Magnus Barefoot was a King of Norway who left that country and made his base here in Mann in the 1090s. The Chronicle of the Kings of Mann and the Isles regards him as de facto King of Mann and the Isles at that time. He was restless and aggressive, attacking the other Mona, the Isle of Anglesey, and going on to be belligerent towards Ireland. Having planned an attack, he went on ahead of his main army and was killed in a skirmish in Ulster on 23rd August 1103 and is buried at St Patrick's Church, Co Down.
