	Battle of Clontarf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His attempts were quickly thwarted when Brian arranged a series of cross-marriages, giving his daughter to Sigtrygg Silkbeard, leader of the Dublin Vikings, and himself marrying Sigtrygg's mother and Máel's sister, Gormlaith.
		Sigtrygg's son commanded the extreme left of the line with 1,000 of the men from Dublin who decided to fight in the open.
		Sigtrygg had watched the battle with Gormlaith from Dublin, and with the Irish army melting away the next day, ended up perhaps the only "winner" of the contest, leading in Dublin until his death in 1042.

		His attempts were quickly thwarted when Brian arranged a series of cross-marriages, giving his daughter to Sigtrygg Silkbeard, leader of the Dublin Vikings, and himself marrying Sigtrygg's mother and Mael's sister, Gormlaith.
		However this alliance was destined not to last, and in 1013 Mael again went to the Sigtrygg after being admonished by Gormlaith for accepting Brian's rule.
		As they approached, the Irishmen of Meath, commanded by ex-high king Malachi, refused to take part in the battle.

	Northvegr - Home of the Eddic Lays
		I refer to the Battle of Clontarf (22) at Dublin in 1014 between the Norse King of Dublin, Sigtrygg Silkbeard, and the Irish King Brian.
		But while the Irish accounts of the Battle of Clontarf were written down from the point of view of the enemies of the Scandinavians, the author of the story of the Battle of Ross na Ríg takes sides with Conchobar, whom the Norsemen were to aid.
		Sigtrygg and his wife stood and looked at the fighting, and talked together about it.

	The Battle of Clontarf
		Sigtrygg went so far as to tempt his own brother, but his brother, disgusted with the treacherous double-dealings of his sibling, joined the army of Brian Boru instead.
		Sigtrygg’s son commanded the extreme left division of the allied-Viking army as leader of all those Dublin warriors who desired to fight in the open that day, perhaps another 1,000 men.
		Sigtrygg held out in Dublin until his death in 1042, while the surviving Danes and Norsemen were assimilated into the Irish populace and culture.

		King Sigtrygg Silkbeard was conferring with one of his underlings: what should he give Gunnlaug?
		P.S. It was king Sigtrygg's treasurer who said the knorrs were overdoing it.
		Whoever it was asked about the life and career of a skald in Viking times: well, you see him being given rich gifts by those in position to do so and being fed at their board.

		In 837AD Dublin became a city when Vikings established a fortress at the "fl pool", in the Irish language Dubh Linn.
		Sigtrygg Silkbeard was a shrewd operator and held his men back from taking part in the Battle of Clontarf in which Brian Boru defeated the Viking armies in 1014.
		This decision meant that he kept his job as King of Dublin and he went on to found Christ Church Cathedral.
