Viking Dublin's History

In the ninth century, the Norse founded the Viking Kingdom of "Dyflin," which is now Dublin, Ireland. The name "Dubh Linn" translates to "black pool" in Irish. During this era, Dublin became a significant hub for the slave trade in Western Europe. However, its Viking rule came to an end when the Norman conquerors killed the last Viking king in 1171.
