Gormlaith – an Irish wife to a Viking king of Dublin, is a legendary figure spun through the history and folklore of Ireland. Her lineage is traced back to the mighty Murchad mac Finn, the crowned King of Leinster.
She pledged herself to Olaf Cuarán until his death in 981 and later married Brian Boru, the high king of Ireland following his defeat of her son. A pragmatist to the end.
