Fun fact: Boru literally translates to something like "many cows".
Brian Buru is such a mythical person to me, I know he was real, but old Irish history is so intwined with folklore that it can be hard to separate the man from the myth. Great video, could see this being a great resource for schools teaching Irish history.
Great video!
Another excellent video by this team
Never stop making videos ! I can not stop watching this channel since I found it 3 years ago ! U deserve so much more subs ❤
THANK YOU, Finally one of these channels did ireland, more irish vids please
This mess was more epic than Hamlet and Macbeth combined!
Seems that the Irish can beat Shakespeare just by being themselves.
🧐
Ooh Irish history? Rare do you see people do anything in Irish history
The life of Brian is legendary!
Such a VERY Irish story, with victory and disaster all rolled up in one, and mostly for lack of discipline. Great video.
History Marche, please don't give away the result of the video in the title cuz I love the suspense
