History of Limerick
The Vikings caried out their exploits in Limerick in 922 AD, navigating up the River Shannon and establishing the foundation of modern-day Limerick (Self Catering, Limerick, Ireland) City. After a century of continual warfare, the Vikings were defeated by the indigenous Irish, under the command of High King Brian Boru. Over the next century, Limerick suffered form internal wars among the Irish clans, which lasted until the overpowering forces of the Anglo-Normans conquered the area.
