Follow the Vikings Roadshow, Waterford, Ireland - 02/04/2018
Follow the Vikings is a breathtaking live show touring Europe since 2015, gradually making its way across a trail of key destinations where the Vikings left their footprints centuries ago - including Waterford of course!
As part of the Viking Festival, The Apple Market stage will play host to a spectacular audiovisual live performances on Easter Monday, April 2nd at 8:30pm and 9:45pm respectively. Think Riverdance with a Nordic twist!
It's no secret that Waterford is steeped in Viking history, and with that magic still in air around the city, the performance space under The Apple Market's new Canopy Roof is the perfect place to gather to witness these unique performances celebrating the Déise's heritage and kinship with the Scandinavian warriors!
Follow the Vikings at The Apple Market, where Vadre Fjörd comes alive!

Waterford city and the Norman invasion
Waterford city and the Norman invasion
Waterford City was founded in 914 AD and developed into a significant urban area during the 10th century. It is the oldest area of continuous urban settlement in Ireland. Reginald's Tower marks the site of the first defensive structure built by the Viking settlers. The Tower is mentioned in the Irish Annals as early as 1088 thus making it the oldest civic building structure on this island. The name Waterford is derived from an old Norse word Vedrarfjiordr (Windy Fjord) that can be traced back to the late 9th century. Vedrarfjiordr refers to Waterford as being a safe haven for Viking ships sheltering from a windy Irish Sea. The Vikings, realising the strategic and trading importance of the three rivers which empty into Waterford Harbour, built a longphort or dock at the confluence of the St. John's River and the River Suir.
In 1169 a group of Anglo-Norman mercenaries landed in Wexford at the invitation of Dermot McMurrough who sought help in order to regain his lost kingdom. By 1170 they were at the walls of Waterford. After a bloody battle the city fell to Strongbow and his armour clad Anglo-Norman supporters. Strongbow was made heir to the McMurrough lands in Leinster and as previously agreed married Dermot's daughter Aoife, the marriage taking place in Waterford's Christchurch Cathedral. In 1171 the King of England, Henry II, arrived in Waterford and anxious to exercise his control over a process of conquest that was taking place almost despite him, began to demand the submissions of the Anglo-Norman knights.
The submission of Strongbow and his followers was received by Henry at Waterford. Henry II recognised Strongbow as McMurrough's heir to Leinster but the strategically important port cities of Dublin and Waterford, which Strongbow had captured, were retained by the King. Henry II elevated Waterford to the status of a royal city - a status that was to change the course of the city's history dramatically. Consequently in the years after the invasion, many English and French merchants settled in Waterford. This new merchant class with its trading contacts in England and on the continent was to make Waterford medieval Ireland's chief port for the import of wine and a major exporter of wool and hides. The city flourished during the 13th century and many new monasteries, friaries and churches were built. New stone-built defences protected its citizens and a sophisticated form of local government developed whereby the citizens elected a mayor on an annual basis to rule over the city.
Traditionally, all ships entering the harbour, with the exception of those originating in Leinster, were obliged to unload at Waterford. In 1372 Waterford City Council commissioned the decoration of the Great Charter Roll, an illuminated manuscript measuring 14 feet in length, in an attempt to strengthen their legal case against the burgesses of New Ross who were working to nullify Waterford's monopoly. The manuscript thus produced has fortunately been preserved in Waterford and is regarded as the most important Irish illuminated manuscript from the late medieval period.
