Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Portion of a Champion "... It was in the Year of the World 5604, the Year of Our Lord 405, Honorius being King of the World and Stilicho General of the Roman forces, that Niall of the Nine Hostages made a foray into Gaul and wasted the valley of the Loire. "This was not the first or the greatest of Niall´s exploits, for he was the bravest and the most famous and powerful of all the High Kings of Ireland up to that time. Throughout his reign he was busy harrying the Roman borders, and he took hostages not only from the provinces of Ireland but from the Gaels of Alban, the Britons of the south, the Picts, the Saxons, and the Gauls of Armorica as well, and it is from these nine hostages that his name is given him. "Moreover, he forced the Leinstermen to pay him the tribute which they had refused many former High Kings. It was this that cost him his life, for the son of the King of Leinster saw him bathing in the Loire and creeping up on the opposite bank slew him treacherously with an arrow shot. "His nephew, Dathi the Quick with Weapons, came after him, not without fighting for the throne. Laegaire, Niall´s youngest son, was chosen as Dathi´s successor, and for some years the island was peaceful and prosperous. "It was in these days that the Huns were first seen in Gaul..." Here the story commences, in the reign of Dathi the Quick with Arms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
