CHAPTER V.

[Footnote 1:  Short Magnus Saga, I. O.S., 37.]

[Footnote 2:  O.S., 38.]

[Footnote 3:  See Orkney and Shetland Folk (Viking Society, 1914), A.W.  Johnston’s note, p. 35.  See Dunbar’s Scottish Kings, p. 7.]

[Footnote 4:  See Dalrymple’s Collections (1705), p. 153 for the date of Malcolm’s marriage with St. Margaret, p. 157, where he puts the marriage in 1070, after three years’ courtship.  See also pp. 163 and 164.  Sir Archibald Dunbar puts Ingibjorg’s marriage in 1059, as stated above, and if Thorfinn was an Earl from his birth in 1008, he would have been 50 years earl in 1058.  As a king’s grandson he might well have been an earl from his birth.]

[Footnote 5:  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.]
