Ímar mac Arailt (died 1054) was an eleventh-century ruler of the
Ímar's reign in Dublin spanned at least eight years, from 1038 to 1046. Although he began by seizing the kingship from Echmarcach in 1038, he eventually lost it to him in 1046. As king, Ímar is recorded to have overseen military operations throughout Ireland, and seems to have actively assisted the family of
Familial background
Ímar was probably the son of Aralt mac Amlaíb,
Struggle for Dublin
Ímar's probable uncle, Sitriuc, ruled Dublin for almost fifty years between 989 and 1036.
Echmarcach's hold on Dublin was short-lived as the fourteenth-century
It is conceivable that Ímar received some form of support from Knútr's son and successor in Britain,
In 1044, the Annals of Tigernach records that Ímar penetrated into the domain of the
The following year, the Annals of Tigernach states that Echmarcach succeeded Ímar.
After Ímar's death, Diarmait appears to have appointed his own son, Murchad, control of Dublin later that decade, as the Annals of the Four Masters accords him the title tigherna Gall, meaning "lord of the foreigners" in 1059.[53][note 5] In 1061, Murchad invaded Mann and seems to have overthrown Echmarcach.[55] The record of Murchad's actions against Echmarcach could indicate that the latter had seated himself on the island after his expulsion from Dublin.[56] Another possibility is that Echmarcach had only reestablished himself as king in the Isles after Ímar's death in 1054.[57] Whatever the case, both Diarmait and Murchad were dead by 1072, and the Annals of Tigernach describes Diarmait on his obituary as King of the Isles (rí Innsi Gall, literally "king of the isles of the foreigners"), a declaration which seems to indicate that, by the eleventh century at least, the kingship of the Isles was contingent upon control of Mann.[58]

The principal Welsh monarch during Ímar's reign was
According to the thirteenth-century Historia Gruffud vab Kenan, the mother of Cynan's son was Ragnailt ingen Amlaíb, a paternal granddaughter of Sitriuc. Further revealed by this source is the fact that this woman's father, Amlaíb mac Sitriuc, built and commanded a Welsh fortress called Castell Avloed.[68] Although it is unknown how long the Dubliners possessed the fortress, in 1036 another son of Sitriuc was slain in Wales by an apparent kinsman,[69] an event which could be evidence of a struggle for control of the site.[70] Echmarcach's aforesaid expulsion of Sitriuc from Dublin in the same year could in turn indicate that this exiled monarch sought refuge in Wales.[71]
Despite the uncertainty of its specific location, Castell Avloed appears to have been situated in territory formerly controlled by Iago,
Another conflict that could have involved Ímar and the military forces of Dublin was Gruffudd's final defeat of
Ancestral figure
Ímar may have been the father,
In the aforesaid record of the military actions conducted in 1044, Ímar is merely named as the son of Aralt, a fact which could indicate that this was how he was known to his contemporaries. If correct, the patronym preserved by the Chronicle of Mann could merely be a garbled form of this style.[94]
The patronym given by the Chronicle of Mann states that Gofraid's father was from "Ysland", a place which could refer to either
Notes
- ^ According to local tradition, Aralt's grave is marked by pre-historic standing stone at Crehelp, near Dunlavin, in County Wicklow.[12] In the nineteenth century, the battle was erroneously regarded to have been fought near Dunlavin.[13]
- Uí Briúin Bréifne.[41]
- ^ This source erroneously identifies Ímar by his father's name, Aralt.[49]
- ^ Although this source styles Murchad merely as a "lord", the original upon which this annal draws likely read "king". The Annals of the Four Masters is otherwise known to relegate royal titles to lordly ones.[54]
- Moel-y-don or Castell Bryn Gwyn.[73]
- Sitriuc Cáech, King of Northumbria and Dublin.[91] It is possible that the pedigree's "Ifor Gamle" represents Ímar himself.[88] The fact that his father was named Aralt, however, could be evidence that the compiler of the pedigree either erroneously reversed the order of "Harallt Ddu" and "Ifor Gamle", or else missed an additional Aralt in the lineage.[92]
