Brian Boru Brian Boru was the King of Munster in Ireland in the late 10th and early 11th centuries . Whereas his great rival King Sitric Silkbeard of Dublin was a Norseman , Boru was Irish - born and attempted to use this status to his political advantage . Following the first Leinster Revolt in 1000 , he had succeeded in severely undermining Sitric ' s power . In 1006 , Sitric lamented that he had become little more than a lapdog to Brian . The Book of Kells was crucial to Brian ' s machinations . Although the book was written on the Scottish island of Iona in the 8th century , it was a powerful symbol of Irishness . Consequently , Sitric was concerned that if Brian gained possession of the book , he would be able to use it to gain control of Dublin and Ireland as a whole . In 1006 , he sent one of his warriors , Olaf Eriksson , to enlist the help of Brother Bernard , the chief librarian at the Abbey of Kells , in protecting the book so as to prevent Brian from using it as a pawn to place himself on the throne of Dublin . However , the Eighth Doctor and his companion Tamsin Drew almost entirely derailed Sitric ' s plot as they were labouring under the misapprehension that Brother Bernard was the Doctor ' s old enemy and fellow renegade Time Lord , the Monk . In actuality , Abbot Thelonious was the Monk , who sought the Book of Kells as he had instructed the monks at the Abbey to re - create a vital part of the directional unit of his TARDIS , which the First Doctor had stolen many years earlier in their respective personal timelines . Although Sitric ' s plan to keep the book out of Brian ' s hands was successful , the King of Dublin ' s position was further destabilised by a second revolt in Leinster several years later and the Battle of Clontarf in 1014 .
