Similarly, despite what may appear as the propensity of Manx dynasts to perpetrate violence against one another in the folios of the text (more below), we also see instances in which the “Manxmen” act in such circumstances, sometimes in an attempt to bring an end to internecine feuding, as we are told occurred in 1224:The following year Reginald set out with Manxmen for the Isles, taking with him Alan, Lord of Galloway, to get back from Olaf part of the territory he had given his brother and to subject it again to his dominion. But because the Manxmen were not disposed to fighting Olaf or the Islesmen, as they held them in esteem, Reginald and Alan … achieved nothing and returned home. A short time after Reginald … set out for the court of Alan, Lord of Galloway. On that occasion he gave his daughter to Alan’s son in matrimony. When the Manxmen heard about this, they were extremely angry, and sending for Olaf they made him their king.7
