Viking Dublin (841)
On the Norse and Aztecs map as “Dublin”
841 — Beside the black pool, Dubh Linn, on the River Liffey, Norse raiders built a fortified ship base known as a longphort. From it grew a Norse trading town and kingdom, a centre of the slave trade and commerce across the Irish Sea. The Anglo-Normans took Dublin in 1170–71.

The layer record provides the source geometry, registration controls, reference dates and derivatives.
This map concerns settlement, voyages and the environment. Its geographic study regions are not all medieval state borders. Modern continental borders are dissolved, while the dated Danelaw and Normandy sources retain their historical meaning.
Greenland settlement references come from published farm distributions. The ice bands, coastal migration bands and voyage ranges are explanatory regions rather than measured medieval boundaries. The erroneous Cliopatria eastern Greenland placement was rejected.
Chapter date: 866.85. The actual source/reference date is recorded separately for each layer.
