The Annals of Ulster announced the arrival of the Viking Chieftain , known as Turgesius and Thorgest arrived at the head of a huge Viking fleet in 837. He would come to dominate large areas of Ireland with his ferocious Viking forces but would be ultimately captured by the Irish. Sadly, there is little known about this warrior except for fleeting entries to some of the annals and indeed many myths.

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. 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 their "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. Thank you for watching. Ronan.
