To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Life was not easy for the monks for, apart from their monastic rule of life, they were subjected to constant attacks by Danes and Norsemen which resulted in the community livestock and other valuables being stolen.

At first this seemed to present another threat to Monasterboice, but there was nothing to fear for the Danes were Christians and spared Monasterboice, although they di...d plunder other monastic establishments.
An entry in the Irish Annals tells a strange, but not surprising story. It says that in 969 A. D. " Domhnali, the High King of Ireland, plundered Monasterboice, against the Foreigners, and burned three hundred of them in one house. " This seems to be 25 explained by the fact that most of the monks at that time were Danes.
