Noteringar
Sonen Olav 'Svarte' bör vara född år 1173, eftersom föräldrarna gifter sig år 1176 och då sägs det uttryckligen att sonen Olav var 3 år gammal. (Källa: Chronicle of Man and the Isles)

Begravd på ön Iona, som är en liten helig ö bland inre Hebriderna i västra Skottland. Munken Columba anlade ett kloster på ön 563, vilket raserades av vikingar år 806, men återuppbyggdes. (Källa: May Teistevoll)

This Godred of 1154 in Dublin was, it appears, the same Godred Olafsson (or Godfrey II, King of Man) who married Fionnuala Nic Lochlainn. This raises the very interesting possibility that Fionnuala married Godred soon after the 1154 political collision in Dublin, and that she was (after all!) the daughter of High-King Muircheartach - and not the daughter of one of his sons who succeeded him as King of Cinéal Eoghain. There is every reason to see Fionnuala's marriage as the final seal on an alliance between the Manx family and Clann Lochlainn: it remains for us to figure out when are where this accord was finalised.

In 1154, the Chronicles of Mann state that Godred, King of Mann, was asked by the people of Dublin to be their king. When Murtagh, King of Ireland, heard this, he assembled a host and marched on Dublin with his twin brother, Osiblen. In the ensuing battle, Osiblen was slain. Another translation of this tract calls Osiblen his uterine brother and renders the name of the King of Ireland as Muirchertach. (Källa: P A MagLochlainn)

Olaf was killed in 1154 at Ramsey. Now, Chronicle says that his son Godred had, just before that, gone to Norway to King Inge; made himself his man and, next autumn, on his return, put in at Orkney, 'and all the chiefs of the Isles, hearing that he had come, were delighted'. He was in fact a connection. Godred from there came to Man, and turned out his cousins who had killed his father Olaf; blinded two of them, killed the third this maintaining a connection with Orkney at that date I think in harmony with my general view of Olaf´s connection with the family of the Saint.
