The people of the Uí Ímair
"Uí Ímair" is Old Irish, meaning grandchildren, or descendants of Ivar.
The dynasty of Ivar ruled much of the Irish Sea region, the Kingdom of Dublin, the western coast of Scotland including the Hebrides, and parts of Northern England including Northumbria from the mid 9th century.
A 9th century Viking from Scandinavia named Ímar, (or Ívarr or Ivar) was the founder of this Uí Ímair dynasty. The identity of the original Ivar remains disputed. His death was recorded in Latin by 12th century.
