Research Notes:
King of Dublin [Ref: Michael Davidson SGM 10/23/1995, Tapsell Dynasties p192]
853: first came to Ireland [Ref: Stewart Baldwin SGM 8/6/1995]
856-871: King of Dublin, as Olaf I [Ref: Tapsell Dynasties p192]
871: last appearance in annals, when he and Ivar (Imhar) returned from
Scotland with many captives [Ref: Stewart Baldwin SGM 8/6/1995]
The statement that Olaf's father was named Godfrey (Goffraidh) does not come
from any of the contemporary sources, but from a source variously called
"Three Fragments" or "Fragmentary Annals of Ireland". The statement of Olaf of
Dublin's parentage comes from the least reliable part of the Fragments, and
was shown long ago to be of questionable validity. There was a later (tenth
century) king of Dublin named Olaf whose father was named Godfrey, and there
is a good chance that this parentage has been reflected back to the earlier
Olaf of Dublin [Ref: Stewart Baldwin SGM 8/6/1995]
