Turgesius
Turgesius (died 845) (also called Turgeis, Tuirgeis, Turges, and Thorgest) was a Viking chief active in Ireland who is said to have founded Drogheda in 911AD and Dublin. It is not at all clear whether the names in the Irish annals represent the Old Norse Thurgestr or Thorgísl.〔(''The Vikings In Scotland And Ireland In The Ninth Century'' (Donnchadh Ó Corráin. 1998) )〕〔W.E.D. Allen, ''(The Poet and the Spae-Wife: An Attempt to Reconstruct Al-Ghazal's Embassy to the Vikings )'' Dublin: Figgis, Viking Society for Northern Research, 1960, OCLC 557547145, p. 46.〕 John O'Donovan and Charles Haliday independently identified him with Ragnar Loðbrók, but the identification is not generally accepted.〔Charles Haliday, ed. John Patrick Prendergast, ''The Scandinavian Kingdom of Dublin'', Dublin: Thom, 1882, repr. Shannon, Irish University Press, 1969, ISBN 0-7165-0052-3; see Allen, pp. 58-60 and notes 203, 204, p. 93 (calling him Halliday). The theory was first published by John O'Donovan in 1860, prior to the posthumous publication of Haliday's papers.〕
==Life==
The sole reliable record of Turgesius is a report of his death in the ''Annals of Ulster''. In 845 he was captured by Máel Sechnaill mac Máele Ruanaid of Clann Cholmáin and drowned in Lough Owel.〔''Annals of Ulster'', AU 845.8; Barbara E. Crawford, ''Scandinavian Scotland'', Leicester University Press, 1987, ISBN 0-7185-1197-2, (p. 49 ), describes this as "the only historical fact that can be relied upon".〕 Less certainly, the ''Annals of the Four Masters'' associate Turgesius with attacks on Connacht, Mide and the church at Clonmacnoise in the year before his death.〔''Annals of the Four Masters'', AFM 843.13.〕 The principal island on Lough Lene is named after him. It is speculated that Yahya ibn-Hakam el Bekri al Djayani, called al-Ghazal, was ambassador to this Norse ruler.〔This is the argument of Allen's book.〕
