The protestant minority living in the 26 counties in 1932 watched this event, and felt uncomfortable, as the 26 counties was going to have it's social policy laid down from Rome and not from Dublin. Ireland's 26 counties replaced one monarchy for another. Kicked out the British and brought in the Vatican army instead
The MacGiollaPhadrigs, Fitzpatricks, who ran Ossary, refused to fight in Dublin the got the Vikings on the road to Wexford it was a revenge for one of their own getting killed in Waterford or Wexford. Cearbhall Mac Giolla is the only high king in Annals outside Ireland. Be careful what you believe here, O'Brians, or O'Briens, think about it....
To be fair, Sigurd the Stout(Jarl of the Orkneys who participated in and died at the battle of Clontarf) was forced to convert to Christianity by Olaf Tyggvasson at the end of the 10th century, along with all of his people. I'm sure many of the other Norse and Norse-Gael rulers in Ireland were forced to convert as well. And while they continued to be nominally Christian after Olaf's death for largely political purposes, that wasn't necessarily the case in private. After all, we know that Sigurd flew the raven banner in battle and on his ships, an overt symbol of Óðinn. All I'm saying is that the portrayal of Brian Boru as a Christian king fighting against the Pagans isn't completely ridiculous. Great video though. 👍
2:25 sorry if you think it's silly, but I'm French, and not used to your pronunciation. my subtitles tell you speak of "email", am I correct in translating to Ui Neill?
I wanted to be in Dublin for Good Friday 2014, but unfortunately couldn't... beside, little question, At the beginning, when you mention, and show the Book of Armagh, I notice the signature, because it's in red, but the letters are very strange, what style of writing was this?
The fact that this was part of ireland back in 1800 eds amazing there such little intrest in it todday there are local hse or doctors despencries and general hospitals one thing in common the hospitals are still overcrowded

Thank you for this fascinating educational session on an aspect of history that needs just this sort of exposure, and for recording and uploading it. Shows that fundamental research is being conducted and deserves widespread exposure.

super interesting stuff to im imagining no less than 25% of the country I live in and thats nearly 85 million people whose at least half their family tree starts in Ireland , you could make a little longer version for people who love these facts , but your I realize your professors and have little time for that. Sounds like you guys know a lot of super cool information about the most interesting , beautiful, kind culture on Earth.
