Caledonians Raiding Level 1

Raiders' Assembly Point

"We attack at dawn. The cows won't know what's hit 'em!"

Cattle raiding or rustling has always taken place. Known throughout Celtic Ireland as 'Táin Bó', raiding cattle had serious implications as, in a society where livestock was currency (as opposed to coinage), the disruption of people's income and livelihoods could be catastrophic. Raids on livestock were so common in the Celtic world that an entire genre of early Irish literature - the 'Táin Bó' tales - is dedicated to recounting epic accounts of cattle raids against other tribes. The most famous of these is the 'Táin Bó Cúailnge', or the 'Driving-Off of Cows of Cooley', in which several fierce battles, between almost godlike tribal leaders, are fought for cattle after the legendary queen of the Connacht, Medb, plotted to steal the cows of Ulster.
