     Unknown (?) married Olaf Sitricson Cuarán (?) King of Dublin and York, son of Sihtric Cáech (?) King of Dublin and York and Unknown (?),
;
His 1st wife.1
      ; Per Med Lands:
     "OLAF [Amlaib] Sihtricsson, son of SIHTRIC King of York & his first wife --- ([900]-Iona [978/80]). Given the date of his death, and the record of activities of the sons of King Sihtric in 922, it is likely that Olaf was born in [900]. [The Annals of Clonmacnoise record in 922 that "Maceilgi with the sons of Sittrick tooke Dublyn on Godfrey"[1270]. The source does not name Sihtric´s sons who were involved in this campaign.] He was accepted as King of York by the Northumbrians in 927 after the death of his father, and was supported by his uncle Guthfrith who came from Dublin. However, Æthelstan invaded Northumbria and expelled Olaf, who joined his father's former associates in Ireland[1271]. The Annals of the Four Masters record in 938 that “Amhlaeibh Cuaran went to Cair-Abroc”[1272]. Florence of Worcester records that Olaf joined his cousin at York in 940 and was elected King of York[1273]. Simeon of Durham records that "the son of Sihtric named Onlaf reigned over the Northumbrians" in 941 but was driven out in 943[1274]. He lost the territories gained by Olaf Guthfrithson to Edmund King of Wessex in 942, and he was driven out of York and deposed in favour of his cousin Rægnald. He returned to Northumbria in 944, reasserting himself as king in opposition to Rægnald, but he was expelled by Edmund King of Wessex later that year[1275]. Simeon of Durham records that King Edmund expelled "king…Anlaf the son of Sihtric and [king] Reignold the son of Guthferth" from Northumbria in 944[1276]. Florence of Worcester records that Eadmund King of Wessex expelled "duos reges, Anlafum regis…Sihtrici filium, et Reignoldum Guthferthi filium" from Northumbria, undated but dateable to [944] from the context[1277]. King of Dublin: the Annals of the Four Masters record that “Blacaire one of the chiefs of the foreigners was expelled from Dublin” in 943 and “Amhlaeibh remained after him there”[1278]. The Annals of Ulster record that "Blacair gave up Áth Cliath” in 945 and that “Amlaíb succeeded him”[1279]. He returned to York once more in 949, expelling King Erik "Blodøks/Blood-axe", but was finally driven out in his turn by Erik in 952, when he returned to Dublin to take over from his brother Guthfrith. The Annals of the Four Masters record in 962 “a victory…over Amlaeibh, son of Sitric, by the Osraighi i.e. at Inis-Teoc”[1280]. The Annals of the Four Masters record in 965 that “Muireadhach, son of Faelan, Abbot of Cill-dara, and royal heir of Leinster, was slain by Amhlaeibh, lord of the foreigners, and by Cearbhall, son of Lorcan”[1281]. The Annals of the Four Masters record in 975 that “Muircheartach, son of Domhnall Ua Neill, and Conghalach, son of Domhnall, son of Conghalach, two heirs to the monarchy of Ireland, were slain by Amhlaeibh, son of Sitric”[1282]. The Annals of the Four Masters record in 978 "the battle of Teamhair…gained by Maelseachlainn, son of Domhnall, over the foreigners of Ath-cliath and of the Islands, and over the sons of Amhlaeibh in particular", where "Ragnhall son of Amhlaeibh heir to the sovereignty of the foreigners” was killed, adding that "after this Amhlaeibh went across the sea and died at l-Coluim-Cille"[1283]. The Annals of Tigernach record that “Olaf son of Sitric high-king over the Foreigners of Dublin” died in Iona in [978/79] after being defeated by “Mael-Sechnaill the Great”[1284], the battle being dated between 978 and 980 in different sources (see below).

Her marriages are confirmed by the Annals of Tigernach which record that “MaelSechnaill son of Domnall and Glún iarainn (Ironknee) son of Olaf, son of MaelSechnail´s mother” defeated “Domnall Clóen, son of Lorcán, and Imar of Waterford” in [981/82][1285].

She married secondly Brian Boru, and thirdly, as his [third] wife, Maelsechnaill King of Ireland. The Annals of Tigernach record the death in 1030 of “Gormlaith, daughter of Murchad son of Fland” mother of “Sitric son of Olaf king of the Foreigners and of Donnchad son of Brian king of Munster”[1286]. The Annals of the Four Masters record the death in 1030 of “Gormlaith daughter of Murchadh son of Finn, mother of the king of the foreigners Sitric, Donnchadh son of Brian king of Munster, and Conchobhar son of Maeleachlainn king of Teamhair”[1287]."

CGH = Corpus Genealogiarum Hiberniae, edited by M. A. O'Brien (Dublin, 1962). This book is a critical edition of the genealogies from R, with variant readings from LL, Lec., and BB, followed by all of the genealogies of LL which are not in R, with variant readings from Lec. and BB. Citations from CGH are generally given by showing the citations from the original manuscript(s) first (taken from the citations in CGH), followed by the page from CGH in parentheses (in the form CGH.#, plus the section number from Rw, if the genealogy is from R). For two reviews of CGH, which also comment on the early Irish genealogical manuscripts in general, see PNIG, and the review by Francis John Byrne in Zeitschrift für Celtische Philologie 29 (1962-4), 381-5.
LL = The Book of Leinster (6 vols., Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 1954-83), of which the king lists appear in vol. 1 (ed. Best, Bergin, and O'Brien, Dublin, 1954) and the genealogies are in vol. 6 (ed. Anne O'Sullivan, Dublin, 1983). The Genealogies from LL also appeared in CGH, as variant reading from R in those cases where the genealogy also appeared in R. The numbers cited are the page and column from the original MS, as edited by O'Brien in CGH, along with the page number from CGH. (I did not give page numbers from O'Sullivan's version, as I do not have easy access to that book, but as the MS page and column are clearly identified in that version, the references should be easy to locate for anyone using that source.)
Rw = The World Wide Web version of R, available at the CELT (Corpus of Electronic Texts) website (http://www.ucc.ie/celt/). Based on O'Brien's critical edition in CGH, it gives only the readings from R (without variants from LL, Lec., BB, as in CGH), but adds convenient section numbers (not a part of the original MS), and these section numbers have been used for citations from Rw. The introduction to Rw on that website also contains an excellent bibliography of early Irish genealogical works in general.1

     Dúnlaith (?) married Domnall Donn (?)
;
Her 1st husband.4 Dúnlaith (?) married Olaf Sitricson Cuarán (?) King of Dublin and York, son of Sihtric Cáech (?) King of Dublin and York and Unknown (?), after 952
;
His 2nd wife.1
     ; Per Med Lands:
     "OLAF [Amlaib] Sihtricsson, son of SIHTRIC King of York & his first wife --- ([900]-Iona [978/80]). Given the date of his death, and the record of activities of the sons of King Sihtric in 922, it is likely that Olaf was born in [900]. [The Annals of Clonmacnoise record in 922 that "Maceilgi with the sons of Sittrick tooke Dublyn on Godfrey"[1270]. The source does not name Sihtric´s sons who were involved in this campaign.] He was accepted as King of York by the Northumbrians in 927 after the death of his father, and was supported by his uncle Guthfrith who came from Dublin. However, Æthelstan invaded Northumbria and expelled Olaf, who joined his father's former associates in Ireland[1271]. The Annals of the Four Masters record in 938 that “Amhlaeibh Cuaran went to Cair-Abroc”[1272]. Florence of Worcester records that Olaf joined his cousin at York in 940 and was elected King of York[1273]. Simeon of Durham records that "the son of Sihtric named Onlaf reigned over the Northumbrians" in 941 but was driven out in 943[1274]. He lost the territories gained by Olaf Guthfrithson to Edmund King of Wessex in 942, and he was driven out of York and deposed in favour of his cousin Rægnald. He returned to Northumbria in 944, reasserting himself as king in opposition to Rægnald, but he was expelled by Edmund King of Wessex later that year[1275]. Simeon of Durham records that King Edmund expelled "king…Anlaf the son of Sihtric and [king] Reignold the son of Guthferth" from Northumbria in 944[1276]. Florence of Worcester records that Eadmund King of Wessex expelled "duos reges, Anlafum regis…Sihtrici filium, et Reignoldum Guthferthi filium" from Northumbria, undated but dateable to [944] from the context[1277]. King of Dublin: the Annals of the Four Masters record that “Blacaire one of the chiefs of the foreigners was expelled from Dublin” in 943 and “Amhlaeibh remained after him there”[1278]. The Annals of Ulster record that "Blacair gave up Áth Cliath” in 945 and that “Amlaíb succeeded him”[1279]. He returned to York once more in 949, expelling King Erik "Blodøks/Blood-axe", but was finally driven out in his turn by Erik in 952, when he returned to Dublin to take over from his brother Guthfrith. The Annals of the Four Masters record in 962 “a victory…over Amlaeibh, son of Sitric, by the Osraighi i.e. at Inis-Teoc”[1280]. The Annals of the Four Masters record in 965 that “Muireadhach, son of Faelan, Abbot of Cill-dara, and royal heir of Leinster, was slain by Amhlaeibh, lord of the foreigners, and by Cearbhall, son of Lorcan”[1281]. The Annals of the Four Masters record in 975 that “Muircheartach, son of Domhnall Ua Neill, and Conghalach, son of Domhnall, son of Conghalach, two heirs to the monarchy of Ireland, were slain by Amhlaeibh, son of Sitric”[1282]. The Annals of the Four Masters record in 978 "the battle of Teamhair…gained by Maelseachlainn, son of Domhnall, over the foreigners of Ath-cliath and of the Islands, and over the sons of Amhlaeibh in particular", where "Ragnhall son of Amhlaeibh heir to the sovereignty of the foreigners” was killed, adding that "after this Amhlaeibh went across the sea and died at l-Coluim-Cille"[1283]. The Annals of Tigernach record that “Olaf son of Sitric high-king over the Foreigners of Dublin” died in Iona in [978/79] after being defeated by “Mael-Sechnaill the Great”[1284], the battle being dated between 978 and 980 in different sources (see below).
     "m firstly ---. No record has been found in any primary sources which confirms this supposed first marriage. However, given Olaf´s estimated birth date, it is likely that he was married before his marriage to the widow of Domnall.
     "m [secondly] (after 952) as her second husband, ---, widow of DOMNALL, daughter of ---. Her marriages are confirmed by the Annals of Tigernach which record that “MaelSechnaill son of Domnall and Glún iarainn (Ironknee) son of Olaf, son of MaelSechnail´s mother” defeated “Domnall Clóen, son of Lorcán, and Imar of Waterford” in [981/82][1285].
     "m [thirdly] as her first husband, GORMLAITH, daughter of MURCHAD MacFinn King of Leinster & his wife --- (-1030). She married secondly Brian Boru, and thirdly, as his [third] wife, Maelsechnaill King of Ireland. The Annals of Tigernach record the death in 1030 of “Gormlaith, daughter of Murchad son of Fland” mother of “Sitric son of Olaf king of the Foreigners and of Donnchad son of Brian king of Munster”[1286]. The Annals of the Four Masters record the death in 1030 of “Gormlaith daughter of Murchadh son of Finn, mother of the king of the foreigners Sitric, Donnchadh son of Brian king of Munster, and Conchobhar son of Maeleachlainn king of Teamhair”[1287]."

The Annals of the Four Masters record the birth in 925 of “Brian son of Ceinnedigh” adding that this was “24 years before Maelseachlainn son of Domnhall”[984], although this proposed date of birth of Brian is improbable considering the date of his death. The Annals of Tigernach record that “Brian mac Cendéidigh” attacked “Inis Cathaig (Scattery Island)…[and] therein the Foreigners of Limerick…Imar, and Olaf one of his sons and Dubchenn his other son” in [975/76][985]. The Annals of Ulster record that "Brian son of Cennétig” killed “Mael Muad king of Desmumu” in battle in 978[986]. The Annals of Inisfallen record that "Brian son of Cennétig” defeated and killed “Mael Muad son of Bran king of Caisel” at “the battle of Belach Lechta” in 978[987]. King of Munster. The Annals of Inisfallen record that "Brian son of Cennétig…and Mael Sechnaill son of Domnall king of Temuir” divided Ireland between them in 997 “Leth Cuinn to Mael Sechnaill and Leth Moga to Brian”[988]. High King of Ireland 1002. The Annals of Tigernach record that “Brían Boroma regnat” in [999/1000][989]. The Chronicon of Mariano Scotti records that "Brian rex Hiberniæ" was killed "1014 IX Kal Mai"[990]. Orkneyinga Saga records that Sigurd Jarl of Orkney went to Ireland “five years after the Battle of Svoldur” to support “King Sigtrygg Silk-Beard” against “King Brian of Ireland”, and left “his elder sons in charge of the earldom”, but was killed in the battle in which King Brian was killed[991]. The Annals of Ulster record that "Brian son of Ceinnéitig son of Lorcán king of Ireland and Mael Sechnaill son of Domnall king of Temair" led an army to “Áth Cliath” in 1014, adding that Brian was killed in the battle[992]. The Annals of the Four Masters record that “Brian son of Ceinneidigh monarch of Ireland in the 88th year of his age” was killed in 1013 in the battle [of Clontarf][993].
     "m [firstly] ---. The name of Brian´s first wife is not known. However, it is probable that he was married before his marriage to Gormlaith in order to have grandson who was killed in battle in 1014.
     "m [secondly] (after 981, [separated]) as her second husband, GORMLAITH, widow of OLAF Sihtricsson King of Dublin, daughter of MORUGH MacFinn King of Leinster & his wife --- (-1030). The Annals of Tigernach record the death in 1030 of “Gormlaith, daughter of Murchad son of Fland” mother of “Sitric son of Olaf king of the Foreigners and of Donnchad son of Brian king of Munster”[994]. Brian must have separated from his wife Gormlaith if the reference to his wife Dub is correct, unless the marriages were polygamous. She married thirdly, as his [third] wife, Maelsechnaill King of Ireland. The Annals of the Four Masters record the death in 1030 of “Gormlaith daughter of Murchadh son of Finn, mother of the king of the foreigners Sitric, Donnchadh son of Brian king of Munster, and Conchobhar son of Maeleachlainn king of Teamhair”[995].
     "m [thirdly] DUB Chablaig, daughter of [CATHAL King of Connaught & his wife ---] (-1009). The Annals of Ulster record the death in 1009 of "Dub Chablaig daughter of the king of Connacht…wife of Brian son of Ceinnéitig"[996]. The name of her father is not given. However, it is reasonable to suppose that he was Cathal who was king of Connaught at the time."

The numbers cited are the page and column, as cited in CGH, which is my source for most of the readings from BB given here. The only case for which I consulted [a microfilm of] BB directly was the Uí Briúin Seóla pedigree in BB.90b. BB is available on film number 101014 at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. (This microfilm copy of the original manuscript of BB is a poor one, having been overexposed by the person doing the filming, but the Uí Briúin Seóla genealogy in BB.90b is readable.)
CGH = Corpus Genealogiarum Hiberniae, edited by M. A. O'Brien (Dublin, 1962). This book is a critical edition of the genealogies from R, with variant readings from LL, Lec., and BB, followed by all of the genealogies of LL which are not in R, with variant readings from Lec. and BB. Citations from CGH are generally given by showing the citations from the original manuscript(s) first (taken from the citations in CGH), followed by the page from CGH in parentheses (in the form CGH.#, plus the section number from Rw, if the genealogy is from R). For two reviews of CGH, which also comment on the early Irish genealogical manuscripts in general, see PNIG, and the review by Francis John Byrne in Zeitschrift für Celtische Philologie 29 (1962-4), 381-5.
LL = The Book of Leinster (6 vols., Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 1954-83), of which the king lists appear in vol. 1 (ed. Best, Bergin, and O'Brien, Dublin, 1954) and the genealogies are in vol. 6 (ed. Anne O'Sullivan, Dublin, 1983). The Genealogies from LL also appeared in CGH, as variant reading from R in those cases where the genealogy also appeared in R. The numbers cited are the page and column from the original MS, as edited by O'Brien in CGH, along with the page number from CGH. (I did not give page numbers from O'Sullivan's version, as I do not have easy access to that book, but as the MS page and column are clearly identified in that version, the references should be easy to locate for anyone using that source.)
Rw = The World Wide Web version of R, available at the CELT (Corpus of Electronic Texts) website (http://www.ucc.ie/celt/). Based on O'Brien's critical edition in CGH, it gives only the readings from R (without variants from LL, Lec., BB, as in CGH), but adds convenient section numbers (not a part of the original MS), and these section numbers have been used for citations from Rw. The introduction to Rw on that website also contains an excellent bibliography of early Irish genealogical works in general.1
