  Constantine II of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 914, the Annals of Ulster report the defeat of Barid son of Oitir by Ragnall grandson of Ivar in the Irish Sea.
It in is the period of dominance of northern Britain by Ragnall and his cousin Sihtric that Causantín is found as an ally of Ealdred of Bernicia and, perhaps, of "Queen" Ethelfleda of Mercia.
Sihtric may have rebelled in 924, but by 926 he had evidently acknowledged Athelstan as over-king, adopting Christianity and marrying a sister of Athelstan at Tamworth.

 Hamlet (legend) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His name does in fact occur in the Irish Annals of the Four Masters in a stanza attributed to the Irish Queen Gormflaith, who laments the death of her husband, Niall Glundubh, at the hands of Amhlaide in 919 at the battle of Ath-Cliath.
Sihtric was the father of that Olaf Cuaran (also known as Anlaf) who was the prototype of the English Havelok, but nowhere else does he receive the nickname of Amhlaide.
If Amhlaide may really be identified with Sihtric, who first went to Dublin in 888, the relations between the tales of Havelok and Hamlet are readily explicable, since nothing was more likely than that the exploits of father and son should be confounded.

O'Donovan, 1851) in a stanza attributed to the Irish Queen Gormflaith, who laments the death of her husband, Niall Glundubh, at the hands of Amhlaia t e in 919 at the battle of Ath-Cliath.
Now Sihtric was the father of that Olaf or Anl.af Cuaran who was the prototype of the English Havelok, but nowhere else does he receive the nickname of Amhlaide.
If Amhlaicte may really be identified with Sihtric, who first went to Dublin in 888, the relations between the tales of Havelok and Hamlet are readily explicable, since nothing was more likely than that the exploits of father and son should be confounded (see HAVELox).

Sihtric's invasion may have spurred Edward into, what Sir Frank Stenton ('Anglo-Saxon England') describes as, "the northern expedition which forms the climax of his reign".
In 921, the death of Ragnald, "grandson of Ímar, king of the fair foreigners and the dark foreigners" is recorded by the 'Annals of Ulster'.

In the next year Sihtric died and Ethelstan took over the Northumbrian kingdom.
He now received, at Dacre in Cumberland, the submission of all the kings of the island, viz.

The king's own legitimate brother Edwin made no attempt on the throne, but in 933 he was drowned at sea under somewhat mysterious circumstances; the later chroniclers ascribe his death to foul play on the part of the king, but this seems more than doubtful.

 The Fitzwilliam Museum : Coin of the Moment
These are two coins struck by Sihtric (921-7), which were recently found as part of a hoard in the parish of Thurcaston, about five miles north-west of Leicester.
They were struck in Sihtric's territory in the East Midlands, perhaps at Lincoln.
The Viking rulers of York quickly took up the local English custom of striking coins, as a sign of their authority, a source of revenue, and to make trading easier for those of their subjects accustomed to using coins.

For the king of the pagans was taken ill, and he was carried out of the battle to a forest nearby, and he died there....
It is possible that the name Sihtric was added as a mistaken explanatory gloss to "grandson of Ivar" and was transferred to the text by a later copyist.
Both Ragnald and Sihtric were grandsons of Ivar and both appear under this description in Irish annals for the years 917 and 918." Wainwright points out that, although Ragnald did not die in the battle of 918, another Irish source does list him as being killed there.
