Sláine Ní Bhriain was the daughter of Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, and wife of Sigtrygg Silkbeard,King of Dublin. Sláine was married to Sitric after his defeat at Glen Máma in 999 to unite Dublin and Munster forces following a failed rebellion by Sitric and others.

The most well known reference to Sláine is in the Clogadh Gáedhel re Galliabh.

Although only referred to as daughter of Brian and wife of Amlaibh's son in the Clogadh, her attributed words in the Clogadh are jabs at Sitric and his allies.

"It appears to me that the foreigners have gotten their inheritance...I wonder is it heat that is upon them. But they tarry not to be milked if that is it"
