    Note: Olaf & his [first] wife had [two] children: 1. [SIHTRIC (-after 967). The Annals of the Four Masters record in 967 that “Ceanannas was plundered by Sitric, son of Amhlaeibh, lord of the foreigners, and by Murchadh, son of Finn, king of Leinster; but Domhnall Ua Neill king of Ireland overtook and defeated them”[1291]. It is unlikely that this passage refers to Sihtric King of Dublin, son of Olaf, who is named below. King Sihtric´s death is recorded in 1042, which appears inconsistent with his participation in a battle fought in 967. It is therefore probable that this Sihtric was an older son of King Olaf who died soon after 967. Another possibility is that there is an error in the text and that "Sitric son of Amhlaebh" should read "Amhlaebh son of Sitric".] 2. RÆGNALD (-killed in battle Temair [978/80]). The Annals of Ulster record the death in 980 of "Ragnall son of Amlaíb" at the battle of Temair[1292]. The Annals of the Four Masters record that “Ragnhall son of Amhlaeibh heir to the sovereignty of the foreigners” was killed in 978 in “the battle of Teamhair”[1293]. The Annals of Tigernach record that “Ragnall, son of Olaf, crownprince of the Foreigners” was killed in battle by “Mael Sechnaill the Great, son of Domnall, son of Donnchad, son of Fland” at “Tara” in [978/79][1294].
