List of rulers of the Isle of Man
[edit]Little is known about the early history of Man. In the late 6th century, the Ulaid and the Dál Riata of Argyll disputed control of the island.[1] In 630, it was invaded by King Edwin of Northumbria.[1] May have been occupied by British rulers afterwards, as the ancestors of Merfyn Frych were alleged to have come to Gwynedd from the island.[1]
Ketil Flatnose, later said to have been the first jarl in the Sudreys (perhaps the same as Caittil Find), may have ruled Man in the 9th century.[2] Ruled perhaps by the kings of Dublin in the 10th century until a Danish kindred of Norsemen led by Maccus mac Arailt and Gofraid mac Arailt entered the Irish Sea in the 970s.[3] Claimed by Thorfinn the Mighty, Earl of Orkney, in the 11th century, it appears to emerge as the centre of a new kingdom later in the century under Godred Crovan and his descendants.[3]

List of rulers of the Rhinns
[edit]The Rhinns (Scottish Gaelic: Na Rannaibh) was a province in medieval Scotland and an 11th century kingdom. Three rulers are explicitly stated in the sources to have ruled this kingdom:
| Dates | Name | Styles | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| d. 1034 | Óláf Sihtricson | This was not Óláf's only kingdom; he was said by the Life of Gruffudd ap Cynan to have ruled "Dublin, Mann, Galloway, the Rhinns, Angelsey and Gwynedd". | Son of Sitric Silkbeard. His daughter Ragnaillt was the mother of Gruffudd ap Cynan. | |
| d. 1065 | Echmarcach mac Ragnaill | rex innarenn | ||
| d. 1093 | Macc Congail | rí na Rend |
List of people styled Lord of Argyll
[edit]The Lord of Argyll was a semi-formal title in the Middle Ages for the king or regulus who claimed dominion over the Scottish province of Argyll. The latter term was likewise vague, and could include the entire west coast of Scotland from Kintyre northwards, or more specifically between Kintyre and, roughly, Garmoran. In practice, it becomes associated with Clan MacDougall, whose core province of Lorne is taken as an interchangeable title until the 14th century.
