According to the Annals, Nial MacLochlainn, the father of Muirchertach died in 1119 A.D. and was 28 years old. 1119 [AU] Niall, son of Domnall Ua Lochlainn, royal heir of Ailech and of Ireland and paragon of Ireland for form and for sense, for generosity and for erudition, fell by the Cenel-Maoin, in the 28th year of his age, on Monday and on the 10th of the moon and on the feast of the Three Innocent Children, the 18th of the Kalends of January. So that would make him born in about 1091. His father, Domnall MacLochlainn, died in 1121, and was 73 years old, making him born in about 1048. (Clann Lochlainn)

Konge på Irland 1153-1166

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)

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)

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