I have corrected this to what it actually was, a stand-off. AU actually describes the Irish army running away back to their camp when Ragnall arrives, and then Niall taking a second position to prevent their slaughter by Ragnall. So the Irish in this case are in the defensive position and Ragnall is free to leave if he chooses, which he eventually does, after twenty days, and returns to Waterford. And this is all in Munster. Meanwhile, Niall sends word to Leinster to come to attempt to besiege either the force of Ragnall, which he is not strong enough himself to engage, or the second force under Sitric. So either Sitric counter attacks a force moving solely against him somewhere else, or he intercepts the Leinstermen on their way to Munster. In either case there is no real siege. Back in Munster Niall is encamped against Ragnall to prevent him going further but they never actually engage. All of this can be checked in AFM. It seems the occasional writer gets confused.

Sorry about the delay, here's the review at last.
That's the lot. A very interesting read on a relatively little known figure in history to me. I always think that it's shocking given the length of time and the Kingdoms existing at the time that History lessons at British schools don't cover Viking settlements - at least when I was at school, it always made it sound like they sailed up and down the Eastern coast raiding abbeys and that was it. It's articles like this and a little too much Crusader Kings II that help to inform me. :) Miyagawa ( talk) 17:18, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
Okay, dealing with the points one by one:
Right I think that's all the points addressed. Agree about not learning about the Vikings, I had a similar experience. It's only lately that I've come to know very much about the Vikings by reading up just out of interest (I'm not unfamiliar with CKII either). Interestingly, it's by no means a dead field of study though, I created an article a few months ago for a Viking king who was only identified in 2011 ( Airdeconut)! I've been slowly working through the notable Vikings of the Uí Ímair trying to get each article up to a decent standard. If I ever get round to it I hope to do the same for other Vikings too. Anyway, thanks @ Miyagawa: for the review. If any more points need addressing just let me know and I'll get to them when I can. Retroplum ( talk) 15:28, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
