Vikings Vs Irish: Battle of Clontarf 1014 AD | Cinematic

#cinematic #vikings #irish
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.

[@kevinjkelliher]

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.

It wasn't just the beginning of the end of Viking incursions into Ireland but was the beginning of the end for Viking inevitability everywhere. It showed that Vikings could be defeated on a large scale. The psychological superiority of Viking warriors had been broken.

[@TomE-dz3ou]

In truth though, there are those, including experts in viking history, who believe the battle was more a draw than a total victory for Brian boru's forces. The reason presumeably being that the vikings continued to rule in Dublin after the battle and the viking king of Dublin, Sitric, remained as king of the city for over twenty years after the battle. Let us not also forget that there were Irish and vikings fighting on both sides so, strictly speaking, it was not a purely Irish v viking battle.

[@Paddy234]

That is not true about it being a draw. Despite the Norse having a 50% numerical advantage over the Irish they lost. This battle reduced Dublin to become a lesser Kingdom and it led to Dublin being conquered decades later by the King of Leinster. This battle led to the entire downfall of Norse presence in Ireland which had to he removed by force

[@AndrewTheMandrew531]

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.

[@boudjemairachid9847]

J aime les Celtes et les Vikings. Les Celtes defendaient leurs terres mais les Vikings Voulaient l Europe et meme l' Afrique du Nord. Ils ont aussi ètè battus par les Musulmans au large du Portugal. O En fait dans bataille combien ils ètaient? Si d un côté des forces de 100 000 guerriers (les CELTES) et de l autre ( Les VIKINGS) 20 000 ou 30 000 ce n est pas la même chosevet surtout à cette èpoque. Ça peu aussi ne rien signifie le nombre. Les Grecs et les 300 où les Perses perdirent beaucoup de soldats mais à la fin ce sont les PERSES qui gagnent la bataille des THERMOPILES. Ou enconre à la Bataille de TALAS en 751 où les ARABES avec 40 000 guerriers battirent l armèe Chinoise forte de 200 000 soit 5 fois superieure en nombre.

[@TheAvarusAnimus]

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!

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.

[@Do-not-be-sheep]

The ships are way way too big!

[@phunkeehone]

They do look a little over dimensioned, no argument there. But maybe it isn't that far from it either. The largest viking ship found so far is a little over 37 m long and 3.5-4 meters at the widest point. With a depth of 1 meter into the water. It could carry around 100 men, and some of them are said to be able to carry up to 120 tons of cargo. That would take quite a ship.

[@Do-not-be-sheep]

@@phunkeehone You're correct but those super sized, long boats were rare and built by Kings or powerful Earls as their personal warship. One of the things not discussed very often is the fragility of long boats. They were designed as coastal raiders crossing the open ocean carried very high risks. An example was the crossing of the first settlers from Iceland to Greenland - more than half the ships were lost along the way. The sagas are full of stories of long boats lost at sea due to sea worms and rough seas. It required enormous courage to get into a long boat for an open ocean voyage.

[@palnagok1720]

How big are viking ships supposed to be ? They had small boats.These look like trading vessels.

Greetings from Dublin .. this was not a viking raid ... but an attempt by the Dublin norse to stop the Irish high king Brian Boru .. the numbers look ridiculous but its estimated 15 to maybe 20 thousand were involved .. most of the Irish tribes were involved that day in 1014

[@johndanielharold3633]

It was agreed it would be an old-style battle based on ancient "Doorpost" battling, which involved opposing champions and their followers seeking each other out in toe-to-toe combat. Although the Vikings lost, such was their high regard for the battle that Normans who could claim an ancestor in the battle were automatically granted the status of nobility.
