Reading edition
1054 Cath itir fhiru Albain et Saxanu itorcradar tri mile doferaib Albain et mile coleth di Saxanu im Dolfinn mac Finntuir.—An. Ult. The tract ‘Origo et Gesta Sivardi Ducis,’ printed in Langebek’s Scriptores, iii. p. 287, says of this expedition, ‘Exercitum congregavit, in subsidium Regis usque ad Dunde progrediens, ubi nunciatum fuit ei, quod homines sui de Northumbreland jam in eum et suos adeo insurrexerunt, quod Osbertum Bulax filium suum interfecerant. Comes autem reverti compulsus,’ etc. The tract is not of much authority. Other authorities state that Siward’s son was slain in the Scotch war.
