     Ketil "Flatnose" (?) died circa 870.³
     GAV-37. He was King of the Wester Isles: [Ashley, p. 423] KETIL FIND or FLATNOSE Western Isles, c853-c66. Ketil Flatnose was one of the heroes of Norse Saga, the son of Björn Roughfoot, and one of the companions of the Norwegian king Harald Finehair on his expedition to the Scottish Isles in the ninth century. The legend probably bears some comparison with historical reality, although the king was not Harald, but OLAF THE WHITE, who established himself as king of the Norse in Dublin. Olaf married Ketil's daughter, Aud the Deep-Minded, probably at about the same time (c853). Ketil is probably the same as Caitill Find (Ketil the Fair), successor to GODRED MAC FERGUS as leader of the Gall-Gaedhil, a mixed Norse-Irish community that had grown in Ireland over the last fifty years. Ketil became rather too ambitious. He was charged by Olaf with ridding the Hebrides of Danish pirates, which he did successfully, but he set himself up as king of the Hebrides without Olaf's consent. Olaf was dissatisfied with Ketil and divorced Aud, who returned bitter to the Western Isles. Ketil remained as ruler, but had to submit to Olaf. In 866 Olaf embarked on his own conquest of Scotland and Ketil's authority further diminished. He died soon after, probably about 870. Subsequently his family left the Hebrides and established themselves as a dynasty of some importance in Iceland, where their name is remembered in the Icelandic sagas. Aud's son, THORSTEIN, established himself as the king of Caithness. between 853 and 866.²

     Unknown (?) married Olaf 'The White' Ingjaldsson (?) King of Ireland.¹

     Donald mac Aed King of Strathclyde died in 934.²
     He was King of Strathclyde: [Ashley, pp. 375-376] DONALD MAC AED Strathclyde, 908-24/5. He seems to have been the first king appointed to the new sub-kingdom of Strathclyde after its integration into the kingdom of Scotland. Evidently CONSTANTINE II was endeavouring to form a good relationship with the Strathclyde Britons whose last independent king, EOCHAID, had been driven out by DONALD II. Strathclyde thus maintained a degree of autonomy but its king was appointed by the king of the Scots and was usually the heir to the Scottish throne. Donald was Constantine's younger brother. Constantine's concern at that time was the Viking threat to Scotland, and having a strong steward in charge of the Strathclyde frontier was all important. Donald's role was thus more one of defender of the kingdom than of a ruler. His reign was almost entirely one of conflict with the Vikings which resulted, though, in the treaty between Constantine and RAGNALL of York in 918. Donald was present at the subsequent meeting between EDWARD the Elder and Constantine where Edward sought to have the support of the Scots against the Norse. Some time after this Donald either stepped down as ruler of Strathclyde or was replaced. Although he lived on until 934, his cousin, OWEN MAC DONALD, is recorded as king of Strathclyde in 927. There is some suggestion that Donald's continued support of the Norse kings of York angered the new Saxon king ATHELSTAN when he came to power in 924, and that Constantine thus replaced Donald with the newly recognized heir to the throne. between 908 and 925.¹

     Donald mac Donald King of Strathclyde was King of Strathclyde: [Ashley, pp. 376-377] DONALD MAC DONALD Strathclyde, 937-45. It is not entirely clear what happened after the death of OWEN at the battle of Brunanburh. It seems likely that the kingship of Strathclyde was disputed between the rightful heir, who was subsequently MALCOLM I of Scotland, and the sons of DONALD MAC AED, who had apparently established themselves in Strathclyde by the early 940s. There names are not recorded, and the suggestion in the slightly confused chronicle of Florence of Worcester that one may have been called Donald may in fact be a confusion with their father. Strathclyde was riven with Scottish, British and Norse factions and was a potential powder keg. The Saxons were also concerned about this territory because it formed part of the link between the Norse of Dublin and of York. The reign of EDMUND of Wessex was filled with his campaign against the Norse which eventually resolved itself in 943. Two years later Edmund invaded Cumbria, and deposed the sons of Donald, blinding them. Their fate, thereafter, is not known. Edmund handed Cumbria over to Malcolm, who had become king of Scotland in 943. He inaugurated INDULF, CONSTANTINE'S son, as the king. between 937 and 945.¹ He was living in 945.²

     Guillaume II Taillefer (?) Comte d'Angoulême was born circa 905.⁵

; Per Med Lands:
     "GUILLAUME [II] "Taillefer/Sector-ferri" (-[945], bur Angoulême Saint-Cybard). The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes names "Willelmi cognomento Sectoris ferri" as son of "Alduinus"[464]. He succeeded his father in 916 as Comte d'Angoulême. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that Guillaume II Duke of Aquitaine granted "vicecomitatum Mellensem et Oenacensem et Rocacardensem honoremque Cabannensem et Confolentis, Roffiacum" to Guillaume [II] Comte d’Angoulême, presumably dated to the 940s[465]. "Guillelmus comes" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Cybard by charter dated after 942, subscribed by "Domni Guillelmi comitis et monachi, Bernardi comitis, Arnaldi filii sui, comitis, Odolrici vice comitis, Ademari vicecomitis…Ademari comitis filii Guillelmi"[466]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that the testament of "Willelmus Sector ferri", presumably dated to [945], was signed by "Bernardus comes, Arnoldus filius Bernardi, Odolricus vicecomes, Adhemarus vicecomes, Arnaldus filius Willelmi, Adhemarus filius Willelmi"[467]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Willelmus…Sector ferri" was buried "iuxta basilicam Sancti Eparchii"[468]."

; Per Genealogics:
     “Guillaume II was the son of Alduin I, comte d'Angoulême. Because he was still a minor when his father died in 917, Adémar, his uncle by marriage, first ruled in Angoulême. Guillaume did not marry, but he had two illegitimate sons.
     “Guillaume had a reputation as a fighter against the Vikings invading Aquitaine for several decades. The chronicler Adémar de Chabannes wrote that Guillaume, during a battle against the Vikings, challenged their leader Storin to a duel, and despite Storin's iron armour Guillaume split his body lengthwise into two halves with one sword cut. Hence his nickname _Sector ferri_ ('Taillefer', Iron Cleaver), which became the family name of his descendants.
     “Guillaume's will dates from 945, and he probably died soon after. He was buried in the abbey of Saint-Cybard. Either because Guillaume's elder son Arnauld Mancer was still under age at his father's death, or because of Arnauld's illegitimacy, Guillaume's cousin from the Perigord, Count Bernard, succeeded Guillaume in Angoulême.”.⁵

     Cuilean (Colin) Ring (?) King of Scotland died in 971.^1,2
     Cuilean (Colin) Ring (?) King of Scotland was also known as Culen (?)³ Cuilean (Colin) Ring (?) King of Scotland was also known as Cullen (?) King of the Scots.² He was King of Scotland: [Ashley, p. 389] CUILEAN RING Scotland, 966/7-71. Cuilean (or Colin) claimed the Scottish throne by expelling DUFF from the kingdom. It seems the war of succession was not solely about the Scottish throne, but about rulership of Strathclyde, which Cuilean might have expected to inherit upon the succession of Duff. That did not happen and Strathclyde passed to DONALD MAC OWEN. After Cuilean gained the Scottish throne, he still seems to have yearned after Strathclyde, which contained the rich and fertile lowlands. He was unsuccessful and was killed in battle against Donald's son, Rhydderch. He was succeeded by KENNETH II between 966 and 971.¹

     Eochaid (?) died in 971.¹

     Olaf (?) died in 977.¹
     He was King of Scotland: [Ashley, p. 390] OLAF Scotland, 971-7. The son of INDULF and brother of CUILEAN, Olaf established a rival claim to the throne during the earlier years of KENNETH II'S reign. The claim seems never to have been recognized formally, though at his death he was recorded as king of the Scots. Even his base of operations is uncertain, though was probably in the Scottish Highlands. He was killed in battle by Kenneth in 977. between 971 and 977.¹

     Constantine III "the Bald" (?) King of Scotland was buried in 997 at Isle of Iona, Argyll and Bute, Scotland.¹
Constantine III "the Bald" (?) King of Scotland died in 997 at Battle at Rathinveramon, Scotland.^1,2
     He was King of Scotland: CONSTANTINE III THE BALD Scotland, 995-7. The son of CUILEAN, Constantine was one of the rival claimants to the throne during the reign of KENNETH II, and it is almost certain that he conspired along with GIRIC II to cause Kenneth's death in 995. His nickname suggests Constantine may already have been into his forties or fifties by this time, and although he had married, he had no children. His reign was brief. His former ally, Giric, almost certainly turned against him once his father, KENNETH III, agreed Giric's own right of succession, and the two defeated and killed Constantine in battle at Rathinveramon. He was buried on Iona. between 995 and 997.¹

     Malcolm (?) was living in 1002.¹

     Owen Caesarius (?) King of Strathclyde died in 937.¹
      ; Owen, king of Strathclyde, living 934. According to Symeon of Durham, Æthelstan, king of Wessex, put to flight Owen, king of the Cumbrians, in 934 [See SAEC 68]. Based on statements by the fourteenth century historian John of Fordun, some later historians have accepted that Strathclyde was ruled during the tenth century by members of the Scottish royal family, and Fordun's statement that Owen (or Eugenius, the Latinized form of the named use by Fordun) was the son of a certain Donald has led some to place Owen as a son of Donald II [See Hudson 147-8]. At one time, this appeared to be supported by a reading from the Scottish Chronicle in the Poppleton Manuscript that seemed to indicate a king of Strathclyde named Duneualdus filius Ede, who would presumably have been a son of Donald II's uncle Áed mac Cináeda [ESSH 1: 445-6; KKES 251], but that piece of evidence was demolished when B. T. Hudson showed that the reading from the chronicle was erroneous, and that it was actually a reference to the Irish king Domnall mac Áeda, king of Ailech [Hudson 145-9], and not to a king of Strathclyde. Since there is now no contemporary evidence to support Fordun's suggestion, it is highly probable that Strathclyde was ruled by its own native dynasty until it ceased to be an independent kingdom in the early eleventh century [See Hudson and sources cited therein for more details].² He was King of Strathclyde [Ashley, 1998, p. 376] OWEN CAESARIUS (III) Strathclyde, 925-937. Owen came to power at the same time as the new Saxon king ATHELSTAN, and it may be that CONSTANTINE II of Scotland replaced the former Strathclyde king, DONALD, as part of an overall agreement, which also allowed Constantine to establish the Strathclyde kingdom as an appanage for the heir to the Scots throne. Owen was the son of DONALD II and under the normal Celtic rule of succession was accepted as the next king. If ATHELSTAN expected Constantine and Owen to be subordinate he was mistaken for, although the two were present at the meeting at Eamont Bridge in July 927, they continued to support the Norse claimants to the kingdom of York. It is also apparent that Athelstan sought to ensure that the two kings banished idolatry from Scotland, particularly in Strathclyde and Galloway where many of the local British, already becoming intermingled with the Norse, had lapsed into paganism. Constantine and Owen continued to snub Athelstan and in 934 Athelstan led a punitive force into Scotland. Constantine retaliated and in 937 a combined force of Scots, Norse and British met the Saxons at Brunanburh. It was a Saxon triumph and Owen was probably killed in the battle, as he was not heard of again. He is believed to be buried in Penrith. between 925 and 937.¹

     Donald mac Owen King of Strathclyde died in 975; died on a pilgrimage to Rome.¹
     He was King of Strathclyde: [Ashley, p. 377] MAC OWEN Strathclyde, 962-73. The son of OWEN, king of Strathclyde, and grandson of DONALD II, Donald was chosen as ruler of Strathclyde (and hence potential successor to the Scottish throne) by DUFF over CUILEAN, who regarded himself as the rightful heir. The civil war that broke out seems to have taken place mostly between Cuilean and Duff, resulting in the death of Duff in 966. Cuilean then turned his might on Strathclyde but was killed in battle by Donald's son Rhydderch. Having established a right to the throne of Strathclyde, Donald, who was at heart a peaceable king, made every effort to retain it for his children, rather than it pass on to the heir to the Scottish throne. He no doubt hoped that his children might indeed become kings of Scotland. At the convention at Chester held in 973 by the English king EDGAR, Donald was present along with his son, MALCOLM, who was regarded as king of the Cumbrians. Evidently Donald had instigated a right of succession within his own kingdom, with Malcolm ruling the land of Cumbria which had been given to the Scottish king MALCOLM I in 945. No doubt at this convention Donald sought agreement to Malcolm's rights over the whole kingdom of Strathclyde, to which KENNETH II must have agreed, for in 973 Donald abdicated in favour of his son and retired to a monastery. He died two years later whilst on a pilgrimage to Rome. between 962 and 973.¹
