Ragnar's Sons and the Viking Age in Ireland

We left off with the Great Heathen Army tearing through England, but there was another frontier burning just across the Irish Sea. This episode explores the Uí Ímair dynasty's conquest of Dublin, Waterford, and Wexford, transforming these settlements into vital hubs for the North Atlantic trade network. We look at how Ivarr inn beinlausi and his brothers established a kingdom that lasted centuries, blending Norse military power with Irish political structures. From the Battle of Confey to the rise of the Longphort system, we examine how Ragnar’s legacy wasn’t just about raiding—it was about building a lasting empire in the west. Join us as we trace the roots of Hiberno-Norse culture and the complex alliances that defined early medieval Ireland.
