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]
