Amlaíb Cenncairech : ウィキペディア英語版 | Amlaíb Cenncairech Amlaíb Cenncairech was a Norse ruler and presumably King of Limerick notable for his military activities in Ireland in the 930s, especially in the province of Connacht and apparently even in Ulster and Leinster. This period, the 920s and 930s, is commonly regarded as the very height of Norse power in Ireland, and was when Limerick essentially equalled Dublin in power. His epithet ''Cennc(h)airech'' is commonly translated into the unflattering "Scabby-Head" but this may be inaccurate. The adjective ''cairech'' actually means, according to the ''Dictionary of the Irish Language'', "criminal; guilty; sinful",〔(Dictionary of the Irish Language ) Letter C, Column 47〕 and thus ''Cennc(h)airech'' may be translated "Sinful Head".〔Thornton, p. 163〕 ==Career== Amlaíb is mentioned by name only in the ''Annals of the Four Masters'' and ''Annals of Clonmacnoise''. Historians believe the dating in both cases is off. In general, the sources for western Ireland's history are not great. The ''Chronicon Scotorum'' records several of the same and related events but does not mention Amlaíb by name.
