cratered: City of seiges, Limerick looks back on a history less mirthful than the type of humorous rhyme that, for reasons known, shares its name. Founded by Vikings about 920, the city withstood repeated attacks before Irish hero Brian Boru finally ousted the Norse. The English took Limerick in 1174 and built King John’s Castle, which still commands Thomond Bridge. National Geographic, November 1978
