1014: Brian Boru & the Battle for Ireland by Morgan Llywelyn

The date was Good Friday, April 23rd in the Year of Our Lord 1014. The most ferocious battle ever fought in Ireland was about to begin...

In the three decades since Morgan Llyweyln wrote the bestselling novel Lion of Ireland, she has studied the legendary life of Brian Boru, High King of Ireland. Often dismissed as a mythical figure, as all the known facts about him are contained within the several Irish annals. But thirty years of research have led Llyweyln to conclude with certainty that Brian Boru actually lived, a great battle took place in 1014: and Ireland won.

Read about the life of Brian Boru and the battle that changed the course of Irish history in this exciting and accessible account.

1014: Brian Boru & the Battle for Ireland Reviews

makes Game of Thrones seem tame ... Llewelyn's account is one of the most readable and dramatic on the subject you will read. She brings the complexities of the Irish chieftain and inheritance systems to life and shows us how decisive the famous battle turned out to be

-- Irish Voice

impeccably researched ... written with the kind of immediacy that brings events to life and draws the reader into the action

-- The Irish Echo

a welcome addition to the literature prompted by the millennial anniversary of the Battle of Clontarf ... a most readable account of the famous battle ... the author brings to life as never before the Battle of Clontarf and the circumstances surrounding it ... it remains the most accessible narrative to date of one of the most famous battles in Irish history

-- The Irish Catholic
