This Palgrave Pivot explores the representation of sea kings,
sinners, and saints in the mid-thirteenth century Chronicles of the
Kings of Man and the Isles, the single most important text for the
history of the kingdoms of Man and the Isles, c.1066-1300. The
focus of the Chronicles on the power struggles, plots and intrigues
within the ruling dynasties of Man and the Isles offers an
impressive array of heroes and villains. The depiction of the
activities of heroic sea kings like Godred Crovan, tyrannical
usurpers like Harald son of Godred Don, and their concubines and
wives, as well as local heroes like Saint Maughold, raises
important questions concerning the dynamic interactions of power,
gender and historical writing in the medieval Kingdoms of Man and
the Isles, and provide new insights into the significance of the
text that is our most important source of information on these
'Forgotten Kingdoms' of the medieval British Isles.
