About Sitric mac Ímair, King of Dublin

Medilands: Ireland, Ch. 8-A "Norse Kings: Kings of Dublin":

1-c) SIHTRIC (-killed 896). He presumably succeeded his brother as King [of Dublin]. The Annals of Ulster record in 893 "a great dissension among the foreigners of Ath Cliath and they became dispersed, one section following Imar´s son, and the other Sigfrith the jarl”[1177]. The Annals of Ulster record in 894 that "Imar´s son came again to Ireland”[1178]. It is assumed that this passage refers to Sihtric whose departure is implied by the passage dated 893 in the same source. The Annals of Ulster record the death in 896 of "Sitriuc son of Imar killed by other Norsemen”[1179].

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitriuc_mac_%C3%8Dmair

Sitriuc mac Ímair (Old Norse: Sigtryggr Ívarrsson; d. 896) was a ninth-century King of Dublin. He was a son of Ímar and a member of the Uí Ímair.

Sitriuc was a son of Ímar and had at least two brothers, Bárid and Sichfrith, both of whom were Kings of Dublin before him.[6] Ímar is considered by some authorities to be identical to Ivar the Boneless, a Viking leader and a commander of the Great Heathen Army which invaded the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England in 865. According to the Norse sagas he was one of the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok, and his brothers included Björn Ironside, Halfdan Ragnarsson, Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye and Ubba.[7] Ímar had at least five grandsons, Ragnall, Ímar, Sitric Cáech, Amlaíb, and Gofraid, but their parents are unidentified, so it is not possible to say which, if any, were the children of Sitriuc.[8]
