[Footnote 9:  So called because he wore the kilt, in its original form, not the philabeg.]

[Footnote 10:  Magnus Saga, 10, 11 and 20.  The story of this time is confused and difficult. Torfaeus, trans., p. 85 and Torfaeus Orcades, c. xviii.  From c. 20 of Magnus Saga the Longer it is clear that Hakon in 1112 took Paul’s share of Caithness also and Magnus took Erlend’s share, and that they divided that earldom and lands.]

[Footnote 11:  O.S., 45.]

[Footnote 12:  Magnus Saga the Longer, c. 10 to 28. O.S., c. 46 to 55.  There is little doubt but that Magnus was the Scottish candidate for Caithness, and Hakon the Norse favourite, and Hakon had to conquer Cat.]

[Footnote 13:  Who was Dufnjal?  What does “firnari en broethrungr” mean?  Who was Duncan the Earl?  Possibly the Norse expression means half first cousin, and if Dufnjal was Earl Duncan’s son, the relationship was through Malcolm III, and Dufnjal was a son of King Duncan II, called “Duncan the Earl,” of whom, however, the O.S. and Longer Magnus Saga say nothing in this connection.  But see Henderson, Norse Influence, &c., p. 26 contra.]

[Footnote 14:  Paplay, Thora’s home, was probably in Firth Parish in mainland, near Finstown. Short Magnus Saga, c. 18, not “twenty,” but twenty-one years after his death.  See O.S., c. 60.  But vide Tudor O. and S., pp. 251-2 and 348.  See also Anderson’s Introduction, p. xc, to Hjaltalin and Goudie’s O.S. contra.]

[Footnote 17:  O.S., 48.  Both Hakon and Magnus were about five-sixths Norse.]
