The Vikings had a fearsome reputation when they began to raid Ireland from 795 AD and from the mid 800's began to settle on Irelands shores, developing Ireland's first towns and urban centres. They were successful merchants developing trading routes into the heart of Europe. This is a short history of the Vikings in Ireland, using the location of Old Kilcullen in Kildare as an example of their raids.

Greetings from Ireland! Welcome to my channel, that is dedicated to the history and culture of Ireland. This is not set out to be a history lesson, but a ramble through some stories you might find interesting about Ireland from an Irishman! Ireland has so many connections throughout the world from the emigration from this country over so many centuries, but those with Irish blood in their families always have a yearning to know more about thier "old country", this is my attempt to bring some of the history and culture they left behind. So if you fancy some tales about horsemen and highwaymen, banshee's and fairies, soldiers and rebels, legends and folklore, saints and scholars, please like and subscribe, I post once per month. Thank you for watching. Ronan.
