I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
The Assault on Armagh took place in 882 in the early stages of the 9th century reign of High King Flann Sinna across Ireland. It was fought between the forces of the High King and the forces under Abbot Eogan mac Cartaigh.
The Assault on Armagh
After evidence was found by High King's ally Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan of Abbot Eogan mac Cartaigh being the founder of the zealot cult, the Children of Danu,[1] she reported back to Flann Sinna and her cousin, King Sichfrith of Dublin. Putting together the Abbot's hand in Flann's attempted assassination[2] and his betrayal that led to the death of Eivor's cousin and Sichfrith's father, King Bárid mac Ímair,[3] Flann prepared the assault on Armagh alongside Sichfrith and Eivor. Supported by Sichfrith's Vikings and Eivor, Flann launched his attack on the fortress of Armagh.[4]
Breaking through, the High King's forces defeated the soldiers as Flann and Eivor broke into the fortress' chruch and confronted Abbot Eogan. Although the Abbot tried to curse them for the treason against the Church, Flann stated they knew of Eogan's true allegiance. After Eogan put down his façade, he tried to convince Flann of his poetess Ciara ingen Medba's allegiance but was dissuaded by Eivor. Nevertheless, Flann and Eivor fought against Eogan and ultimately killed him and his guards.[4]
Aftermath
While all of Ireland soon learned of Abbot Eogan's treachery,[4] Flann held a council meeting of kings at King's Land at Durrow to discuss the situation with the druids. They all agreed to an inquistion of the druids into conversion or exile, much to Ciara's anger. Feeling betrayed, poetess Ciara ingen Medba went to activate the Lia Fáil but not before Flann and Eivor came to convince her not to do so. In a series of fight, Eivor managed to best Ciara and saw the Lia Fáil destroyed. After time, Flann rescinded the inquistion order in respect to Ciara.[5]
