[18] Annals of Ulster, A.D. 918. War of the Gaedhil with the Gaill, p. 37. An entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (A.D. 921), referring to the result of this battle, runs:—“In this year King Sihtric slew his brother Niel.” There is, however, no evidence in Irish sources that Sihtric and Niall were brothers, or even half-brothers.
