Sorry been gone for awhile, my elderly parents had major health issues that made me have to help them financially, medically & housing wise. Back now and watching! Awesome and informative video. Maybe next you can do one with Kings and their nipples lmao!

Sorry to hear that, hope all is going better now. I'd noticed you hadn't put up anything in a while, hopefully you're able to get back to it when time allows. The nips could well be a good idea for a short or could make it into a video on the High Kingship.

Yah, medieval Ireland could be a pretty cruel place when it wanted to be. The text refers to the guilty party in this case as "the person who brings them together for fun".
