Irish Princess Finola, fader Kung Muincherlock Mac Lochlainn, farfar Kung av Irland Niall O`Lochlainn, farfarsfar Kung av Irland Domhnall O`Lochlainn. (Fra Skanke-släktens historia, G.V.C. Young, stamtavla 1a)

The entry in the Chronicle of Mann is dated 1176 which describes Fhingola, dau of MacLottlen, King of Ireland. Here we find Phingola married to Godred, with a son named Olave, who is said to be three years old. So one can assume their union was consumated at least by 1173. Women married very early in those days so I'm not sure we can even assume an age of 20 in 1173, but if so, we would have a possible birthdate of ca. 1150. These agree roughly with P.A.'s figures and could be adjusted back about 10 years. So it appears Phingola could have been a daughter of either Muirchertach, King of Ireland, or one of his sons. (Clann Lochlainn)

The Chronicle of the Kings of Man in 1176 states that Fionnuala was the daughter of Mac Lochlainn, son of Muircheartach the king of Ireland (surely meaning Muircheartach who was killed in 1166). So her father could be any of the sons of this king, being Niall, Maelsechlainn, Muircheartach and possibly others. (Sean Mac Lochlainn)

In the year 1176, John de Courcy subdued Ulster. In the same year Vivian, Cardinal legate of the apostolic See, came to Man, and in the discharge of his office caused Godred to be united in lawful marriage with his wife, the daughter of MacLoughlin, son of Muinrough, King of Ireland, who was mother of Olave then three years old. They were married by Silvanus, Abbot of Rivaulx. (Chronicle of Man and the Sudreys)

Noteringar:

In the year 1153 King Olave (Bitling) was slain on the feast of the holy apostles Peter and Paul. In the following autumn Godred, his son, came from Norway with five ships, and put in at the Orkneys. All the chiefs of the Isles were rejoiced when they heard of his arrival, and assembling together, unanimously elected him for their king. Godred then came to Man, seized the three sons of Harold, and, to avenge his father's murder, awarded them the death they deserved. Another story is that he put out the eyes of two of them, and put the third to death. (Chronicle of Man and the Sudreys)

Efter ett sjöslag år 1156 delades Söderöarna i två delar och Hebriderna bildade ett eget rike med Islay som centrum. (Nordisk Vikingaguide, sid 189, Lars G. Holmblad)

In the year 1176, John de Courcy subdued Ulster. In the same year Vivian, Cardinal legate of the apostolic See, came to Man, and in the discharge of his office caused Godred to be united in lawful marriage with his wife, the daughter (Finola) of MacLoughlin, son of Muinrough, King of Ireland, who was mother of Olave then three years old. They were married by Silvanus, Abbot of Rivaulx. (Chronicle of Man and the Sudreys)

In the year 1187, on the 10th of November, Godred, King of the Isles, died in the Island of St. Patrick, in Man. In the beginning of the following summer his body was removed to the Island called lona (ett kloster på inre Hebriderna). He left three sons, Reginald, Olave, and Ivar. Reginald, then a full grown young man, was absent in the Isles. Olave, yet a very young boy, resided in Man. (Chronicle of Man and the Sudreys)

Godred during his life had appointed Olave to succeed to the kingdom, for the inheritance belonged to him by right, because he was born of lawful wedlock; and had commanded all the people of Man to appoint Olave king after his own death, and preserve inviolate their oath of allegiance. How ever, after the death of Godred, the Manxmen sent their messengers to the Isles for Reginald, and made him king, because he was a man of energy and of riper age. For they dreaded the weakness of Olave, for he was but a boy ten years old, and they considered that a person, who on account of his tender age, knew not how to direct himself, would be wholly incapable of governing his subjects. This was the reason why the people of Man appointed Reginald king. (Chronicle of Man and the Sudreys)

Magnus Barfot, som ca 1102 installerat sin son Sigurd som konung på Isle of Man, allierar sig med den iriske kung Muircetach av Munster, som hjälper honom att erövra Dublin och bjurder honom att tillbringa vintern hemma hos sig. När det våras beger sig de båda förbundsbröderna iväg på en krigisk expedition till det nordirländska Ulster, men där råkar kung Magnus ut för ett bakhåll och blir dödad tillsammans med många av sin landsmän. (En nordisk kronologi, Alf Henrikson)

There is no age given for Muirchertach MacLochlainn at his death in 1166. (Fra Skanke-släktens historia, G.V.C. Young, stamtavla 1a)

The quote from the Ban Seanchus makes it clear that Muircheartach's mother was Cailleach Chríon Nic Cuiléin. I presume their surname should now be spelled o Cuiléin, and has probably become something like Collins in English. (P A MagLochlainn)

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. (P A MagLochlainn)
