[8] The Irish chroniclers use a variety of names for the Scandinavians: _Dibearccai_ (outlaws), _Gaill_ (foreigners), _Gennti_ (Gentiles), and _Pagánaigh_ (Pagans). They also distinguish between Danes and Norsemen. The Danes were known as _Danair_, _Danmarcaigh_, _Dubh Gennti_ (Black Gentiles), and _Dubh-Gaill_. The word _Dubh-Gaill_ (Black Foreigners) still survives in the personal names _Doyle_ and _MacDowell_ and in the place-name _Baldoyle_. The Norsemen were called _Finn-Gaill_ (Fair Foreigners), _Finn-Genti_, _Nortmannai_ (Lat. Northmanni) and _Lochlannaigh_ (_i.e._, men of _Lochlann_ or Norway). [9] _Annals of Ulster_, A.D. 851 (= 852). [10] _Three Fragments of Annals_, p. 127. Vogt (_Dublin som Norsk By_, p. 66) suggests that Olaf was related to Turgeis, the first Norse King of Ireland, and to Earl Tomrair (O.N. Thórarr), “_tanist_ of the King of Lochlann,” who fell in the battle of Scaith Neachtain (847). On the other hand it may be noted here that the Annalist errs in making Olaf a brother of Ivarr the Boneless. [11] _Annals of Ulster_, A.D. 870. [12] _Three Fragments of Annals_, p. 195. The _Landnámabók_, II., ch. 15 says that “Olaf fell in battle in Ireland,” but this is surely a mistake. [13] _Annals of Ulster_, _sub anno_, 872 (= 873). [14] Cf. _War of the Gaedhil with the Gaill_, p. 27. Cf. also the entries in the _Annals of Ulster_: “Ruaidhri, son of Muirmenn King of the Britons came to Ireland, fleeing before the Black Foreigners” (an. 876). “The shrine of Colum-Cille and all his relics were brought to Ireland to escape the Foreigners” (an. 877). [15] The _War of the Gaedhil with the Gaill_ (p. 27) mentions another battle between Fair and Black Gentiles, in which many of the latter were killed. [16] It is extremely difficult to identify these two princes owing to the similarity between their names. It has been suggested that Sighfrith is the Siefredus or Sievert who ruled jointly with Guthred-Cnut (d. c. 894) as King of Northumbria, while Sitriucc son of Ivarr is probably the “Sitric comes” whose name appears on a coin dating from this period. (See A. Mawer: _The Scandinavian Kingdom of Northumbria_, pp. 11-13. Saga-book of the Viking Club, VII. Part I.) [17] _Annals of Ulster_, A.D. 916. [18] _Annals of Ulster_, A.D. 918. _War of the Gaedhil with the Gaill_, p. 37. An entry in the _Anglo-Saxon Chronicle_ (A.D. 921), referring to the result of this battle, runs:--“In this year King Sihtric slew his brother Niel.” There is, however, no evidence in Irish sources that Sihtric and Niall were brothers, or even half-brothers.
