What is recorded here
Strongbow Island sits in County Fermanagh, a small landmass named for a man whose deeds outgrew local memory. The name suggests violence or ambition, yet the island itself may have offered only quiet water and reeds. Perhaps Strongbow passed it during a journey, dropped anchor, or lost someone beneath the surface. The sea keeps such events without warning, preserving the shape of what happened while removing the witness who could explain it.
