The Vikings
The Vikings built more than they destroyed in Ireland, writes IrishAbroad's
Douglas Dalby.
"First the Vikings came around,
Turned us up and turned us down,
Started building boats and towns,
They tried to change our living,
tried to change our living."(Irish Ways and Irish Laws)
The words in this Irish ballad of resistance are, like many attempts
to portray history, only a partial truth.
