	Clontarf Online - Clontarf A History
		Clontarf is familiar to Irishmen everywhere from its association with the defeat of the Vikings by Brian Boroimhe in 1014.
		The Battle of Clontarf of Good Friday, 1014 was fought along the banks of the River Tolca from Glasnevin to Ballybough, but as the Vikings summoned by Sitric to his aid had beached their boats on the strand of Clontarf, it was here that their final rout was accomplished.
		The old Protestant Church which had served Clontarf from 1609 was replaced in 1866 by the new Church of St. John the Baptist on Seafield Road, and in 1890 Clontarf Presbyterian Church was opened at the corner of the Howth and Clontarf Roads.

	The Battle of Clontarf
		Clontarf was a victory for the native side; Hastings, fought for the defence of England half a century later, was-on the same analysis-a defeat.
		Since Clontarf ended in the tumbling of the Norsemen into the sea, and since Ireland experienced no more Viking raids after 1014, we regard it as the repulse of an invasion; but it was that only in a minor degree.
		By their action in opposing Brian at Clontarf they sought to destroy the unity of Ireland which he had envisaged ten years previously when, at a solemn moment in the church at Armagh, he declared himself Emperor of the Gael.

	Vikings in Ireland
		At the time the Vikings first arrived in Ireland, the land was nominally ruled over by the Árd Rí, or High King of the Irish, but was in truth a warring collection of petty kingdoms which gave lip service only to the ceremonial overlordship of the Ui-Naill.
		The petty kings of Ireland, busy warring among themselves and jockeying for power or a few more cattle, ultimately were the cause of the Vikings' great successes in Ireland, and the divisiveness of the small Irish kingdoms with their many rivalries ensured the Celts' downfall.
		The first of the "Kings of all the Northmen in Ireland" was a man named Óláfr, a relative of the Norse kings of the Scottish Islands and the Hebrides, and remotely related to certain prominent Icelanders.

	Brian Boru, Clontarf and Dynastic Upheaval in Ireland
		Ireland in the 10th century had been dominated by the power of the Uí Néill but, curiously, it was their own zealousness that led to the rise of their most effective opponent in the race for the High Kingship.
		In legend, the Battle of Clontarf has become one of the most famous in Irish history because it is seen as part of a national struggle, marking the expulsion of the Viking invader.
		The next 150 years in Ireland, from Clontarf in 1014 to the coming of the Normans in the second half of the 1100's saw an unprecedented phase of dynastic warfare and general upheaval in Ireland.
