	Annalists - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		As a general rule the annalists wrote in a spirit of uncritical patriotism, which led them to minimize or gloss over such disasters as the conquest of Rome by Porsena and the compulsory payment of ransom to the Gauls, and to flatter the people by exaggerated accounts of Roman prowess, dressed up in fanciful language.
		The first of the annalists, the father of Roman history, as he has been called, was Q. Fabius Pictor (see Fabius Pictor); contemporary with him was L. Cincius Alimentus, who flourished during the Hannibalic war.' Like Fabius Pictor, he wrote in Greek.
		Licinius Macer (died 66), who has been called the last of the annalists, wrote a voluminous work, which, although he paid great attention to the study of his authorities, was too rhetorical, and exaggerated the achievements of his own family.

		But here skepticism is in order in reconstructing the nature of the chronicle: 'The first annalists, in utilizing the chronicle, would have accepted their own contemporary impressions as axiomatic, rather than relying on guesses about what they could never know.
		These beliefs of the annalists, in the first instance, governed their use of the chronicle; their histories, in turn, possibly helped shape later beliefs on the chronicle's character.
		From this quite natural confusion, there derived the misleading ancient view that the annalistic tradition was simply a natural outgrowth of the chronicle, part of a single phenomenon metamorphosed from pre-literary into literary form' (pp.

		The details described in the sources on the introduction of this cult and their role in Roman annalistic tradition are investigated.
		It is more likely that a Roman annalist of the Gracchan period established the link between Pergamon and the cult of Magna Mater, influenced by his experience of the Second Carthaginian War and the victory of P. Cornelius Scipio Africanus.
		Berneder shows very well that the writings of Roman annalists should be interpreted with care and that their legends often make their way into modern works on Roman history, being presented as facts rather than fiction.

		The hill, which is situated in the midst of one of the most fertile plains in Ireland, commands a magnificent view of vast extent.
		According to Irish legend it was the chief residence of the Ard-Ri or High King of Ireland from the time of Slainghe, a Fear Bolg, king of Ireland, who reigned according to the annalists from 3266 a.m.
		Ollamh Fodhla, who the annalists date about 3883 A.M., is related to have instituted a triennial convention at Tara, and a yearly assembly was also held there.

	The Infamous Svjatoslav
		The Rus' annalists, however, would have us believe that this overture was not made in good faith, but on the contrary that the Byzantines, given to being deceptive and making falsehoods, had employed deception and "were crafty."23 The Rus' annalists appear to applaud Svjatoslav for his ability to avoid being misled by the mendacious Greeks.
		Svjatoslav's expression of concern and fear of embarrassing the land of Rus' is without doubt an exaggeration, for the Rus' prince had lost interest in his homeland, viewed Kiev with disregard and contempt, and sought fame and fortune elsewhere.
		The Rus' annalists should have correctly interpreted Svjatoslav's statements as an expression of preserving a Varangian tradition of fighting to the death even against overwhelming odds.

		With poroids cato (q.v.) commenced composition in Latin and a livelier interest in native history, which constantly stimulated new efforts to celebrate the deeds of their forefathers.
		Two main characteristics of these annalists are the free use they made of their predecessors, and an inclination to suppress unfavourable facts, which gradually grew into a habit of nattering the national vanity by exaggerations.
		Works dealing in this manner with the whole of Roman history, or large sections of it, continued to be written in Cicero's time.

	Clan McLaughlin
		The McLaughlins and O'Neills were the royal dynasty of the tribe known as the northern Ui Neill, or descendants of Niall 'of the Nine Hostages', whose progeny also included the O'Donnell Kings of Tirconnell, the O Melaghlin Kings of Westmeath (the southern Ui Neill), and the O'Connor Kings of Connacht in western Ireland.
		Domnall 'of Armagh', the grandson of Nial glundubh, the High King of Ireland, was the first to be styled "Ua Neill" by the annalists and the later bearers of this famous surname ruled the north of Ireland until its the final conquest by the English in the 16th century.
		These mercenaries were called "galloglach" by the Irish annalists, or "foreign fighters", heavily-armed, determined warriors armed with the famous Scot battle axe, who proved to be an equal match to the similarly equipped Normans.

		Among later writers we may mention ZoslMUS (in the second half of the 6th century), the author of a history of the emperors, from Augustus to 410 a.d.
		The beginnings of Roman history go back to about 200 B.C. The form of composition was, until the first half of the 1st century b.c., almost exclusively that of annals, and the historians previous to that date are, in consequence, usually comprised under the term annalists.
		(For the special representatives of this style, see annalists.) They confined themselves exclusively to the history of their country in its widest extent, from the earliest times to their own.

	Doyle Clan - Meaning of the name
		The Irish Annalists, referring to the incident, describe the unwelcome arrivals as "dubh-ghaill".
		This was the beginning of more than two centuries of attack and invasion which had devastating effect on Ireland, and on the Irish monasteries in particular.
		In Ireland, the annalists distinguished two groups among the raiding Vikings, the Lochlainn, or Norwegians, and the Danair, or Danes, the Norwegians being described as fair, the Danish as dark (because they wore chain-mail armour).

		Alcuin of York, writing to the king of Northumbria, Britain, told "never..was it thought that such an inroad could be made from the sea," indicating the surprise nature of these hit and run attacks.
		Other annalists described raids perpetrated by "Danes." Although it is unlikely they were all from Denmark, this helped historians identify that the raiders were seaborne Scandinavian pirates - essentially our modern definition of Vikings today.
		This may explain why only English historians used that term, whereas other annalists writing from the continent identify the raiders as Northmen, Danes or heathers, since it was these Vikings who attacked their lands.

	CHAPTER X - ANNALS, HISTORIES, AND GENEALOGIES.
		AMONG the various classes of persons who devoted themselves to literature in ancient Ireland, there were special Annalists, who made it their business to record, with the utmost accuracy, all remarkable events simply and briefly, without any ornament of language, without exaggeration, and without fictitious embellishment.
		As a general rule they admitted nothing into their records except either what occurred during their lifetime, and which may be said to have come under their own personal knowledge, or what they found recorded in the compilations of previous annalists, who had themselves followed the samc plan.
		These men took nothing on hearsay: and in this manner successive annalists carried on a continued chronicle from age to age, thus giving the whole series the force of contemporary testimony.

		Thus far, may all who have opportunity safely do whatever is within their capacity, to supply the first sketches of biographers and annalists with the various shades and tints of a more complete representation.

		Of course, if credit were to be given to forged saints’ lives, marvellous legends, and interpolated passages in the ancient annalists, the following glowing picture of the condition of Ireland previous to the twelfth century might be accepted as truthful.
		According to what is affirmed to be ancient native legends, Ireland was in remote times peopled by tribes called, Firbolgs, and Tuath de Danan; and these are said to have been subdued by Milesians or Gaels, who ultimately acquired supreme power in the island.
		To this period also has been ascribed the origin of the peculiar style of artornamentation, specimens of which are still extant in the illuminated manuscripts in the library of Trinity College, Dublin.

		The new-comers represented a different branch of the Scandinavian stock, and are called by the annalists Dubh Gaill, or the Dark Strangers.
		For some time after their arrival the story of Ireland is a succession of struggles between the two opposite elements in the Scandinavian immigration; but about the middle of the ninth century this antagonism terminated in the general recognition of Aulaf or Olaf the White by all sections of the invaders.

		Muirchertach 'of the leather cloaks,' the son of Niall Glundubh, was King of Aileach, as was his son, Domnall Ua Neill, styled 'of Armagh' by the annalists.

		This claim of the O'Donnells to the Inishowen peninsula, recognised by the annalists at the death of Maoilseachlainn O'Donnell in 1247, was curiously unopposed by the victorious O'Neill chieftains of the Cinel Eoghainn until years later, although the annals of succeeding centuries are rife with their later attempts to reclaim the peninsula from the O'Donnells.

		This may broadly be called an historical work, but it was history treated in a style of great latitude, the meagre, disconnected method of the annalists alternating with digressions into all kinds of subjects-- geography, ethnography, reminiscences of his own travels and experiences, and the politics and social life of his own and earlier times.
		His work differed from those of the earlier annalists in passing over the legendary period, and beginning with the earliest authentic documents; in research and critical judgment it reached a point only excelled by Sallust.
		His style was formed on that of older annalists, and is therefore somewhat archaic for the period, Considerable fragments, including the well-known description of the single combat in 361 B.C. between Titus Manlius Torquatus and the Gallic chief, survive in quotations by Aulus Gellius and the archaists of the later Empire.

		These early writers were heavily influenced by their Hellenic counterparts, and adaptation of the Greek style is apparent.
		Early works of the Annalists centered on legends and speculative antiquarian history and were often feeble when compared to the prodigious research of later writers, such as the historian Coelius Antipater, who chronicled the Second Punic War.
