| abstract | - Brian Boru was an Irish king of the early eleventh centuries. Known for overthrowing the Uí Néill dynasty and attempting to unify all of Ireland in a model of kingship similar to England or France, his status rose to legendary in a work written about him in the twelfth century, Cogadh Gaedhil re Gallaibh, in which the Vikings attack Ireland, and Brian Boru drives them out, but is killed in the process. In April 1916, after having his play reviewed poorly by William Butler Yeats, Sean O'Casey remarked to Indiana Jones that he was sick of symbolic plays with their Brian Borus. The descendants of Brian became the O'Brian/O'Brien clan. Brendan O'Neal once claimed that his mother was a member of the O'Brian tribe, after delivering a tribute to Brian Boru in an effort to impress Rebecca Stein.

- Brian Boru (c. 94123 April 1014, ; ; modern ) was an Irish king who ended the domination of the High Kingship of Ireland by the Uí Néill. Building on the achievements of his father, Cennétig mac Lorcain, and especially his elder brother, Mathgamain, Brian first made himself King of Munster, then subjugated Leinster, making himself ruler of the south of Ireland. He is the founder of the O'Brien dynasty. With a population of under 500,000 people, Ireland had over 150 kings, with greater or lesser domains. The Uí Néill king Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill, abandoned by his northern kinsmen of the Cenél nEógain and Cenél Conaill, acknowledged Brian as High King at Athlone in 1002. In the decade that followed, Brian campaigned against the northern Uí Néill, who refused to accept his claims, against Leinster, where resistance was frequent, and against the Norse Gaelic Kingdom of Dublin. Brian's hard-won authority was seriously challenged in 1013 when his ally Máel Sechnaill was attacked by the Cenél nEógain king Flaithbertach Ua Néill, with the Ulstermen as his allies. This was followed by further attacks on Máel Sechnaill by the Dubliners under their king Sihtric Silkbeard and the Leinstermen led by Máel Mórda mac Murchada. Brian campaigned against these enemies in 1013. In 1014, Brian's armies confronted the armies of Leinster and Dublin at Clontarf near Dublin on Good Friday. The resulting Battle of Clontarf was a bloody affair, with Brian, his son Murchad, and Máel Mórda among those killed. The list of the noble dead in the Annals of Ulster includes Irish kings, Norse Gaels, Scotsmen, and Scandinavians. The immediate beneficiary of the slaughter was Máel Sechnaill who resumed his interrupted reign. The court of Brian's great-grandson Muirchertach Ua Briain produced the Cogadh Gaedhel re Gallaibh, a work of near-hagiography. The Norse Gaels and Scandinavians too produced works magnifying Brian, among these Njal's Saga, the Orkneyinga Saga, and the now-lost Brian's Saga. Brian's war against Máel Mórda and Sihtric was to be inextricably connected with his complicated marital relations, in particular his marriage to Gormlaith, Máel Mórda's sister and Sihtric's mother, who had been in turn the wife of Amlaíb Cuarán, king of Dublin and York, then of Máel Sechnaill, and finally of Brian. A succinct summation of Brian is by David B. Beougher, who remarks "Contrary to the popular perception of Brian as the liberator of Ireland from foreign dominance, he purposely used outsiders to expand his authority. Brian "Boru" combined Irish tradition with innovation to become the most successful Irish king of his time."

Bashir fragt ihn, weshalb dieser immer den König spielt. Daraufhin antwortet O'Brien, dass er ein direkter Nachfahre von Brian Boru ist. (DS9: ) Die Aussage, dass der Chief ein direkter Nachfahre von Brian Boru ist, beruht darauf, dass sich die zahlreichen Nachfahren des Königs nach dessen Tod in der Schlacht von Clontarf „O'Brien“ nannten. Kurz darauf spielen die beiden das Programm erneut, wobei O'Brien, wieder einmal in seiner Rolle als Brian Boru, den König von Leinster auf seiner eigenen Burg beleidigt. (DS9: )
