The great battle of Clontarf to which this poem refers, was fought between the Irish and the Danes on Good Friday, A.D. 1014. This tune is supposed by some to be the march played or sung by Brian Boroimhe's troops on their return from Fingal, the name given to that part of Dublin where the Danes had settled.
