 * Is Cerball the Kjarvall of Grettir's Saga? Viking Empires, 86-88 says no. Does anyone say yes, i.e. what do Hudson (PoB, 135), Anderson (ESSH, I:328) say?
 * Anderson, 328, note 2: "It is clear that Kiarval who is said to have been attacked in the Barra Is. in 871 is the Irish king Cerball; but the story of Kiarval is probably false. [Then list of annals, conveniently enough]". Quotation of Grettir's saga is 320-321.
 * Hudson, PoB 137, "Several matters are apparent...he raided throughout Ireland, and this suggests that he was a truly great lord, on a scale rivaling the ui Neill princes. A second point is that without the record of the FA, Cerball's power would not be evident from the other surviving Irish records. [...obit in AC with MSmMR and AFmN, last Irish king in the original recension].
 * Note: his marriage arrangement into the High King's family is overwhelming evidence of his high status on the scene. All annalistic references are biased in some form, and Osraige's sudden rise to power in Cerball may be down played in other annals, as he disrupted the Irish order.Ri Osraige (talk) 19:29, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * McTurk?
