Viking Invasion of Ireland 495-1014 with Sean Murphy

Presented by Cultural Center of Cape Cod at Cultural Center of Cape Cod, South Yarmouth MA

Nov 01 - 29 2017

The course will cover the history of Viking invasions of Ireland starting in 795. The initial contact with Ireland involved looting and taking people as slaves. Later the Vikings came to settle and claim the fertile soil of Ireland. Groups from different parts of Scandinavia came to Ireland and fought each other for control in Ireland. The Irish clans fought back and in the famous Battle of Contarf in 1014 they finally defeated the Vikings under the leadership of High King Brian Boru.
