Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from When the Norman Came The sun was glittering from the points of a forest of spears. Bravely the morning breeze fluttered the banners and bannerettes of a numerous host which in serried order advanced steadily towards the town which lay in the distance. From the northward they had come, these men of Breifne, and Meath, and Dublin, to try conclusions with the king over whose territory their feet trod. In the ranks of that host were intermingled the tall Breifnian, fresh from his home beside Loch Reamhair, with many a bold mountaineer from out the woods and fastnesses of Wicklow. Cuala and Fine Gall had sent forth their clansmen, while behind the raven banner of their chief, Hasculf MacTorcaill, marched the Ostmen of Dublin, side by side with many a brave kern from the plains of Hy Kinsella. At the head of this goodly host rode a gallant warrior, proud and stately. Raven-black were the ringletted locks which fell down on his shoulders from beneath his crested helmet, inlaid with gold. Of red gold was the brooch which fastened his mantle. At his side hung from an embroidered belt a long, straight sword, its bronze scabbard beautifully chased, its hilt of whitest ivory. Close behind rode a giolla bearing his princes shield and spears. Even without glancing at the cognizance worked on his banner, we could have easily recognized this chief, whose glance roved over the surrounding country. He was none other than the one-eyed prince of Breifne, Tiernan O Ruairc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
