Brodir and Ospak of Man
Bróðir and Óspak of Man were two Danish brothers who were active in the Isle of Man and Ireland in the 11th century. They are mentioned in the 12th century Irish ''Cogadh Gaedhil re Gallaibh'' and the 13th century Icelandic ''Njal's Saga'' as key leaders who fought on opposite sides in the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. The latter account names Bróðir as the killer of Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland. Both Boru and Bróðir died in the battle, although accounts differ as to who killed whom. Óspak fought on the side of Boru, was injured, and lost his two sons in the battle.
==Life==
Bróðir〔 〕 (also Brodir or Brodar〔MacManus, p 279〕〔Ó Corráin, p 129〕 or anglicised as Broderick) and Óspak〔 (also Óspakur,〔 Ospakr〔 or Ospak〔) were two Danish brothers who lived on the west coast of the Isle of Man.〔 According to ''Njál's saga'', Óspak was a heathen, described as "the wisest of all men."〔 Bróðir had been "a Christian man and a mass-deacon by consecration", but he had apostatised and become "of all men most skilled in sorcery."〔 Bróðir was tall and strong, with long black hair that he wore tucked in under his belt, and he was clad in a coat of mail "which no steel could bite."〔〔 Between them, they had thirty ships, and were described by Gormflaith as "men of such hardihood that nothing can withstand them".〔
