Description
Abstract (cited)

Post-Norman records indicate that Killaloe was an early borough. It probably predated the Normans. Here the early history of the related and adjacent sites, Killaloe (Cell Da Lua) and Kincora (Ceann Coradh), is traced. The one was a monastic site and later cathedral, the other a royal centre of the Uí Briain kings of Ireland—a unique combination outside the Scandinavian towns of Ireland. This settlement had urban functions, was a centre of royal and episcopal administration, and had a Hiberno-Scandinavian community.
