Note 399 — Chapter III · THE CONQUEST OF IRELAND. 795–1172.

Lanigan, Eccles. Hist. Ireland, vol. iv. p. 48, says: “The Annals of Innisfallen have at A. 1118, ‘Turlogh O’Conor became king of the Danes of Dublin.’” (This passage does not occur in either of the two editions of Ann. Inisfal. printed by O’Conor.) The Four Masters, a. 1118 (as above, p. 1007), say that Terence took hostages from the Ostmen in that year. He was, at any rate, acknowledged as their overlord by 1121, for it was he who in that year sent Gregory, bishop-elect of Dublin, to England for consecration. Lanigan, as above, p. 47.
