CERBALL MAC DÚNLAINGE (d. 888)

During the reign of Cerball mac Dúnlainge (842–88) the Osraige rose from relative obscurity to become a major player in Irish politics. The most lavish account of his deeds survives in an eleventh-century saga embedded in The Fragmentary Annals of Ireland. This saga appears to have been written under the sponsorship of Cerball’s great-great grandson Donnchad mac GillaPátraic, who ruled Osraige (1003–1039) and Leinster (1033–1039). The exaggerations and anachronisms found in the saga urge a degree of caution in its use as a historical source. Cerball is also mentioned in the Icelandic Landnámabók and later sagas. These demonstrate that a number of prominent Icelandic families claimed descent from Cerball as a figure of legend.

Cerball’s kingdom, Osraige, was strategically placed between the heartlands of Munster and Leinster. At the beginning of Cerball’s reign, Osraige owed allegiance to overkings of Munster. However, in the 850s and 860s the fortunes of Munster declined, a factor that can be seen to aid Cerball’s advancement.

Nevertheless, Cerball also faced dangers from Viking incursions. He is most renowned for his victories over Vikings that are elaborated in The Fragmentary Annals of Ireland. Cerball’s first battle against Vikings is reported in 846. He also allied with some Viking groups when it suited his policies. In the late 850s he joined forces with Ívarr, a king of the “Dark foreigners.” In 859, they raided Southern Uí Néill, thus challenging the power of the Uí Néill overking Máel-Sechnaill mac Máele-Ruanaid. In consequence of this attack, a royal meeting was arranged at Rathugh (Co. Westmeath) in 859. Osraige was formally ceded from Munster control and placed under the authority of Máel-Sechnaill. The event caused Cerball to reject his alliance with Ívarr. Further hostilities against Vikings are recorded for the remainder of Cerball’s reign, although a temporary alliance with one viking group is recorded in 864.

Cerball was able to deal effectively with the threats posed by other Irish kings. Cerball enjoyed good relations with the Loígis of Leinster (his sister Lann was initially married to the king of this population group). Nevertheless, Cerball engaged in hostilities against other kings in the province on at least three occasions. The marriages of Cerball’s daughters to kings of Uí Cheinnselaig and Uí Dróna in Leinster may indicate attempts to reduce border warfare.

Cerball’s relations with Munster fluctuated. In 864, he attacked the heartlands of the province. He later allied with Dúnchad mac Duibdábairenn, who became overking of Munster in 872. They plundered Connacht together in 871 and 873. His alliance with Dúnchad later collapsed, and Cerball campaigned in Munster in 878.

Cerball’s relations with the powerful Uí Néill rulers seem to have been flexible and pragmatic. From 859, Cerball supported Máel-Sechnaill against his rival Áed, overking of Northern Uí Néill. Nevertheless, Cerball quickly joined sides with Áed following Máel-Sechnaill’s death. Cerball’s sister Lann assisted in securing these important alliances by marrying both kings in succession.

Cerball ruled for a total of forty-six years. His longevity, success, and the dramatic potential of events in his career encouraged the later development of legends about him.

Name: Cerball MACDUNLAINGE , King Of Osraige

Sex: M

Name: Cearbhall MACDUNGHAL

Birth: 800 in Ireland

Death: 888 in Ireland



The kingdom of Osraige occupied roughly the area of modern County Kilkenny and lay between the larger provincial kingdoms of Munster and Leinster.

Cerball came to prominence after the death of Feidlimid mac Cremthanin, King of Munster, in 847. Osraige was traditionally subject to the Eóganachta kings of Munster, but Feidlimid was succeeded by a series of weak kings who had to contend with Viking incursions on the coasts of Munster. As a result, Cerball was in a strong position and is said to have been the second most powerful king in Ireland in his later years.

The period of Cerball's life covered much of the first Viking Age. While several kingdoms in Britain—East Anglia, Fortriu, Mercia, and Northumbria—would collapse under the shock of Viking attacks, their impact in Ireland was very much less immediate. In the first half of the ninth century, raiders appear to have come in small groups, increasing in size until larger forces appear, such as that led by the shadowy Turgéis (Turgesius) in the 840s, and those led by Amlaíb and Ímar from the 850s onwards. Vikings would be both enemies and allies for Cerball and other Irish kings. In the long run, the creation of Norse-Gaelic towns by Vikings operating as traders rather than raiders would change the Irish political landscape, but the results of this were seen in the tenth and eleventh centuries rather than the ninth.[

Cearbhall was King of Leinster in Ireland. In 902 he conquered Dublin from the Vikings and secured peace in the land for the next 20 years. Three of his daughters (all ancestors of Frida Rage) married Norsemen - one of which was to become the ancestor of the famous Thorfinn Karlsevne, who sailed with Leif Erikson from Greenland to North America around the year 1000 AD.

Cearbhall var konge av Leinster i Irland. I 902 erobret han Dublin fra vikingene og sikret fred i landet de neste 20 år. Også en annen irsk konge med samme navn hadde en datter som ble giftet inn i den samme familien.

I øvrigt er der rigtig mange efterkommere efter denne irske konge.

Kjerval/Cearbhail levede fra 800 til 888 og var konge over Osraige i det sydøstlige Irland. Det menes at han styrede over det næst-største/vigtigste kongedømme i Irland . Han optræder i Islandske sagaer og "mange prominente islandske familier nedstammer fra ham" Og det er Bue helt med på!
