I knew my remaining days above this soil were short, precious, and I looked forward to enjoying them in prosperity and peace. From my castle in County Tyrconnell - the same bastion whence my father started our family’s march to power almost a century before - I surveyed the entire emerald isle at my command.
A hale and venerable 68 years of age, with nine children my issue, I surveyed my kingdom with pride. “The Great,” they called me - King Flann I, unifier of Ireland.
