Having conquered the barony of Uisneach, the army led by Ansgar, set out on their way to the barony of Birr.

The penultimate point to be able to conquer the kingdom of Athlone, he knew from the prisoners he had taken that in the barony of Birr he would find a walled monastery.

Unlike the other monasteries that had been found in the other kingdoms, the walled monastery of the barony of Birr.

It was the oldest on the island of Ireland and it was also the largest due to the fact that it had been receiving a large amount of money from parishioners for hundreds of years.

It is because of that the monastery was the size of a completely enormous castle.

The road to the barony of Birr was quite quiet, as there was no kind of guard or population on the way.

However, it took them four days to reach the monastery, this because the roads that were supposed to be in good condition had been sabotaged.
