@Leongbhailte @FiaMor115 @OldHollowTree Haven't made anything up, it may not have been the very first but it was early on.

I'm looking for the source it's been a few years when I find it I'll post it.

[The Bull @The2ndBull]

@RawWarBro @OldHollowTree It may have been, like I said it was years ago I heard the story.

All I remember was the monks were stirred to battle and the arch abbot wielded his staff as a weapon, but rhe staff bit may have been embellishment, the axes from cutting firewood makes more sense.

[The Bull @The2ndBull]

@RawWarBro @OldHollowTree I remember it being the first one, might not have been the very first, haven't found it yet but I'm still looking

I recently watched a film I can't remember the name of, but I found it's exploration of this quite interesting, the people in it were firmly Christian.

Going to church, believing in Jesus, that sort of thing (albeit except for a few notable exceptions), but they all also believed in the "demon" that was the antagonist, it wasn't strange to them to believe in both. I think that was the most accurate representation of folk religion tbh.

[The Bull @The2ndBull]

What gives you that idea? The cultural practice of ritualistic cattle raiding seems to disprove it, as does the many wars fought between the tuaths in Ireland.

Also the existence of the Fianna and the Red Branch Knights, and the warrior aristocracy.

The Gaels were primarily a martial race of pastoralist herders.
