About This Book

The study traces Viking activity in Ireland from initial raids through settlement and kingdom-building, recounting campaigns, rivalries among Norse and Danish factions, and events that established urban longphorts such as Dublin. It examines commercial expansion and the growth of seaport towns, shipbuilding and seafaring practices, and cultural exchanges visible in loanwords and place-names. The work also considers interactions with the Irish church and explores how Irish annals and Icelandic sagas record these contacts, organizing military, economic, linguistic, ecclesiastical, and literary dimensions of Scandinavian influence during the Viking period.
