Brian Boru, one of the greatest
And coolest high kings of ireland
Will have his 1000 year anniversary
On Good Friday in 2014 and we're having a party
To cheer him on his way.

He was the "Ard Ri", meaning "High King"
So to be honest he was one of the first
And most defo the last high king
To unite Ireland under one monarch.
When he was eighty-nine, he gave the Vikings a good
'ol Battle at Clontarf on Good Friday, 1014
And defeated them, but didn't get
To make it home himself
And one of de pissed off defeated Vikings

Bothair, murdered Brian, apparently in his tent!
Ireland's coolest king was dead and gone, but
"Brian was the last man in Erin who was a match for a hundred."
So fancy coming along to celebrate on the day?
