  1. 1.  Olof "the Black" Gudrödsson OF ISLE OF MAN föddes 1173 i Isle of Man, England (son till Godred "the Black" Olofsson OF ISLE OF MAN och Finola MacLochliann OF IRELAND); dog den 21 Maj 1237 i Isle of Man, England.

    Noteringar:

    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)

    Know you not that you lived long with the cousin of her whom you now have as your wife ? Olave did not deny the truth of what had been said, and acknowledged that he had long kept her cousin as a concubine. A synod therefore was assembled, and in it bishop Reginald canonically separated Olave the son of Godred and Lauon his wife. Afterwards, Olave married Christina, daughter of Fenquhard, Earl of Ross. (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)

    Olof var även gift med Christina, dr till Ferguard, jarl av Ross, Skottland, hon var hans tredje hustru. Young menar att äktenskapet med Cristina av Ross stod 1223 eller kort tidigare. (Fra Skanke-slektens historie, G.V.C. Young, 1986)

    Olaf (Svarte) and Godred (son of Reginald) arrived 1230 together in the Norwegian fleet, and immediately divided the kingdom between them-selves. (Chronicle of Man and the Sudreys, notes 37)

    Olof II Gudrödsson anses vara den förste kände, som förde det egendomliga och sällsynta vapnet med sina tre springande ben. Vapnet finns avbildat på Isle of Mans statssvärd, som traditionellt tillskrives Olof. Detta fordrar en datering till omkring 1230. Experter från Brittish Museum har daterat svärdet till omkring 1250. (Jämten 1969, C. R. Carlsson)

    Olaf II of the Isle of Man, also known as Olaf the Black, was King of the Isle of Man from 1229-1237. Olaf was the son of Godred V and Findguala from Ireland, and the half-brother of his predecessor, Ragnald. His younger brother Ragnald IV usurped his succession to the throne and it was only after years of campaigning against his brother's rule that Olaf killed him and took the throne in the year 1229. On the other hand, sources maintain that Findguala was his father's third and last wife, which would presumably make Olav as the younger brother. He however was the intended successor by his father. Olaf was driven out of Man by Alan, Lord of Galloway and forced to flee to Norway for assistance. In early 1230 Olaf and his nephew, Godred Donn, sailed from Norway in a fleet commanded by Gilla Esbuig mac Dubgaill. The fleet of 12 ships was strengthened by 20 more as the fleet stopped at Orkney on its way to the west coast of Scotland. According to saga accounts the fleet had grown to about 80 ships and over 3000 men by the time it entered the Firth of Clyde in around June. The force invaded the Isle of Bute and captured Rothesay Castle which was held by the powerful Stewart dynasty. The sagas tell of how the Norwegian force hewed the wall with their axes, because it was soft. Gilla Esbuig, who was severly wounded in the siege of Rothesay Castle, soon died and was buried in Iona. It was after the death of Gilla Esbuig mac Dubgaill that Olaf took command of the fleet and by Autumn had took control of Man with ease. Olaf died in the year 1237 at Peel Castle. He was succeeded by his son, who became Harald I of the Isle of Man. Later, Olaf's younger son became king Magnus II. (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

    Reginald (IV) gave his brother Olave (II, the Black) a certain island called Lewis, which is said to be more extensive than the other islands, but thinly peopled, because it is mountainous and rocky, and almost totally unfit for cultivation. The inhabitants live mostly by hunting and fishing. Olave took possession of this island and dwelt there; living, how ever, very scantily. Finding that the island could not support himself and his followers, he went frankly to his brother Reginald, who was then residing in the Isles, and spoke to him as follows: You know, my brother and king, that the kingdom of the Isles was mine by hereditary right, but as the Lord chose you for its governor, I do not grudge it you, nor am I discontented because you have been raised to the supreme dignity of king. I now therefore beg that you will allot me hand somewhere in the Isles sufficient for my own decent maintenance and that of my followers, for the island of Lewis which you gave me is unequal to my support. When Reginald had heard this, he promised to take advice on the subject, and return an answer to the petition next day. When next day had dawned, and Olave had conic by summons, to speak with the king, Reginald ordered him to be seized, bound, and carried in chains to William, King of Scotland, to be kept prisoner by that Sovereign. This order was executed, and Olave remained prisoner with the King of Scotland nearly seven years. In the seventh year, William, king of Scotland, died, and was succeeded by his son Alexander. Before his death, however, William gave directions for the liberation of all who were confined in his prisons. Olave then, having his chains removed, and being restored to liberty, went to Man to his brother Reginald, and shortly afterwards set out with a considerable attendance of men of rank for the shrine of St. James. Returning from the pilgrimage, he again visited his brother Reginald, by whom he was received in a friendly manner. At that time Reginald caused his brother Olave to marry Lanon' the daughter of a certain man of rank of Kintyre, sister to his own wife, and gave him the afore said island of Lewis, whether Olave, taking leave of his brother, went with his wife, amid dwelt there.

    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)

    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)

    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)

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.

    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)

    Gudröd gick i den norske kungen Harald 'Hårdrådes' tjänst och deltog i det berömda slaget vid Stamford Bridge den 25 september 1066. Engelsmännen besegrade norrmännen och Gudröd tog sin tillflykttill Isle of Man. Han insåg snart att öns försvar var svagt. Efter en tid for Gudröd till Norge, värvade en styrka på 600 man och bortåt 10 skepp, satte kurs mot öriket och erövrade det 1079. Gudrödvar en stor krigare och utvidgade sitt rike till att omfatta Hebriderna och till en tid även Dublin med omgivande landskap Leinster. (Källa: Jämten 1969, C.R.

Själv begrovs kung Orre på ön Islay i Hebriderna. Godfred regerade från år 1079, då han vannslaget vid Skyhill (väster om Ramsey) över sina medtävlare om makten. Han fördrevs dock år 1093 av den norske kungen Magnus 'Barfot'. Efter Godfred var samtliga regenter av nordiskt ursprung och devar alla underställda Norges kung. Men i praktiken var de suveräna.

    "It is necessary to repeat here that Fergus married Elizabeth, the natural daughter of King Henry I. of England. This king ruled from 1100 to 1135. Unless Fergus had been in England he could not have become acquainted with her and married before he became governor of Galloway, otherwise his descendants — three generations — would have had very short lives. Also, had he been a native, from the position apparently held from the first, he would have led the Galwegians at the Battle of the Standard, instead of Ulgric and Dovenald. That Fergus was married long before his connection with Galloway is supported by the facts that Olave, King of Man, began to reign in 1102, and that he married Affrica, the daughter of Fergus ..."

    About Elizabeth / Joan Illegitimate d/o Henry I (Of Gloucester) Elizabeth or Joan was an illegitimate daughter of Henry Beauclerc, but her mother is uncertain. It is probable that a daughter of Henry married Fergus. Whether Elizabeth was really married to Fergus of Galloway, or whether his children had a different mother is uncertain.

    Fergus may have married an ilegitimate daughter of Henri Beauclerc, King Henry I of England. Her name, however, is unknown. One of the candidates is Sibylla, the widow of King Alexander of Scotland, but there is little evidence for this. Another candidate could be Elisabeth; but likewise, there is little evidence. If he did marry a daughter of Henry I, the marriage can be interpreted as part of the forward policy of Henry I in the northwest of his dominions and the Irish Sea zone in general, which was engineered in the second decade of the 12th century. It may have been during this time that Fergus began calling himself rex Galwitensium (King of Galloway). However, while his possible father-in-law lived, Fergus seems to have remained a faithful vassal to Henry.[1][2]
