As a result, the founding of Dublin is counted by some from the year 988, although a village had existed on the site of Dublin nearly a thousand years earlier.Ĭoins were minted in Dublin by about 995, and on Mann by about 1025. In 988, Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill led the initial Gaelic conquest of Dublin. The Fingal area north of Dublin was named after the Norse who lived there. The extent of the kingdom varied, but in peaceful times it extended roughly as far as Wicklow ( Wykinglo) in the south, Glen Ding near Blessington, Leixlip ( Lax Hlaup) west of Dublin, and Skerries, Dublin ( Skere) to the north. They began to exhibit a great deal of Gaelic and Norse cultural syncretism, and are often referred to as Norse-Gaels. Over time, the settlers in Dublin became increasingly Gaelicized.

The actual location of the longphort of Dublin is still a hotly debated issue. It may be safe to assume that the Vikings first over-wintered in 840–841 AD. It is from this date onward that historians get references to ship fortresses or longphorts being established in Ireland. The first reference to the Vikings comes from the Annals of Ulster and the first entry for 841 AD reads: "Pagans still on Lough Neagh". The Norse referred to the kingdom as Dyflin, which is derived from Irish Dubh Linn 'black pool'. Its territory corresponded to most of present-day County Dublin. Vikings invaded the territory around Dublin in the 9th century, establishing the Norse Kingdom of Dublin, the earliest and longest-lasting Norse kingdom in Ireland.
