Becoming king of Dublin[edit]
The previous version of this article stated that Sigtrygg became king of Dublin after the death of his brother Ragnall. I have not kept this in this new edit, as I perceived this to be a confusion between how he became king of Dublin and York. That Ragnall was his brother is indeed likely, but I have seen no sources stating so. Please reinsert both of these statements if there are citations for that that I'm not aware of.

Sigtrygg Caech/Sigtrygg Silkbeard[edit]
Article of Sigtrygg Caech(also called Sithric) dead 927 and Sigtrygg Silkbeard who also called Sithric can impossibly be the same person, because the latter lead an Viking army in England 1014. He was also involved in The Battle at Clontarf (Marie Wikipedia fan) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.249.30.156 (talk) 16:30, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Silkbeard is One-Eye's (Caech's) grandson. The real question is who is Caech's father, since we know who his grandfather is.108.4.65.203 (talk) 20:25, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
