@caitlinrgreen is there anything online specifically about the historicisation of Fionn mac Cumhaill? Padel and Ó hÓgáin both hard to find.
And here's Murphy's reply which endorses parts of comparison: https://archive.org/stream/duanairefinnbook03murpuoft#page/212/mode/2up … Sadly, CMCS def not online now or in near-future :(

I'm talking to someone doubting that Fionn was seen as fighting the Vikings in medieval Irish literature, and can't find references.

Ah! Yes, first appears in 11thC, iirc; Padel mentions and cites Ó hÓgáin etc :-)

Thanks!
