TEXT ON PICTURE:

DUBLIN - DUIBH-LINN. DUBH'S POOL - The name Duibh-linn, "Dubh's Pool", commemorates Dubh, a jealous wife who drowned her rival by magic, and was herself drowned in this pool, into which she fell stunned by a shot from her rival's gillie, Mairgine (whence Merrion). The full Irish name of the city is Baile atha cliath duibhlinne, "Hurdleford town of Dubh's pool". The Norsemen who settled here about 850, called it Dyfflin, "the black pool". Having given up piracy for trading they became Christians and built Holy Trinity Cathedral. They shut their gates in 1169 against Mac Murchada and his foreign auxiliaries, but the city was entered by perfidy and bacame Strongbow's prize.
