abstract:
This paper re-examines the Irish annals’ records of the Viking raid on Inis Phátraic and the desecration of Saint Dochonna’s shrine in ad 798. Former interpretations placed this island in either Ireland or the Isle of Man, with major consequences for early Irish-Sea Viking-Age historical research, but without detailing their respective arguments.
