Rolls Edition O.S., p. 45, c. 30. She must have died before 1068 when Malcolm Canmore married Margaret, daughter of Edward Atheling, sister of Edgar Atheling. Dunbar, Scottish Kings, p. 27. Was Ingibjorg's marriage within the prohibited degrees, and so dissolved? See also Henderson, Norse Influence, &c., p. 25-26, which is not correct. Earl Orm married Sigrid, d. of Finn Arneson not Ingibjorg. See Table ix, Saga Library, vol. 6, Earls of Ladir, and Table xi.

The O.S. mentions only Duncan. The other sons seem doubtful. But see Dunbar, Scottish Kings, p. 31 and notes, and p. 38.

Magnus Saga the Longer, c. 10 to 28. O.S., c. 46 to 55. There is little doubt but that Magnus was the Scottish candidate for Caithness, and Hakon the Norse favourite, and Hakon had to conquer Cat.

Who was Dufnjal? What does "firnari en broethrungr" mean? Who was Duncan the Earl?
