Brian Boru and the Battle of Clontarf: A Ballad is a book written by Rebecca Helena Hime that tells the story of the legendary Irish king, Brian Boru, and his most famous battle, the Battle of Clontarf. The book is written in the form of a ballad, a type of poem that tells a story through song. The story begins with Brian Boru, a powerful king who united the Irish tribes and established a period of peace and prosperity in Ireland. However, his reign was threatened by the Viking invaders who had been raiding the Irish coast for years. The book describes the events leading up to the Battle of Clontarf, which took place in 1014. The Vikings, led by the warrior king Sigtrygg Silkbeard, had formed an alliance with the Irish king Mael Morda, who was jealous of Brian Boru's power. The two armies met on the plains of Clontarf, near Dublin, for a fierce battle that lasted all day. The book describes the bravery of Brian Boru and his warriors, who fought valiantly against the Viking invaders. The battle was won by the Irish, but at a great cost. Brian Boru was killed in the battle, but his legacy lived on. The book ends with a tribute to Brian Boru and his contribution to Irish history. Overall, Brian Boru and the Battle of Clontarf: A Ballad is a captivating retelling of one of the most important battles in Irish history. The book is beautifully written and illustrated, making it a great choice for readers of all ages who are interested in Irish history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
