'''Brian Boru''' was the only emperor of all [[Ireland]]. He lived AD 941 to April 23, 1014 and ruled 1002 to 1014.
'''Brian Boru''' (941 - April 23rd, 1014) was emperor of all [[Ireland]]. A clan prince, he first subjugated Munster and then extended his power over all of southern Ireland. Finally, in 1002 he had conquered all of Ireland.
Ruling from 1002 to 1014, he came into conflict with the Norse inhabitants who formed a coalition against him. Brian defeated them at the [[Battle of Clontarf]], but he murdered in his tent shortly thereafter. Brian's victory had broke the Norse power in Ireland forever, but his untimely death plunged Ireland into anarchy.
