board has gone beyond shit so we might aswell acknowledge the military genius of Irish people

Brian's an ancient Irish and Breton Celtic name, it ain't modern. Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig

and tom OP yes he was very smart in terms of strategy against rival kingdoms and the Norse. Shame he died in a tent while praying though.

Irish were military geniuses though, peasant rebellions aside, all the European Imperial powers had circle jerks over Irish soldiers hiring them as their Generals and military trainers.

He sucked ass.

he looked like a beggar to be honest; i guess irish were less advanced that even blacks at that time.

He was an exceptional military leader and a very shrewd political operator, probably one of the finest political minds in Europe at the time

>I'm a direct descendant of Brian Boru

>>1793747
kek

Considering he came from what was at the time the backwater Dal gCas then yes it took some serious skill to work his way up to High King

>>1788615
Literally who

>>1796058
Irishman who supposedly slayed a Dragon sometime around 820AD. Lot of pseudo-history of you ask me, or any genuine scholar.

>>1796105
Who the ever loving fuck said he killed a dragon? He fought to become High King of Ireland, killed some Norsemen and died. Call yourself a historian.
