ments were ever attempted, or at all events accom- plished, by the Danes in Ireland.
When they first came, the religious establish- ments, especially those on the coasts and in the islands, were the greatest sufferers. The Norsemen have obtained for themselves a historical reputation for bravery. It is doubtful if this reputation would ever ...have been gained if they had nothing to show but the record of their campaigns in Ireland. Their first attacks were all directed against the monas- teries. In them they encountered the least resist- ance, for though ecclesiastics sometimes joined in battle, they were necessarily for the most part given to peace. The monasteries, too, had the greatest wealth, and that of a portable kind. In them were produced the works of gold and silver and metal — in them the stores of industry were garnered — in them were to be found costly shrines, book covers and altar vessels, curiously wrought and adorned with precious stones.
