Gofraid mac Sitriuc

Gofraid mac Sitriuc (died 951), in Old Norse Guðrøðr Sigtryggsson [ˈɡuðˌrøðz̠ ˈsiɣˌtryɡːsˌson],[1] was King of Dublin.

[2] An even bloodier defeat followed in 950 when Gofraid allied with Congalach against the would-be High King Ruaidrí ua Canannáin.

The Annals of Ulster say that from Kells alone "three thousand men or more were taken captive and a great spoil of cattle and horses and gold and silver was taken away".

[4] Neither walls nor money nor soldiers were of any protection when, as the annals report, plague appeared in Dublin later in 951.

According to the Chronicon Scotorum Gofraid was among the dead, and his death is reported as divine vengeance for the sacking of Kells.
