Olaf Godredson's death
Duffy, in the ODNB blurb on Godred Crovan, Olaf Godredson, and Godred Olafsson, gives the date of Olaf's assassination as "29 June". I wonder where that date comes from. It's not in the Manx chronicle translations I've seen by Anderson and Munch. Does anyone know? I like to know when a piece of information is from a specific historical source, and not just surmised or theorised by someone. I suppose that, since it's a precise date, it must come from one of the primary sources he lists at the end of his blurb. Hopefully it's online somewhere. These are what Duffy lists for the ODNB blurb for the three. --Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 10:57, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Ah never-mind. The chronicle says "the day of the apostles Saints Peter and Paul". Good thing Anderson put a footnote in, that completely flew over my head.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 11:18, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Ua Cuilé(i)n
The only Ua Cuiléin I know of are the Ó Coileáin of Mumu. I know next to nothing about Muirchertach Mac Lochlainn. Does Duffy offer more? DinDraithou (talk) 07:29, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Whoops. Duffy specifically says "she was Caillech Críst, daughter of a man called Ua Cuilén" - I'll make that more clear in the article. This is all his 'Irishmen and Islesmen', BTW. He continues: "One may note, for what it may be worth, that An Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh's genealogy of the Uí Fhiachrach Muaid (whose tribal territory encompassed that held by Ua Siblen of Uí Echach Muaid) records a grandson of the legendary Fiachra Ealgach called Cuilén, 'from whom are [descended] the Uí Cuilén of Ath Fen' (unidentified, but in the same area of County Mayo) (John O'Donovan (ed.), The genealogies, tribes, and customs of Hy-Fiachrach (Dublin 1844), 98-101)".--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 08:36, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh! I feel stupid now. I've haven't looked at Duffy for a long time. In any event the Ua Cuiléin of Munster were still prominent during this time. They appear a number of times more in the annals than I have in their article, which I should get back to, and mention this other unrelated sept. The killer wife of the one stabbed to death in 1266 was probably a daughter of the king of Desmond. Their pedigree also survives in sources, going into Norman times. But a Cenél nEógain-Uí Conaill marriage alliance seems pointless. DinDraithou (talk) 18:18, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Roman Numerals
Any reason not to move this article to Godred Olafsson, per related discussion at Talk:Rögnvaldr Óláfsson (fl. 1164)? Ben  Mac  Dui  07:44, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
