Margaret de Huntingdon Duchess of Brittany died in 1201 at England.18,4,2,5,3,6,7
      ; Per Med Lands:
     "CONAN de Penthièvre, son of ALAIN Earl of Richmond & his wife Berthe heiress of Brittany ([1138]-18 or 20 Feb 1171, bur Bégard Monastery). The Chronicæ Sancti Albini names "Conanus junior, comes Britanniæ, Alani comitis filius et Berta mater eius comitissa" when recording his death[272]. The Genealogia Comitum Richemundiæ records that "Conanus filius Alani" succeeded his father "in honorem Richemundiæ" and built "turrim magnam infra Castellum Richemundiæ"[273]. He invaded Brittany in 1156, captured Rennes, expelled his stepfather who was taken prisoner by Raoul de Fougères, and succeeded as CONAN IV "le Petit" Duke of Brittany. He seized the county of Nantes on the death in 1158 of Geoffroy Comte de Nantes, son of Henry II King of England. King Henry II deprived Duke Conan of the lordship of Richmond, but it was returned to him under the agreement reached in Sep 1158. "Conan dux Britannie comes Richmundie" confirmed the donation of Plubihan and Plougasnou to Saint-Georges de Rennes by charter to [1156/69], witnessed by "Margarita comitissa, Willelmo filio Hamon, Alano de Rohan, Constancia sorore comitis…"[274]. Duke Conan confiscated Tréguier and Guingamp from his uncle Comte Henri. He was forced to surrender Brittany to King Henry II in 1166, on the betrothal of his daughter to Henry's son, who was proclaimed Duke of Brittany in 1169. The Chronicæ Sancti Albini record that "Conanus junior, comes Britanniæ, Alani comitis filius et Berta mater eius comitissa" was dying in 1169 and that Henry II King of England subjugated Brittany and placed his son Geoffroy to rule there through "Guillelmi filii Hamonis"[275]. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1171 of "Conanus dux Britanniæ"[276]. The Chronicon Britannico Alter records the death in 1171 of "Conanus junior Dux Britanniæ"[277]. The necrology of Landévennec records the death “XII Kal Mar” of “Conanus dux Britanniæ 1171”[278]. The Chronicon Kemperlegiensis records the death "XX Feb" in 1171 of "Conanus Dux Britanniæ et Comes Richemundiæ"[279]. The Chronicon Ruyensis Cœnobii records the death in 1171 of "Conani Ducis Britanniæ, Alani et Berthæ filii"[280]. The Genealogia Comitum Richemundiæ records the death in Brittany in 1170 of "Conanus filius Alani" and his burial "Begare"[281].
     "m (1160) as her first husband, MARGARET of Scotland, daughter of HENRY of Scotland, Earl of Huntingdon and Northumberland & his wife Ada de Warenne ([1144/45]-1201, bur Sawtrey Abbey, Hunts). Her origin and first marriage are deduced from Benedict of Peterborough recording that "filia sororis regis Scotiæ Willelmi comitissa Brittaniæ" gave birth in 1186 to "filium…Arturum"[282]. Her birth date is estimated from the Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 which records property “villam de Wissinton” held by “Margareta comitissa…xl annorum”, adding that “comes Britannie habet filiam suam” and that she has “i filium de Humfrido de Buun qui est infra etatem”[283]. The Chronicle of Melrose records the marriage in 1160 of "Malcolm king of Scotland…his sister Margaret to Conan duke of Brittany"[284]. The Genealogia Comitum Richemundiæ records that "Conanus filius Alani" married "Margaretam sororem Willielmi Regis Scotie"[285]. "Conan dux Britannie comes Richmundie" confirmed the donation of Plubihan and Plougasnou to Saint-Georges de Rennes by charter to [1156/69], witnessed by "Margarita comitissa, Willelmo filio Hamon, Alano de Rohan, Constancia sorore comitis…"[286]. She married secondly (before Easter 1175) Humphrey [IV] de Bohun Constable of England. A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey records that “dominus Humfridus quartus de Bohun, comes Herefordiæ et constabularius Angliæ” married “Margaretam comitissam Britanniæ”[287]. The Annals of Burton record the death in 1201 of “Margareta mater…Constantiæ, soror Willelmi regis Scotiæ, mater Henrici de Boum comitis Herefordiæ”[288]."

; Per Genealogics:
     “Margaret was born in 1145, the second eldest daughter of Henry, earl of Huntingdon, earl of Northumberland, and Ada de Warenne. Two of her brothers, Malcolm IV and William 'the Lion', were Scottish kings. She had an older sister Ada, and two younger sisters, Marjorie and Matilda, and she had another brother, David, earl of Huntingdon. In 1152, when she was seven years of age, her father died.
     “In 1160 Margaret married her first husband Conon IV le Petit, duc de Bretagne, earl of Richmond, son of Alain II 'the Black', earl of Richmond, seigneur de Guingamp, and Berthe de Bretagne, heiress of Brittany. Their only child Constance would have progeny.
     “Margaret's husband died in February 1171, leaving her a widow at the age of twenty-six. Shortly before Easter 1171 she married her second husband Humphrey de Bohun, hereditary constable of England, son of Humphrey de Bohun and Margaret of Gloucester. Their son Henry would have progeny.
     “Margaret died in 1201 and was buried in Sawtrey Abbey, Huntingdonshire. Her second husband had died nineteen years earlier, about five years after they were married.”.6

; Per Med Lands:
     "MARGARET ([1144/45]-1201, bur Sawtrey Abbey). Her origin and first marriage are deduced from Benedict of Peterborough who records that "filia sororis regis Scotiæ Willelmi comitissa Brittaniæ" gave birth in 1186 to "filium…Arturum"[463]. Her birth date is estimated from the Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 which records property “villam de Wissinton” held by “Margareta comitissa…xl annorum”, adding that “comes Britannie habet filiam suam” and that she has “i filium de Humfrido de Buun qui est infra etatem”[464]. The Chronicle of Melrose records the marriage in 1160 of "Malcolm king of Scotland…his sister Margaret to Conan duke of Brittany"[465]. The Genealogia Comitum Richemundiæ records that "Conanus filius Alani" married "Margaretam sororem Willielmi Regis Scotie"[466]. "Conan dux Britannie comes Richmundie" confirmed the donation of Plubihan and Plougasnou to Saint-Georges de Rennes by charter to [1156/69], witnessed by "Margarita comitissa, Willelmo filio Hamon, Alano de Rohan, Constancia sorore comitis…"[467]. A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey records that “dominus Humfridus quartus de Bohun, comes Herefordiæ et constabularius Angliæ” married “Margaretam comitissam Britanniæ”[468]. Two possibilities have been proposed for a third marriage of Margaret. Firstly, Evans suggests that she was the second marriage of Pedro de Lara, quoting a charter dated "X Kal Feb 1221" (Spanish Era = A. D. 23 Jan 1183) at Anjou which records a donation by "P…comes de Lara…comitisse Marger’ uxori mee consanguinee H...angl’ regis" of "Molmera et Handaluz et Agusinu et Eles et Pulucranke…in Hyspania" to Llanthony abbey, witnessed by "comes Gaufredus Britannie, J. sine terra, J. comes J, Mauricius de Creon sen[escallus Andeg, J. Didaci comitis"[469]. He points out that Llanthony had been founded in 1136 by Miles of Gloucester, whose eldest daughter married Humphrey de Bohun, who was the father of Margaret’s second husband[470]. If this origin is correct, Pedro’s marriage to Margaret was presumably terminated before her death, given his third marriage. The difficulty with Evans’s proposal is the obvious age difference between Pedro de Lara and Margaret of Scotland. Another possibility, which also justifies the connection with Llanthony through the Bohun family and is more satisfactory from a chronological point of view, is that Pedro’s second wife was an otherwise unrecorded daughter of Margaret’s. The second possibility for a third marriage for Margaret with "the Berwickshire thegn" William FitzPatrick of Greenlaw, Westmoreland was proposed by Washington[471], and accepted by Hedley[472]. The Liber de S. Marie de Calchou (Kelso abbey) lists "Carta Willi fil Patric…in villa de Grenlaw" which records the donation by "M comitisse uxoris mee" to Kelso of land "in Grenelawe quem Lyolfus eq’cius tenuit"[473], while the Pipe Roll of 1184 for Westmoreland records lands owned by "Countess Margaret"[474]. Washington assigns three children to this marriage: "1. Walter de Washington, 2. Sir William de Washington, 3. Marjory who married firstly David de Lindsay (from which marriage descended Sir Robert de Pinkney, a competitor for the Scottish crown in 1291) and secondly Sir Malcolm FitzWaldeve alias de Ingoe".] The Annals of Burton record the death in 1201 of “Margareta mater…Constantiæ, soror Willelmi regis Scotiæ, mater Henrici de Boum comitis Herefordiæ”[475].
     "m firstly (1160) CONAN IV "le Petit" Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son of ALAIN Earl of Richmond & his wife Berthe heiress of Brittany ([1138]-18 or 20 Feb 1171).
     "m secondly (1171 before Easter) HUMPHREY [IV] de Bohun, son of HUMPHREY [III] de Bohun & his wife Margaret of Hereford (-[1180]). Hereditary Constable of England.
     "[Two possible alternatives for her third marriage: (1) m thirdly as his second wife, conde don PEDRO Manrique de Lara Vicomte de Narbonne, son of conde don MANRIQUE Pérez de Lara & his wife Ermesinde Ctss de Narbonne (-Jan 1202, bur Santa María de Huerta).

Ragnald (?) King of the Isles was born circa 1144 at Morven, Argyle, Scotland.
Ragnald (?) King of the Isles died circa 1210.1
      ; REGINALD OF THE ISLES, styled "King of the Isles, Ld of Argyll and Kintyre."8 Ragnald (?) King of the Isles was also known as Rognvald Sumarlidasson Lord of the Isles.9 He was King of the Isles: RAGNALD king of the Isles, 1164-c1210. The second son of SOMERLED who inherited his father's mighty fleet. Ragnald originally inherited only Islay and the Kintyre peninsula and shared Arran with his younger brother Angus who won it from Ragnald in 1192. His elder brother, DUGALD, inherited Lorne and the islands of Mull, Coil, Tiree and Jura, but after his death, around the year 1192, possession in these islands passed to Ragnald. From that time Ragnald began to style himself king of the Isles and lord of Argyll and Kintyre, effectively all of the original territory of Dál Riata. Although his brothers all had title to call themselves king (and did from time to time as they saw fit) it was Ragnald and his successors who were the primary line of kings of the Isles. Ragnald embodied a mixture of Norse and Gaelic values. He was a Christian with a great respect for the church - he founded monasteries and rebuilt churches destroyed by the Vikings. He brought the Cistercian monks to Saddell in Kintyre in about 1207, which is where he buried his father, and established an Augustinian nunnery on Iona. But with his powerful fleet he patrolled the seas along western Britain plundering when opportunity allowed. between 1164 and 1210.1

Somerled (?) 1st Lord of the Isles was buried in January 1164 at Saddell Abbey, Saddell, Argyll and Bute, Scotland; From Find A Grave:
     BIRTH     1118, Saddell, Argyll and Bute, Scotland
     DEATH     Jan 1164 (aged 45–46), Saddell, Argyll and Bute, Scotland
     Somerled was a military and political leader of the Scottish Isles in the 12th century who was known as Somairle mac Gille Brigte, he was also known as "King of the Hebrides." Somerled married Ragnhildis, the daughter of Olave the Red, King of Man sometime around 1140. They had three sons, Dugall, Reginald and Angus. He was traditionally described as "a well-tempered man, in body shapely, of a fair piercing eye, of middle stature, and of quick discernment". He appears, indeed, to have been equally brave and sagacious, tempering courage with prudence, and, excepting in the last act of his life, distinguished for the happy talent, rare at any period, of profiting by circumstances, and making the most of success. He died at the Battle of Renfrew in 1164

     "There are two broad lines of descent claimed from Jarl Thorfinn (aka Thorfinn II). One has many lacunae, that being the descent of the Sinclair Earls of Orkney (later Caithness) allegedly through Jarl Erlend II, Thorfinn's younger son. See Scots Peerage under Caithness and Orkney concerning the theories and evidence (scarce) concerning the descent.
     "The other descent has been oft discussed on SGM, that of the wife of Somerled from Jarl Thorfinn, as follows:
1. Thorfinn II Sigurdsson, aka ?orfinnr Sigur?arson Jarl of Orkney, d. 1065 = Ingebj?rg Finnsd?ttir

     "This line leads to Dougall and Ranald, sons of Somerled and thereby to the MacDougalls of Lorne, the MacDonalds and MacRuaries, and a host of British lines thereafter. In 2004 evidence that the mother of Ragnhild, Somerled's wife, was indeed Ingebjorg was found by a correspondent of the late Brice Clagett, my notes giving the following:
' ...a footnote (page 274 footnote 3) to Finnbogi Gudmundsson's edition of the Orkneyinga Saga (Reykjavik 1965). The footnote quotes from a ms. called Holm, Isl. 39 fol. papp., in the Icelandic collection of the Royal Library in Stockholm, which contains a text of the Saga copied in 1615 from a ms. of about 1300 which was destroyed in the Copenhagen fire of 1728. Bob says that the Holm, Isl. ms. is considered to have great authority because of the early date of the ms. from which it was copied. The footnote in question quotes a passage from this document which says: "Ragnhildis moder vaar Ingeborg Hagen Jarlis Powelssons daatter." '

     "See the archives for Brice Clagett, "Somerled's mother-in-law", SGM, 28 Sept 2004. This has since been published by Andrew B. W. MacEwen [an article in West Highland Notes and Queries, not seen], who concurs with the validity of the relationship."8

; Per Burke's: "SOMERLED, Thane of Argyll, in the 12th century, was Ch of an Irish family which had settled in Argyll. He was s of Gillibrede, and grandson of Orila Domnan, and was slain at Renfrew 1164, while leading an expedition against MALCOLM IV of Scotland. SOMERLED, 1st Ld of the Isles, captured Dunollie Castle 1150, and gave it to his s Dugall; m 1140, as his 2nd wife, Ragnhild, dau of Olav II Godredson, King of Man and the Isles 1114-54, and had issue, (some authorities, including the late Dr W. Douglas Simpson, CBE, of Aberdeen U, late chm of the Ancient Monuments Bd for Scotland, asserting that Dugall was the elder bro.)3"

; Per Genealogics:
     "Somerled is a Scandinavian name meaning 'summer wanderer' or Viking. In the beginning he was ruler of Argyll, but later challenged his brother-in-law Godfrey, son of Olaf, King of Man, for mastery in the Isles. In 1156 Somerled defeated Godfrey in a sea battle and forced a division of the Kingdom of the Isles. Godfrey and his successors retained the Isle of Man, Skye and Lewis while Somerled and his descendants took Islay, Mull and perhaps the Uists as well. According to the _Chronicle of Man_, the downfall of the Kingdom of the Islands began when the sons of Somerled took possession of it.
     "Somerled wished to re-establish the prestige of Iona and tried unsuccessfully to persuade Flaherty O'Brolchan, Columba's successor in Ireland, to become Abbot there.
     "Somerled's growing power in the region presented a serious threat to the King of Scots. In 1160 he and Malcolm IV reached an agreement, but despite their treaty Somerled invaded Renfrew in 1164 only to be killed early in the ensuing battle."4 EDV-26.

; Per Burke's: The House of Macdonald, derives in history from Somerled, Regulus or provincial King of Argyll who fell at Renfrew in a campaign against KING MALCOLM IV 1164. By his wife Raghhild, dau of Olaf, King of Man and the Isles, he left with other issue (including a yr s, Dougal of Lorne, ancestor of the Clan Macdougal.)14" Somerled (?) 1st Lord of the Isles was also known as Somerled mac Gillebride King of the South Isles, King in Argyll and Lorn.4

; Per Scottish Tartans:
     "Clan MacDonald: The MacDonalds are of very ancient origin. The clan founder was the heroic Somerled, who freed his countrymen from the Norse yoke, and rose to power that no subject has equalled. He died in 1164, leaving three sons. The second, Reginald, died in 1207, leaving, with other issue, an eldest son, Donald, from whom the clan takes its name. As Lords of the Isles and Earls of Ross, the Clan Donald were the greatest of the Highland clans, their chief until 1493 ranking as an Island Soverign. After the fall of the Lords of the Isles, first Glengarry, and then the Lords of Sleat held the chiefship. The branches of Clan Donald were Macalisters, MacIans of Ardnamurchan, Madonalds of Glencoe, Flanranald, Dunyveg in Islay, Keppoch, Loch Alsh, and Sleat. Glengarry was a cadet of Clanranald. The chief of the Glencoe MacDonalds, Mac-Vic-Ian-Mac-Ian, was, with many of his clan, massacred in 1692. He remained constant in his adherence to King James, then took the oath to serve William of Orange, but was rewarded with an act of treachery. Since 1947, Lor Macdonald has born the undifferenced arms of the Head of Clan Donald."15

; NB: I am uncertain about the link between Margad (Echmarcach) Ragnallson and Somelred.
     My source for the link between Gillbride (father of Somerled) and Margad (Echmarcach) Ragnallson is Ashley (1998). A chart in Ashley (chart 25, p. 420) shows the following:
1. Margad
1.1 Gilleadamnan
1.1.1 Gillebride
1.1.1.1 Somerled

     None of my the major sources I have consulted (Genealogics, Med Lands) link Gillebride to Margad (Echmarcach) Ragnallson, though Margad (Echmarcach) seems to have been a historic person, according to his Wikipedia entry.
     Genealogics shows a similar ancestry for Somerled which has a "Solmund" as the father of Gilleadamnan/Gilladamnan (citing The Highland Clans, London, 1977 , Moncreiffe of that Ilk, Hicks, David):
1. Solmund
1.1 Gilladamnan
1.1.1 Gillebride, claimant of Argyll
1.1.1.1 Somerled, King of the South Isles, King in Argyll and Lorn

     Genealogics shows no ancestor or dates for Gilleadamnan/Gilladamnan. There is no reason to believe that Solmund is simply another name for Margad (Echmarcach) Ragnallson.
Conclusion: I am uncertain as to whether the father of Gilleadamnan/Gilladamnan was Margad or Solmund, and if there were the same person. However, for the present, I have identified Margad as Solmund and kept the lineage to Somerled in place. GA Vaut.16,17,18,19 He was King of the Isles, [Ashley, pp. 432-434] SOMERLED king of the Isles, 1156-64. Somerled was the son of Gillebride, thane of Argyll, and was descended from RAGNALL, the Danish king of York. He was born in Ireland (where his father had been exiled by the Scots king EDGAR) perhaps around the year 1105. His mother was Norse, the daughter of SIGURD II of Orkney, and she named the boy with a typical Norse nickname, which means "summer voyager". We know little of his early life, but he seems to have regained his heritage sometime before 1130, because he was already styled thane of Argyll when his sister married Malcolm, the illegitimate son of ALEXANDER I of Scotland. Somerled was a skilled negotiator from an early age and he had probably re-established himself with the Scottish king DAVID, for by 1138 he was in charge of the West Highland contingent of David's army. He also talked his way into the confidence of OLAF (I), king of Man, whose daughter, Ragnhild, he married in 1140. Throughout these years Somerled maintained a strong affection for the kingdom of the Gaels, not the rapidly anglicised or Anglo-Norman kingdom that King David had developed. Although it was the way of the future, Somerled rejected it. He was unable to convince David, but when the new and very young king, MALCOLM IV, succeeded to the throne in 1153, Somerled tried again. In 1154 Somerled and his nephews rebelled against Malcolm IV. At this same time Olaf of Man had died and his son, GODRED II, had returned to the Isles and was proving something of a despot. Somerled spent two years redesigning and rebuilding his fleet and then, in January 1156 met Godred in battle off Islay. Godred's fleet was the most powerful in Britain and he should have been the victor but Somerled's new design, which allowed him to out-manouevre his opponent, won him the day, though there were significant losses on both sides. As a result Godred and Somerled negotiated and agreed to divide the Isles. Somerled received the southern Hebrides, which consisted of the two main groupings of islands around Islay and Mull. Godred's continued intolerance caused Somerled to bring his fleet against him again in 1158 and this time Godred fled back to Norway. Somerled's claims were upheld and he became king of the Isles, a title accepted by both King Inge of Norway and eventually (in 1160) by Malcolm IV of Scotland. Somerled so ingratiated himself with the Scottish king that he earned the nickname, "sit-by-the-king". Nevertheless his attempts to sway Malcolm toward maintaining the Gaelic heritage remained thwarted. Somerled did try to have the Celtic church reinstated on Iona, and it was only his death that halted this development. In 1164, Somerled raised an army in the hope of forcing Malcolm into treaty. A force of 10,000 men sailed up the Clyde, from where Somerled took half the army on to Renfrew to parley with the king's representatives. Somerled was found murdered the following morning, but his killers were never identified. Somerled was buried on Iona but was apparently later reinterred by his son at Saddell Abbey on Kintyre.
After his death, Godred II regained Man and the northern Hebrides. The rest of Somerled's kingdom was divided between his sons. The eldest, DUGALD, took Lorne and Argyll, with the islands of Mull, Coll, Tiree and Jura. The second, RAGNALD, took Islay and Kintyre, which remained the focal point of the kingdom of the Isles. A third son, Angus, took Arran and Bute. between 1156 and 1164.20 He was King of the Isles

Per Ashley: "HAAKON earl of Orkney, 1105-26. Haakon was the son of PAUL (I). He was probably born about 1070 or soon after and, as he came of age, he became involved in a succession dispute with his cousins, Erling and MAGNUS, the sons of ERLEND II. Haakon became such a problem that in 1093 he was banished and spent the next few years at the courts of the kings of Norway and Sweden. They evidently liked him for in 1098 Haakon convinced Magnus III, the king of Norway, that he should visit his territories to the west. Magnus used this as an opportunity to extend his hold over the Scottish islands. He deposed Paul and Erlend, sending them back to Norway in captivity. They died soon after, and Magnus created his own son, SIGURD (III) king of Orkney and the Isles. Sigurd was only ten, so when Magnus returned to Norway in the spring of 1099, he left Haakon as regent. Sigurd returned to Norway in 1103 after the death of his father, leaving Haakon in charge and, in 1105, created him ear!. Haakon was somewhat displeased when he cousin, MAGNUS, whom he quite possibly thought dead, reappeared in 1106 and was also made earl of Orkney two years later by Sigurd's co-ruler in Norway, King Eystein II. The two cousins ruled together amicably for a while since they both fought against a distant cousin called Duffnial, who laid claim to part of the Orkney estates. However, once he was defeated the old enmity returned and in the resultant conflict Magnus was imprisoned and executed (1117). One tradition states that Haakon later went on a pilgrimage to Rome to expiate his sins and he returned, like his grandfather, an older and a wiser man. He governed the Orkneys with good sense, established new laws which improved on Thorfinn's, and ensured peace for the rest of his reign. He died in 1126. He was married twice, and children of both marriages - PAUL (II) and HARALD (I) -succeeded him." between 1105 and 1126.3

     Paul I Thorfinnsson (?) Jarl of Orkney and Carthness married Ragnhild Haakonsdatter (?), daughter of Jarl Haakon Iversson (?) Earl of Uplands/Jarl in Denmark and Ragnhild Magnusdatter (?).
Paul I Thorfinnsson (?) Jarl of Orkney and Carthness was born circa 1040 at Orkney, Scotland.
Paul I Thorfinnsson (?) Jarl of Orkney and Carthness died in 1099.2
Paul I Thorfinnsson (?) Jarl of Orkney and Carthness died in 1103 at Bergan, Hordaland, Norway.
     GAV-31 EDV-27. He was joint earl of Orkney: [Ashley, pp. 450-451] PAUL (I) joint earl of Orkney, c1060-98 with ERLEND. Paul was the elder son of THORFINN II and inherited the earldom with his brother ERLEND (II). It is possible that both were installed as earls of Caithness in 1057, prior to Thorfinn's death, suggesting that the earldom may have become regarded as a title for the heir(s) apparent. We do not know for certain when Paul was born, but it was probably about 1038. Already by that date Thorfinn was professing his Christian beliefs by naming his first-born Paul, unless he was not christened until Thorfinn's visit to the pope in 1048. When the brothers inherited the earldom they ruled it jointly and did not divide the lands or revenues between them. It seems they worked well together and generally agreed in all their actions. Soon after their father's death, Harald Hardraada, the king of Norway, arrived in the Orkneys prior to his invasion of England. He raised additional levies from amongst the earldom, which stretched as far as the Western Isles, and when he sailed for England in 1066, he was accompanied by both earls. Although Harald was defeated by HAROLD II of England at Stamford Bridge in September 1066, the two earls survived and returned to Orkney with Harald's son, Olaf, who remained with them during that winter before returning to establishing himself as king of Norway the following year. It is evident that they did not believe they had authority over all of the Western Isles, since they were not involved in the usurpation of Man by GODRED CROVAN in 1079. For most of their reign the two earls governed wisely and continued to develop and promote the bishopric of Orkney, but by the year 1090 or so a rift occurred between them over the ambitions of their respective sons, especially Paul's son HAAKON. Haakon was eventually banished from Orkney in 1093, and he stayed in Norway and Sweden for the next few years. It was he who encouraged Magnus III of Norway to visit his estates in the western seas and this planted the idea of Magnus installing his son, SIGURD (III), as king of the Orkneys, using the islands as an appanage for the heir to the throne. Magnus sailed to the Orkneys in the spring of 1098 and deposed the two earls, despite the care they had shown to his father Olaf. The earls were taken in captivity back to Norway where they both died within the year, Paul at Bergen and Erlend at Nidaros (Trondheim). between 1060 and 1098.8
