Sitric Silkenbeard, King of Dublin, with Dr Alex Woolf

In this episode, Dr Niamh Wycherley interviews Dr Alex Woolf (University of St. Andrews) on Sitric Silkenbeard, arguably one of the best Dubliners of all time. How did he end up being the king of Dublin? What was he doing during the Battle of Clontarf? What happened to him afterwards? These questions are at the core of this week's episode of The Medieval Irish History podcast.

Regular episodes every two weeks (on a Friday).
