  • The Battle of Glenn Máma or Glenmama was a battle that took place in County Wicklow in AD 999. It was the decisive and only engagement of the brief Leinster revolt of 999-1000 against the King of Munster, Brian Boru. In it, the combined forces of the Kingdoms of Munster and Meath, under King Brian Boru and the High King of Ireland, Máel Sechnaill II, inflicted a crushing defeat on the allied armies of Leinster and Dublin, led by King Máel Mórda of Leinster. The two armies met in a narrow valley in the Wicklow Mountains, causing a rout of Máel Mórda's army in at least three directions. They were pursued, and the main body of the army was slaughtered when they rallied at several fording points along the River Liffey. The main commanders were either killed or captured. The battle resulted in the occupation of Dublin by Brian's Munster forces, and the submission of Máel Mórda and King Sigtrygg Silkbeard of Dublin to Brian Boru. The solution did not prove permanent, however, and eventually resulted in the second Leinster revolt against Brian and the Battle of Clontarf in 1014.
  • La bataille de Glenmama (ou Glenn Máma) fut menée le 30 décembre 999 entre les Vikings et Brian Boru, roi de Munster. Ce dernier fut victorieux. Sigtryggr Silkiskegg roi de Dublin était le fils d'Olaf Kvaran et de Gormlaith la soeur de Maél Morda roi de Leinster. Celui-ci allié de son neveu Sigtryggr se révolta contre Brian Boru. L'affrontement eut lieu à Glenn Mama où Brian vainqueur fit Maél Mordha prisonnier et le libéra contre rançon. Un frère de Sigtryggr Harald fut tué au combat. Brian attaqua ensuite la ville de Dublin en janvier 1000; il pilla, brûla la forteresse et Sigtryggr dut s'enfuir. Il revint et se soumit à l'autorité de Brian.
