and its this fragmentation that is the crux of the story where a unifying crown is sought to unite the Irish against the invaders (the Fin Gal – Norwegians & the Dubh Gal – Danes, as they name them in Gaelic) & ALL concerned are after said item. however in Ireland it seems to have followed a diffo tact as we have Danes pitted against Norwegians & Irish against Irish, mind thats always been the way (for the Irish) as the isle was made up of hundreds of kingdoms at its conception. In most stories with Vikings they all stick together as they follow the Norse gods against the White Christ followers. With enemies at every hand, and loyalties as fickle as the weather, Thorgrim must lead his men, the white invaders, the Fin Gall, in the fight of their lives, with both Irish and Dane eager to see them dead.īe warned you do get bombarded with a lotta names early doors especially of the Gaelic variety which might be a tad daunting at first for some as the story darts about but it soon settles so bare with it I say as the factions become apparent quite quickly. Soon the Norsemen are plunged into the violence and intrigue of Medieval Ireland, where local kings fight with each other and with the invaders from the north for rule of the island nation. The Vikings eagerly snatch the prize, unaware of its significance to the people of Ireland and the power granted to the king who wears it. En route to the Viking longphort there, known as Dubh-Linn, Thorgrim Night Wolf and Ornolf the Restless stumble across an Irish ship that carries aboard it a single item - a crown.
Such was the case in the southern lands of Ireland. They came at first to plunder, and then to settle, an encroachment fiercely resisted where ever they went. Few could resist the power of their violent onslaught.
For decades the Vikings have swept out of the Norse countries and fallen on England, Ireland, whatever lands they could reach aboard their longships.
