This book gives a text, an English translation, and a commentary on a medieval verse history of the kings of Ireland and Scotland from the ninth to the 11th centuries. This study examines the Prophecy of Berchan as a historical record with much to offer students of kingship among the Irish and Scots.

This study suggests new interpretations of British and Irish history during the early middle ages.
