What is recorded here

Stand up, strike the stone, drop dead or be king. That is theClonmacnoise test, repeated in kitchens and camps from Meath to Antrim. Some men refused to strike. They lived ordinary lives and never knew whether they were kings. The stone kept their names safe by taking them from history.
