Book Synopsis
In 1014, at the famous Battle of Clontarf, the High King of Ireland, Brian Boru, in conjunction with the provincial chiefs, defeated the colonizing Norsemen in a decisive battle which ended their efforts to conquer Ireland. At this time Clontarf was open countryside bordered by the Irish Sea. In the 1,000 years that followed, Clontarf has grown and thrived into a modern urban centre, yet tranquil and proud of its heritage. In this work, best-selling author Joe Curtis explores that history in an accessible, visual narrative, including archive photographs, postcards and records.
