Wolf the Quarrelsome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolf the Quarrelsome was brother to Brian Boru who was High King of Ireland from 1002 to 1014. He was primarily known for his actions in the Battle of Clontarf of 1014, in the aftermath of which he gruesomely killed Brodir of the Isle of Man to avenge his brother's death at the hands of the invaders:

Wolf the Quarrelsome cut open his belly, and led him round and round the trunk of a tree, and so wound all his entrails out of him, and he did not die before they were all drawn out of him.
