Brian Boru and the Battle of Clontarfoffers a new interpretation of the role of the Vikings in Irish affairs and explains how Brian emerged from obscurity to attain the high-kingship of Ireland because of his exploitation of the Viking presence.

‘I cannot recommend enough Seán Duffy’s book for its readability and the enormity of backbreaking historical scholarship lightly borne and compellingly presented’

-- Dr Pat Wallace, Director Emeritus of the National Museum of Ireland
