	Irish Hammered Coinage (~995 to ~1660)
		The first locally produced Irish coinage was the so-called Hiberno-Norse coinage which was first minted in Dublin in about 995 AD under the authority of Sithric III (aka Sithric Silkbeard), the Norse king of Dublin.
		The primary purpose of this coinage was to drain Ireland of silver (as the coins were of the same standard as the contemporary English coinage) to support the French campaigns of the King.
		This hoard and the other surviving specimens of this coinage make it the medieval coinage of which the greatest percentage of coins struck are known to survive.

	Brian Boru - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In response, King Brian assembled the forces of the Province of Munster with the intention of laying siege to the Hiberno-Norse city of Dublin, which was ruled by Mael Mordha's ally and cousin, Sitric 'Silkbeard'.
		Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig, better known as Brian Boru, was the High King of Ireland and probably born (near Killaloe in modern County Clare) in 941, though alternate dates are offered by different sources.
		The origin of his cognomen Boru or Boruma (Tributes) is believed to relate to a crossing point on the river Shannon where a cattle-tribute was driven from his sept, the Dal Cais to the larger sept to which they owed allegiance, the Eoganacht.

	Viking Waterford
		NRA reports based on excavations in April and August 2003 suggest that the site at Woodstown is a defended, riverside settlement with associated industrial-type activity, most likely dating within the Hiberno-Norse/Early Medieval periods - 800 to 1000 AD The Journal of the Waterford Archaeological and Historical Society.
		Woodstown is setting the national standard for the provision of public information and the fact that both the NRA and the Heritage Council are sponsoring the Woodstown exhibition is a recognition of this.
		Radiocarbon dates from the ditch surrounding Woodstown may imply that the site was originally founded by the local Déise at the time of St Patrick, long before the Vikings appeared in Ireland.

	BRIAN BORU FACTS AND INFORMATION
		In response, King Brian assembled the forces of the Province of Munster with the intention of laying siege to the Hiberno-Norse city of Dublin, which was ruled by Mael Mordha's ally and cousin, Sigtrygg_Silkbeard.
		The following year the King of the province of Leinster rebelled against Boru's authority and, although his forces were decisively defeated in 1014 at the Battle_of_Clontarf, Boru was killed along with most of the leaders of province of Munster.
		The Provinces of Meath and Connacht were separated by the Shannon River, which served as both a route by which King Brian's naval forces could attack the shores of either province and as a barrier to the two rulers providing mutual support for each other.

		Mary's stood on the eastern side of Oxmantown, the suburb settled by Hiberno-Norse refugees ( Osimen) from the main town after the Anglo-Normans, accompanied by King Diarmait Mac Murchada, captured Dublin on 21 September 1170.

	History of Dublin
		The Hiberno-Norse were re-settled north of the Liffey at Oxmantown, and the city was granted a municipal charter (1172).
		Furthermore, it was strategic as a port at the meeting of the Liffey and the ocean, in the large semi-circular, eastern bay.
		The other, Dubh Linn, translated as "black pool," is thought to have been located at the meeting point of the River Liffey and a small tributary, the Poddle.

	Brian Boru - Psychology Central
		In response, King Brian assembled the forces of the Province of Munster with the intention of laying siege to the Hiberno-Norse city of Dublin, which was ruled by Mael Mordha's ally and cousin, Sigtrygg Silkbeard.
		In contrast to its structure elsewhere, the Christian Church in Ireland was centered, not around the bishops of diocese and archbishops of archdiocese, but rather around monasteries headed by powerful abbots who were members of the royal dynasties of the lands in which their monasteries resided.
		King Brian made it clear that his ambitions had not been satisfied by the compromise of 997 when, in the year 1000, he led a combined Munster-Leinster-Dublin army in an attack on High-King Mael Sechlainn's home Province of Meath.
