Note 65 — CHAPTER THE THIRD. CONSTANTINE THE SECOND—A. D. 900-943.
Reading edition
An. Ult. 913–917. In 888 the Irish annalists record that Sitric, the son of Ivar, killed, or was killed by, his brother. In 919 the same authorities mention that Sitric, the grandson of Ivar, slew Nial, King of Ireland, in battle. Some of the Anglo-Norman chroniclers, and one late MS. of the Saxon Chronicle, evidently confounding these events, make the younger Sitric the murderer of his brother Nial.
