#OnThisDay 1317 Edward Bruce’s army camped in Castleknock & planned to attack Dublin. Its citizens burned the western side of the city to deny him any cover in his attack but the fire spread rapidly. This is possibly why Dublin’s crest is three towers burning.

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
