This paperback edition spans 368 pages and offers a thoughtful reassessment of the legendary Irish High King Brian Boru and his pivotal role in the Battle of Clontarf (1014). Professor Duffy explores Brian's rise from obscurity, his strategic engagement with Viking forces, and the enduring legacy of his reign. Drawing on meticulous scholarship and accessible narrative, the book reframes the battle not simply as a clash between Gaelic and Viking but as a decisive moment that prevented a larger Viking offensive in Ireland. A compelling read for students, general readers, and anyone intrigued by medieval Irish history.
