History

Their name, written in Old Irish, means “grandchildren” or “descendants of Ivar” (Ivar Ragnarsson says Ivar Without-Os) - Ivar is that whose Annals of Ireland announce death in in the following way 873: Imhar, rex Nordmannorum totius Hibernie & Brittanie, uitam finiuit , i.e. “Ivar, king of all the Scandinavian S of Ireland and Brittany, completed its life”.   The descendants of Ivar took possession of their heritage and reigned on the Irish Sea,   the island of Man, the Hébrides, the Argyll, and coasts of the Galloway, the Ayrshire and the Cumberland - Westmorland, as well as a good part of the Northumbrie, with the next century.
