'Although the history of the battle [of Clontarf] has often been misrepresented, it is without doubt one of the most important events to have taken place in medieval Ireland. The battle was not just influential iin Irish history; it also had a major impact on the subsequent history of the jarldom of Orkney - a Scandinavian power that lay to the north and west of medieval Scotland. Brian Boru emerges from the pages of this illustrated book, not as the great reforming high-king of legend, but a s a highly ambitious and intelligent monarch, whose steely resolve led his army to victory on the Clontarf battlefield that Good Friday in 1014.'
