The Battle of Clontarf (Irish: Cath Chluain Tarbh) took place on 23 April 1014 at Clontarf, near Dublin, on the east coast of Ireland. It pitted an army led by Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, against a Norse-Irish alliance comprising the forces of Sigtrygg Silkbeard, King of Dublin; Máel Mórda mac Murchada, King of Leinster; and a Viking army from abroad led by Sigurd of Orkney and Brodir of Mann. It lasted from sunrise to sunset, and ended in a rout of the Viking and Leinster armies.

How dare those Vikings try to invade Ireland 🇮🇪

I Live in Clontarf. A promenade in front of the sea has various points that show where the battle took place. Fascinating to see it come to life. Well done on the incredible detail, the music and the narrative, I really enjoy your videos!
-
Brian Boru. The man himself.
-
A battle that lasted from daylight to dusk, this would not have been one long continuous battle but a series of engagements with parts of the army withdrawing back to rest and recover before re-engaging in combat again. The loss of so much leadership, indicates that they aroused and lead their men back into combat after yet another engagement. This made them vulnerable to dying.

Excellent presentation!👍 Many thanks for your attention to detail and the long hours to produce this video! 👏👍

Narrator: It was very loud and exceptionally bloody Ok... How bloody are we talking about- HOLY HECK THAT'S BLOODY!

The last Celtic Country.

Those poor dogs never stood a chance!

It’s always good to see a battle where the defenders protect their homes and families. The invaders can just run back to their ships, meanwhile if the defenders retreat, they may have no home to go back to afterwards.

Nice to see but wholly inaccurate. Brian Boru was in his 70's at the time, wasn't on the battlefield at all by most accounts. It was a long drawn out battle, with many, many smaller skirmishes occurring across the county, city etc. The slaughtering and drowning of the "foreigners" in the high tide occurred also as they retreated. Many things happened that day that are not represented here but any reference to Irish history is a bonus!
-
Great video, loved it, Brian Borou was actually in his late 70s at that time.

I’m not Irish or Scandinavian, but I do enjoy this era of history. I have found after doing a little research, that the Vikings seem to have lost A LOT of battles against the Irish! Those Norseman were certainly brave to keep going back there, because there was no mercy if they found themselves on the wrong side of a clash, and having to retreat 30 km back to one of their fortified towns, all the while being harassed and picked apart by the swarming, enraged Gaels.

Danke schön für dieses Viedeo und dort gibt es sehr toll Animationen!

Love the channel and the content keep it up bro!
-
Seems that was quite a bloody affair and your vid depicted that quite well.💯👍
-
Cool sound of swords and spears poking and slicing and cutting and shields clashing must of been horrific back then ...enjoyed watching.
-
This was great! Excellent music choices and historical narrative. Loved every minute of this. Ty for sharing this important piece of history. What was the name of the song by farya

Irish Celtic Shields were mainly long oval in shape, but did use round shields as well.🇮🇪☘🇮🇪☘🇮🇪☘

great cinematic battle, your videos are getting better and better ! (out of pure curiosity, i was wondering; it's a very recurrent thing in your videos, why do you censor "beheading animations"? )
