Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the best known events and figures in Irish history. In 1014 Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, defeated the Hiberno-Norse forces of Sigtrygg Silkbeard and allies near their Dublin stronghold, with Brian losing his life on the day of battle. Soon chroniclers in Ireland and abroad were recording and retelling the events, raising the status of Brian Boru as one who sacrificed himself for Ireland, Christ-like, a connection reinforced by the battle taking place on Good Friday. While some of the facts are contested, the Battle of Clontarf became a powerful symbol of what a united Ireland could achieve by force against invaders.WithSeán Duffy Professor of Medieval Irish and Insular History at Trinity College DublinMáire Ní Mhaonaigh Professor of Celtic and Medieval Studies at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St John's College, CambridgeAnd Alex Woolf Professor of Medieval Studies at the University of St AndrewsProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Howard B.

Talking Strange is on the road in Ireland, with host Aaron Sagers collecting history, spooky stories, and folklore along the way. This episode, he's staying at the Clontarf Castle Hotel and connects with historian, author, and storyteller Dennis McIntyre. The modernised hotel has a castle structure dating back to 1837, and there has been a castle on the site since 1172. Clontarf Castle is also near the site of the epic 11th Century Battle of Clontarf, and near the site of the assassination of the First High King of Ireland Brian Baru. The area is also where Dracula author Bram Stoker lived for the first several years of his life. McIntyre — who runs guided tours with Dublin North Bay Tourism, and is the author of Bram Stoker and the Irishness of Dracula — tells us of the ghosts of the castle, as well as the "Ghost Room" where he grew up, and then shares his thoughts as to why Dracula deserves more attention for its Irish connections. Then, Aaron shares some of the ghost stories her learned from his own stay at the Clontarf Castle Hotel — but nothing too terrifying that it should prevent you from staying in, considering it's quite lovely luxurious and the only castle you can sleep in near Dublin.

The Cairn on the Headland is a short story by Robert E. Howard, first published in the January 1933 issue of Strange Tales of Mystery and Terror. The tale follows two American academics, James O’Brien and Ortali, who visit Grimmin’s Cairn, a centuries-old monument at Clontarf, near Dublin, Ireland.

I norrøn mytologi er det ei gruppe på tre kvinner som blir kalla nornene og som representerer fortid, notid og framtid, og som spinn og vev lagnad / skjebne / öde for menneska. Det er i alle fall det vi har lært, det som står i bøkene og på nettet. Grunnlaget er for det synet er dessverre spinkelt når vi sjekkar mot kjeldene. Men nornene er spennande lell. Dei er klårt knytte til fødsel og fødselshjelp, som dei samiske akka-ene. Samtidig overlappar dei med valkyrjene, som rid i krigsmundur over slagmarka og plukkar ut dei som skal falle. Juridisk terminologi dominerer omtalen av dei. Dei feller dom over deg og meg. Men kvifor er lagnaden kvinneleg?

Cricket Hall of Famer Susan Bray terrified batters at home and abroad during her decade at the top. She came into the dominant Clontarf team in her mid-teens and quickly assumed the mantle of the great Stella Owens. She won the Harrison Cup ten times as the leading bowler in Leinster, and in 33 inter-pros, she took 61 wickets at an amazing average of 8.37. Susan was first capped by Ireland as an 18-year-old winning 40 caps - taking 52 wkts at an average of 16.33. Her best return was 7-21 against Netherlands in a 3-day game in 1987, in which she also took 5-35. She also took 5-27 v Denmark in 1990 - all three are still in the best ten performances for Ireland. Her ODI economy rate of 2.15 is still the eighth best of all time, standing beside the best of Australia, England and New Zealand.
The Battle of Clontarf (1014) was one of those unique and dividing moments in Irish History, but how much do we know about it? The traditional narrative of this event places the Irish fighting against the Norse invaders who held Dublin. Still, in this episode, Dr Denis Casey https://deniscasey.com/ shows us that this hypothesis is not entirely true. Brian Boru, king of Ireland and killed at the battle, achieved heroic status in the Irish imaginary, but how did this story come to be? Join Niamh and Dr Denis Casey in this investigation.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Atrapados en la nieve: Crónica de una gira teatral, 1908. Contenido sensible. ABRAHAM STOKER nació el 8 de noviembre de 1847 en Clontarf, hoy un barrio de Dublín (Irlanda), en cuya universidad estudió. La representación en 1871 de una obra de los alsacianos Emile Erckmann y Alexandre Chatrian —autores de Hugo el lobo y otros relatos de terror— motivará la primera colaboración en prensa de Stoker. Fue crítico teatral durante diez años, hasta que sale de Irlanda en el año 1876 como secretario y representante del actor inglés sir Henry Irving, junto al que dirigió el Lyceum Theatre de Londres. Fueron socios hasta la muerte del actor en 1905. Stoker fue autor, entre otros títulos, de los libros de cuentos El país bajo el ocaso (1881), Atrapados en la nieve: crónica de una gira teatral (1908) y póstumamente El invitado de Drácula y otros relatos inquietantes (1914), el libro de memorias Recuerdos personales de Henry Irving (1906) y entre las novelas destaca, muy especialmente, Drácula (1897), obra fundadora del vampiro de Transilvania que ha inspirado a tantos y tantos creadores de todas las artes. La leyenda del vampiro ya existía en varias culturas y disciplinas artísticas, sin embargo, nunca fue tan bien relatada como hizo Stoker. Falleció pobre y olvidado en Londres el 20 de abril de 1912.🖤 Audio y sonido: Olga Paraíso, marca registrada Historias para ser Leídas©️®️ La base musical pertenece a Epidemic Sound con licencia Premium autorizada 🛑BIO Olga Paraíso: https://instabio.cc/Hleidas 📢Nuevo canal informativo en Telegram: https://t.me/historiasparaserleidas ▶️Canal de YouTube Historias para ser Leídas con nuevo contenido: https://www.youtube.com/c/OlgaParaiso Si esta historia te ha cautivado y deseas unirte a nuestro grupo de taberneros galácticos, tienes la oportunidad de contribuir y apoyar mi trabajo desde tan solo 1,49 euros al mes.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker was born on November 8, 1847, in Clontarf, Dublin, Ireland. He was the third of seven children born to Abraham Stoker and Charlotte Mathilda Blake Thornley Stoker. Stoker spent much of his early childhood bedridden due to an unknown illness, during which he entertained himself with stories and books. Despite his illness, he eventually made a full recovery and went on to study at Trinity College Dublin, where he excelled in athletics and graduated with honours in Mathematics. After graduation, Stoker pursued a career in civil service while also working as a freelance journalist and theatre critic. His passion for writing led him to become the manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, where he met and formed a close friendship with the renowned actor Sir Henry Irving. Stoker's association with Irving greatly influenced his literary career and provided inspiration for some of his most famous works. Although Stoker wrote numerous novels, short stories, and non-fiction works, he is best known for his Gothic horror masterpiece, "Dracula," published in 1897. The novel, which tells the story of Count Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England in order to spread the undead curse, has become a timeless classic of English literature. "Dracula" introduced many of the vampire conventions still prevalent in contemporary culture, including the portrayal of vampires as charismatic and aristocratic beings with a thirst for blood. Despite the success of "Dracula," Stoker struggled financially throughout much of his life. He continued to write prolifically, producing several more novels and short stories, but none achieved the same level of success as his iconic vampire tale. Stoker passed away on April 20, 1912, in London, at the age of 64. While he did not live to see the full extent of "Dracula's" enduring legacy, his creation has since become one of the most iconic and influential figures in popular culture, inspiring countless adaptations, sequels, and reimaginings in literature, theatre, film, and television. Bram Stoker's contribution to the horror genre and his enduring legacy as the creator of one of literature's most iconic monsters continue to be celebrated by readers and scholars alike.

In this episode, Dr Niamh Wycherley and Dr Catherine Swift (Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick) take a deep dive into the complex contexts of the ultimate Queen of medieval Ireland, Gormlaith, daughter of Murchad, son of Finn (King of Leinster). Famous as the mother of kings and wife to kings, she was born into Leinster aristocracy and is remembered in the Annals of Inisfallen as the Queen of Munster. Gormlaith's life was marked by a series of important events, most notably the Battle of Clontarf, 1014, in which two sides of her family battled for the control of Dublin. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/medievalirishhistory/message

He has worked around the world, helped and advised many of our current distilleries to get started, educated many of the distillers currently working in the whiskey industry through his teaching with the Institute of Brewing and Distilling and also found time to be a past president of the Irish Whiskey Society.

Dublin is the capital and largest city of Ireland. It is a center for education, arts, and culture. As of 2018 the city was listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network as a global city with a ranking of "Alpha minus", which places it as one of the top thirty cities in the world. Dublin has a vibrant nightlife and is reputedly one of Europe's most youthful cities, with an estimate of 50% of citizens being younger than 25. The best-known area for nightlife is Temple Bar. You should at least walk through the Temple Bar district just to take in all the really cool pubs. I stayed a night in a real Bonafide castle in Clontarf located just 5 miles outside of Dublin. Clontarf Castle is a modernized castle dating to 1837. The Clontarf area is famous as a key location of the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. There has been a castle on the site since 1172. In modern times, it has functioned as a bar, cabaret venue, and hotel. SUBSCRIBE to watch more videos like this one!
