[edit] Disputed LineagesStewart Baldwin has this to say about her parentage: "... 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." References
