    “Máel
Mórda Treason: The battle of Clontarf”

 

  In the early 1000s, Brian Boru,
High King of the Irish, worked to unite all of the provinces of
Ireland under his rule. By 1011, he had succeeded in achieving his
goal, though several regional rulers submitted with great
reluctance…

The King of Leinster, Máel
Mórda mac Murchada, rose in revolt in 1012. This was not the
first time that Máel Mórda had rebelled and Brian
moved to quickly destroy Leinster’s forces. Campaigning in 1013,
Brian’s forces marched into Leinster, while his son, Murchad,
ravaged the southern part of the province.

Reuniting outside of Dublin, they
unsuccessfully laid siege to the city and were forced to withdrawal
around Christmas. Realizing that aid would be needed to continue
the rebellion, Máel Mórda sent his cousin Sigtrygg
Silkbeard, the Viking king of Dublin, to find help overseas.
Sailing the Orkneys, he was able to enlist support from the Earl of
Orkney, Sigurd Lodvesson. The earl then convinced the leader of the
Isle of Man, Brodir, to join the cause. As the Vikings converged on
Dublin, Brian raised his army…

 

Can you say “REVOLT”, these are
things that are unheard of in our homeland of Japan, granted we may
have Treachery but never Revolts!

 

The Great Barony of Wealdsmere invites one
and all to this Special Occasion with Epic battles, Irish, Celts
and Vikings, oh mine!
