible. You can't have Anglo Normans until after 1066.
@@IrishMedievalHistory oh yes stupid me
@@IrishMedievalHistory I may of been thinking of different battle then
I am a descendant of the Maguires- who were apparently part Viking, and served as mercenaries for Brian Boru, against other, later Vikings!
I heard someone say there was a Viking who got left behind and stayed, the locals called him 'the bear', do u know anything about this? It sounds good
I did hear about that. Denton has the source for that. I'll ask him.
@@IrishMedievalHistory excellent
Theres an Irish wave rising
@@consean1349 Dentons new video goes over it.
@@consean1349 I've placed it in the Viking Ireland playlist.
@@IrishMedievalHistory perfect timing thank you my friend
Yeah. I would like to know what these so-called monks were doing with treasure. Perhaps they should have told the Vikings they were tax exempt?
hahahaha maybe they would have lived then.
The Vikings Boru fought were Norwegian aristocracy who had fled Norway when Olav Trygvarson converted the Norse to Christianity. They intended to live in Dublin, 'The New York of the Viking world'. They expected special privileges and lorded it about the place, the Dubliners rebelled and expelled them. Many Dubliners were Hiberno Norse, the Vikings had been there for 200 years. They escaped to Mersey side, the Isle of Man and Iceland, where they not very welcome either.
No mention of wexford. I'm sure it was important for the vikings as its a viking town
it is, but it does its own little thing and is not apart of the bigger Viking age story.
@IrishMedievalHistory is there much info on wexford in the medieval age? I know there is a lot of castles and 2 abbeys in wexford selsker Abbey and tintern Abbey
@@dodgiepodgie1 Hopefully Ill have time to make a video for you.
