Bárid mac Oitir is mentioned once in contemporary Irish annals. The Annals of Ulster in 914 record:
A naval battle off the Isle of Man between Bárid son of Oitir and Ragnall grandson of Ímar, in which Bárid and nearly all of his army were destroyed.[2]
This incident is the earliest known occasion where Vikings are linked with Man.
Notesedit
^The definition as given by Downham is used here – Vikings were "people of Scandinavian culture who were active outside of Scandinavia".[1]
