Sitric Cáech
Sitric Cáech or Sihtric Cáech or Sigtrygg Gále, ( non, Sigtryggr , ang, Sihtric, died 927) was a Hiberno-Scandinavian Viking leader who ruled Dublin and then Viking Northumbria in the early 10th century. He was a grandson of Ímar and a member of the Uà Ímair. Sitric was most probably among those Vikings expelled from Dublin in 902, whereafter he may have ruled territory in the eastern Danelaw in England. In 917, he and his kinsman Ragnall ua Ímair sailed separate fleets to Ireland where they won several battles against local kings. Sitric successfully recaptured Dublin and established himself as king, while Ragnall returned to England to become King of Northumbria. In 919, Sitric won a victory at the Battle of Islandbridge over a coalition of local Irish kings who aimed to expel the Uà Ímair from Ireland. Six Irish kings were killed in the battle, including Niall Glúndub, overking of the Northern Uà Néill and High King of Ireland. In 920 Sitric left Dublin for Nor ...

Sitric II Of Northumbria
Sitric ( non, Sigtryggr) was a Viking leader who may have co-ruled Viking Northumbria in the 10th century. No contemporary texts mention Sitric and his existence is only evidenced by coins bearing his name which were minted at York in c. 942. Biography The evidence for the existence of Sitric is a handful of coins minted at York bearing the inscription (King Sitric). These coins have been dated to 942 and they bear similarities to coins of Olaf Cuaran and Ragnall Guthfrithson, two kinsmen who are known to have ruled Northumbria in the 940s. Two designs of coinage are known featuring Sitric's name. The first features a small cross on both sides, and the second features a triquetra on one side and a triangular banner on the other. No mention of Sitric is made in contemporary texts. Olaf Guthfrithson ruled Northumbria from 939 until his death in 941. Downham has suggested that between Olaf's death and the arrival of Ragnall in York, perhaps in the latter part of 943, Northumbria w ...

List Of Rulers Of Waterford
The Kings of Viking Waterford (914–1170) The Vikings, who had created a longphort near Waterford in 853, finally settled and created a town in 914. These were led by Ottir Iarla. Ragnall ua Ímair then installed himself over them in 917, however leaving a year later to Britain, with Ottir, and presumably placing a deputy in control. Several of the 11th century Norse kings, the descendants of Ímar (died 1000), were both allied to and vassals of the powerful O'Brien dynasty, with whom they may also have intermarried, and who in at least one case in the 1070s (Diarmait, son of Toirrdelbach Ua Briain) exercised direct rule over the small city. * Ottir Iarla (914–917) * Ragnall ua Ímair (917-920/1) * Ímar (died 1000) * Ragnall mac Ímair (died 1018) * Sitriuc mac Ímair (died 1022) * Ragnall ua Ímair (reigned 1022–1035) * Cú Inmain ua Robann (died 1037) * Wadter (?-?) * Ragnall Mac Gilla Muire (?-1170) * O'Faoláin (?-1170) The fate of the Waterford Norse is uncertain ...
