Olav Bitling (Dverg), kung av Söderöarna (Hebriderna), död 1153, gift med Afreca, dr av Fergus av Galloway och Elisabet, illegitim dr av Henry I, kung av England. Olof växte upp vid Henry I:s hov. (Fra Skanke-släktens historia, G.V.C. Young, stamtavla 1a)
In 1153 king Olave was slain by Reginald, Harold's son, on the feast of the holy apostles Peter and Paul. In the following autumn Godred, his son, came from Norway with five ships, and put in at the Orkneys. All the chiefs of the Isles were rejoiced when they heard of his arrival, and assembling together, unanimously elected him for their king. Godred then came to Man, seized the three sons of Harold, and, to avenge his father's murder, awarded them the death they deserved. Another story is that he put out the eyes of two of them, and put the third to death. (Chronicle of Man and the Sudreys)

Olaf I Godredsson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Olaf I of the Isle of Man)
Olav I was King of Mann and the Isles from 1104 until 1153. His nickname was Morsel. He was born around 1080 and died 29 June 1153.
His father was King Godred Crovan. He succeeded, either together or after, his one or two brothers. Lagman who held the throne at between 1103-04 apparently was his (eldest) brother.
[edit] Reign
Norway's Kings Magnus Barefoot and Sigurd Jorsalafare annexed the kingdom and caused disruption in successions. For forty years Olaf ruled them uncontested.
The Kingdom of Mann and the Isles encompassed the Isle of Man and the Hebrides, extending from the Calf of Man to the Butt of Lewis. Olaf adopted the Latin style Rex Manniae et Insularum in his charters, a translation of the Gaelic title ri Innse Gall (literally 'king of the foreigners' isles'), which had been in use since the late 10th century.
The islands which were under his rule were called the Sullr-eyjar (Sudreys or the south isles, in contradistinction to the Norsr-eyjar, or the "north isles," i.e. the Orkney and Shetland Islands, and they consisted of the Hebrides, and of all the smaller western islands of Scotland, with Mann.
Olaf I exercised considerable power, and according to the Chronicles of Mann, maintained such close alliance with the kings of Ireland and Scotland that no one ventured to disturb the Isles during his time (1104 - 1153).
In the 1130s the Church sent a small mission to establish the first bishopric on the Isle of Man, and appointed Wimund as the first bishop. He soon after gave up his role as fisher-of-men, and became the hunter-of-men, embarking with a band of followers on a career of murder and looting throughout Scotland and the surrounding islands.
During the whole of the Scandinavian period the isles remained nominally under the suzerainty of the kings of Norway, but the Norwegians only occasionally asserted it with any vigour. Magnus Barfod about 1100 conquered the isles.
[edit] Marriage & Children
Olaf's first wife was Aufrica of Galloway, who bore herself and him a son and successor, Godred Olafsson.
His second wife was Ingeborg Haakonsdottir, daughter of Haakon, Earl of Orkney. This marriage produced at least daughter Ragnhild, who married Somerled, King of Kintyre and the Isles.
Reginald, Lagmann and Harald are mentioned as his other sons.
After half a century of reign, Olaf I was killed.
