108705: Godred Olafsson

Godred Olafsson (died 1187) was the son of Olaf Godredsson, King of the Isles. The title passed to Godred following his father’s death in 1153.

However, his title was disputed, and Godred’s brother-in-law Somerled seized control of the kingdom between 1156 and 1158. Godred regained the kingdom following Somerled’s death in 1164.
