General Notes

King Ui Aeda Odba

Note: The Uí Áeda Odba were a dynasty of the population group known as the Gailenga, a group unrelated to the Osraige. The dynasty descended from Áed Odba, who died in 701 [Annals of Ulster], but the exact line of descent of Carrlus from Áed Odba is unknown. The name Carrlus is a genuine name that appears in the Irish sources from the ninth century on (probably as a borrowing from the Norse, or, less likely, in imitation of Charlemagne), -- Stewart Baldwin (Edited)
