The Battle of Clontarf on Good Friday on 23 April 1014 is believed to be the decisive battle when the Irish beat the Vikings and the Vikings left Ireland. The date of the battle is definitely known. However, the reports of 6,000 enemy troups being killed is unsubstantiated. The key is that the Vikings were driven out of Ireland. The boat shown is a typical boat of Viking design.
