It was fought on Good Friday (April 23, 1014) near Dublin, it pitted Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland against a coalition of Leinster Irish rebels led by Máel Mórda and Viking forces from Dublin, the Orkneys, and the Isle of Man under Sigtrygg Silkbeard and Sigurd of Orkney.
Brian's forces won decisively, breaking Viking power in Ireland. Dublin's Norse kingdom never fully recovered, and Irish Gaelic rulers reasserted dominance.
Brian (aged 73) was killed in his tent after victory, reportedly praying. This gave the battle a mythic, almost Arthurian quality. The battle was immortalized in the 12th-century Cogadh Gaedhel re Gallaibh
