Person talk:Audna Of Ireland (1)

Parents [24 June 2013]

I am detaching her from the father Cerball, as the sources I am reading don't mention her, and the birth date given here is later than Cerball's death date.--Werebear 09:12, 24 June 2013 (EDT)

Scratch that. I found her in one of the sources (I don't know how accurate). I am guessing that the birth date is just typical unsourced BS. But given that Baldwin doesn't mention her, maybe there is something to it. --Werebear 09:17, 24 June 2013 (EDT)

Actually, now I have found Baldwin's comment on her: "...according to Orkneyínga Saga, the Irish king Cerball had a daughter Eðna (Eithne), who married Hlöðver Þorfinnsson. jarl of Orkney, and had a son Sigurðr Digri, the jarl of Orkney killed at Clontarf on 23 April 1014...and this Eithne is often represented as a daughter of Cerball mac Dúngaile. However, since Cerball mac Dúngaile died in 888, it is extremely improbable that he would be the maternal grandfather of a man who died 126 years later." I guess I will add a disputed lineages section.--Werebear 09:46, 24 June 2013 (EDT)
