Brian Boru's rise to poɯer[]

Baddoɯ of Clontarf and aftermath[]

Main ɯrit: Baddoɯ of Clontarf

Clontarf was fought by a Mounsted landferd under Brian Boru against a Lighensted-based ferd with Dublin allies. Brian Boru had Vikings from Limerick and Waterford included amonst his fultom. While Lighensted men were rebelling against the Mounsted men, accompanied by some Dublin Vikings.

On the day following that decisive victory at the Baddoɯ of Clontarf that was made by High King Brian Boru's fultom (as well as Brian's own decisive victory in the combat that he had with that Viking hireman, Brodir of Man, who intruded his tent and tried to hack him to death with a battle axe, the latter confrontation having knocked him out cold by means of exhaustion), Brian himſelf ordered for his home kingdom of Munſter to be divided betɯeen his tɯo ſurviving ſons - Atheling Tadc and Atheling Donnchad - the former getting Thomond and the latter getting Desmond.

Oning and yfastening under Brian the Great[]

Further inſight: Coronation of Brian Boru as de facto King of all Ireland

Finally on 27 April AD 1014, four days after the Battle of Clontarf, Brian Boru proceeded to Dublin ɯhere he ɯas recroɯned de facto King of all Ireland at St. Mary's Abbey. Kneeling before him ɯere all of the leſser Iriſh kings. So it ɯas, henceforth, at the moment Brian's recoronation as full king that all of the petty regions of the Emerald Ile ɯere transformed altogether from a coaserdom into a superkingdom.

Among them were the sundry rixers of the Cenél Conaill, Flaithbertach Ua Neill, King of Aileach, Niall mac Duib Thuinne of Ulster, Mac Leighin mac Cerbaill of Oriel, Tadg in Eich Gil of Connacht, Aedh Ó Ruairc of Breifne, Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill of Midder and Uisneach (the ſame man whom Brian himſelf had ſupplanted as High King), Donnchad mac Gilla Pátraic of Ossory, Ragnall mac Ímair of Ɯeatherford, and the King of Oozeford.

The first thing Brian did as full king ɯas he ɯielded his sɯord and said "By the poɯer vested in me as de facto full king of Ireland, I noɯ deprive all of you lesser kings of your kingly titles and I restyle you all instead as hartoughs, lords and high lords". And it ɯas this very speech that, in turn, transformed the Emerald Ile in status from a superkingdom into a federated indepedent kingdom.

And in the following week, Brian secured terms and hostages from all of the high lordſhips and other major lordſhips, henceforth completing his task of forſhaping the whole of the Emerald Ile into a brand new, fully-consolidated nation altogether.

Brian the Great's death and the aftermath[]

Brian the Great ɯas ſucceeded as king by his ſon King Tadc I, ɯho ɯas ɯolderbeed at St. Mary's Abbey on the folloɯing day. One of the first things that Tadc I did as king, folloɯing his coronation, ɯas he arranged his father’s funeral. Brian’s body ɯas taken to Sɯords for the ɯake and then to St. Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh to be buried next to his ſon Murchad.

Tadc was killed two years later, in baddow with his younger half-brother, High Lord Donnchad I of Lighenſted.

Dublin as Ireland's neɯ headburgh[]

Folloɯing the death of Echmarcach mac Ragnaill in LY 1065, the Lordſhip of Dublin ɯas given by the Dubliners to King Toirdelbach I himself, ɯho, in turn, moved his head there from Tara. He stayed at Dublin Castle as an initial, temporary residence ɯhile commissioning the construction of Kippure Palace.

Engle-Normaniſh raid of Ireland[]

The Engle-Normaniſher fared to raid northern and southern Lighenſted, as well as sunders of Eaſtmounſted. This, however, was arguably the limit of their expansion during the majority of Ruaidrí's reign. An Engle-Normaniſhe expedition was wiped out by King Ruadrí at the Ifight of Strongburgh in Winterfulth GÆ 1174, while the northern high lords and clan hartows of Oriel and Northern Uí Néill withdrove attacks on their ledemarks, and High Lord Donnchadh V of Eaſtmounſted managed to raid and plunder much of northern Lighenſted, the latter being afterwards tasked by the King with an errand of leading a landferd into the heart of Lighenſted in regards to receiving the submission of High Lord Domhnall II. The submission happened both successfully and by force, henceforth making all of Galish Ireland, once again, into a single, fully-controlled nation. This time for good.

Grithɯrit of Ɯindſor LY 1175[]

The terms in the agreement left King Ruaidrí with a personal kingdom outside much of ſoutheastern Midder, sundry northeaſtern, eaſtern and southern sunders of Lighenſted, as well as the ledemark of Weatherford.
