Background |
| |
Muirchertach was a son of Toirdelbach Ua Briain, a previous Dál gCais king of Ireland. |
| |
The Ua Briain were former Saxon militia of the the Papal invasion force of Patrick in the 5th Century that settled in the south of Ireland. They found an accomodation with the Cuileain and were granted lands in exchange for their protection against the ever increasing threat of the Uí Néill. |
| |
Muirchertach is famous for being one of the greates fraudsters of history through the commissioning of complete fabrications designed to implant the O'Brien as a genuine ancient Irish clann. |
| |
In 1104 Muirchertach ordered the publication of the ficticious history and fraudulent geneology of Cogadh Gaedhil re Gallaibh (The War of the Irish with the Foreigners) as a means of justifying the Ua Briain (O'Brien) claim to the High-Kingship. |
| |
It was this fictional texts that first contained the fable about the hero Brian Boru. |
| |
In the same year (1104) Muirchertach also commissioned the publication of Lebor na hUidre (Book of the Dun Cow) by the Christian monastery of Clonmacnoise, County Offaly containing part of the Táin Bó Cúailnge-the foundation story of the Ulster Epic. |
| |
Then in 1106, Muirchertach ordered the first publication of the ficticious history of Brjáns saga (also Brjánssaga) as a means of claiming historic Dublin loyalty to "Brian Boru"- a figure that never really existed. |
