Brian Boru
A mhic! Today we drive these sea-wolves back to the cold depths from whence they came! By the Dagda's club, let none forget this day!

Hear me, sons of Leinster! That false king's head will adorn Dublin's gates before sunset!

A chara, see how the traitor stands with foreigners against his own blood? The land itself cries out for justice!
