Finally, they took refuge in the far-flung corners of the British Isles and Western Europe. This fascinating volume describes in authentic detail the lives and legends of four of the most famous warriors from over 10 centuries of Celtic history. together, their exploits chart the peak and the decline of one of the most dedicated military civilizations that the world has ever seen.
