Olaf SIHTRICSON, byname (in sagas) OLAF THE RED, or OLAF CUARAN, Olafalso spelled ANLAF (d. 981?, Iona?), king of the Danish kingdoms of Northumbria and of Dublin. He was the son of Sihtric, king of Deira, and was related to the English King Aethelstan. When Sihtric died about 927 Aethelstan annexed Deira,and Olaf took refuge in Scotland and in Ireland until 937, when he was one of the leaders of the formidable league of princes that was destroyedby Aethelstan at the famous Battle of Brunanburh. Again he sought a home among his kinsfolk in Ireland, but just after Aethelstan's death in 940 he or Olaf Guthfrithson was recalled to England by the Northumbrians. Both crossed over, and in 941 the new English king, Edmund, gave up Deira to the former. The peace between the English and Danes did not, however, last long. Wulfstan, archbishop of York, sided with Olaf; but in 944 Olaf was driven from Northumbria by Edmund, and crossing to Ireland, Olaf ruled over the Danish kingdom of Dublin. From 949 to 952 he was again king of Northumbria, until he was expelled once more (this time by Erik Bloodaxe), and he passed the remainder of his active life in warfare in Ireland. But in 980 his dominion was shattered by the defeat of the Danes at the Battle of Tara. He went to Iona, where he died probably in 981, although one dubious account says he was in Dublin in 994.

Notes:
In the last battle with the Danes in 1014, in which the foreigners were routed, their force and influence in Ireland were forever broken, King Brian and Morgan lost their lives. Word came to King Brian that Morgan had been killed in battle, so he went to his tent to pray, as he was a very religious man. Brian's tent was guarded by chosen warriors. Bradar, an Irish traitor of the Irish, supposedly a friend of King Brian, and Gormlaith, King Brian's wife, received permission to go inside his tent where Bradar slew Brian. Bradar was killed by the guards and Gormlaith was made a prisoner and later executed.

| 10. | Edward I "The Elder" King Of ENGLAND, King Of England was born about 871 in Wessex, England (son of Alfred "The Great" King Of ENGLAND, King Of England and Ealhswith Queen Of ENGLAND, Queen Of England); died on 17 Jul 924 in Farrington (Farndon-On-Dee), Berkshire, England; was buried in Winchester Cathedral, London, England. Other Events:

- Titled: Between 899 and 924
- Event: 8 Jun 900
- Alt. Death: 924; Alt. Death
Notes:
Well-trained by Alfred, his son Edward 'the Elder' (reigned 899-924) was a bold soldier who defeated the Danes in Northumbria at Tettenhall in 910 and was acknowledged by the Viking kingdom of York. The kings of Strathclyde and the Scots submitted to Edward in 921. By military success and patient planning, Edward spread English influence and control. Much of this was due to his alliance with his formidable sister Aethelflaed, who was married to the ruler of Mercia and seems to have governed that kingdom after her husband's death.
Edward was able to establish an administration for the kingdom of England, whilst obtaining the allegiance of Danes, Scots and Britons. Edward died in 924, and he was buried in the New Minster which he had had completed at Winchester. Edward was twice married, but it is possible that his eldest son Athelstan was the son of a mistress.
