Battle of Epiphany
The Battle of Epiphany was a naval battle fought on 5–6 January or 12 January 1156, between the Norse Gofraidh mac Amhlaibh (Godred II), King of Mann and the Isles and Celtic Somhairle MacGillebride (Somerled), King of Cinn Tìre (Kintyre), Argyll and Lorne, off the coast of Islay, Scotland.〔Paterson 2008, p6〕〔Adam 1970, p232〕
==Background==
Olaf I Godredsson (Olaf the Red), King of Mann and the Isles, was murdered on 29 June 1153, by his nephews and his son Godred II became King of Mann and the Isles.〔Adam 1970, p232〕 After becoming king, Godred II ruled with a heavy hand, which upset some of the chiefs and kings of the Isles.〔Paterson 2008, p6〕
Somerled who had married Raghnailt, the daughter of Olaf the Red, was approached by a number of men headed by Thornfinn Ottarsson to overthrow Godred II and replaced with Dugall Ottarsson, to which he agreed.〔Paterson 2008, p6〕〔Adam 1970, p232〕 He began preparations and began construction of 80 ships modelled on the Norse longship, known as birlinns and nyvaigs (the latter being the first ship to have a stern rudder directly in the rear of the vessel). Somerled having recognised the importance of dominating the sea, with which the Norse had successfully suppressed the Isles.〔Paterson 2008, p7〕
