Dublin and a fifth of Ireland and of Man and many other islands. He was a
descendant of Harald Haarfagr. Auloed's wife was the daughter of King Brian, so
Gruffydd sprang from the noblest royal lines of Wales, Norway and Ireland.
Simpson calls him Anlaf (Olaf) MacSihtric and says also known as Sihtricsson.
She also gives vital stats.
