The Viking Kingdom of Dublin
Previously the site of a monastic centre, the fledgling settlement of Dyflyn
was established by Norsemen from Scandinavia in 841 near the confluence of
the rivers Poddle and Liffey. This formed a dark pool or Dubh Linn which
provided a safe harbour for Viking longships. The Norse kingdom of Dublin
was repeatedly attacked by the Irish kings. |

The
Vikings set up their settlement as a longphort or ship camp of extremely
large proportions. |
