Early sources vol. 2 pp. 457-459 5 1217-1223 1217 2165567.5 Timeline between 1217 and 1223 - At the same time [[Rǫgnvaldr Guðrøðarson|Reginald]] caused his [[Olaf the Black|brother Olaf]] to marry the daughter of a certain noble of Kintyre, the sister of his own wife, named Lavon; and gave him the aforesaid [[Lewis and Harris|island of Lewis]] in possession ; and Olaf bidding his brother farewell set out with his wife, and dwelt in Lewis.<br>And after some days Reginald, bishop of the islands, who had succeeded Nicholas, came to the island regions, to visit the churches. Olaf met him with rejoicing ; and, glad of his arrival, as that of his sister's son, he ordered a great feast to be prepared. But [bishop] Reginald said to Olaf: "I will not communicate with thee, brother, until the catholic church frees thee canonically from the bond of illicit wedlock" ; and added : "Art thou unaware that thou hadst before the cousin of the woman whom thou now hast as wife?"<br>Olaf did not deny what was true, but declared that he had for a long time had her cousin as concubine. So bishop Reginald assembled a synod, and canonically separated Olaf [[Guðrøðr Óláfsson|Godfrey]]'s son and Lavon his wife.<br>After this, Olaf took in marriage [[Christina, daughter of Fearchar|Christina]], the daughter of [[Fearchar, Earl of Ross|Ferchar, earl of Ross]].<br>And king Reginald's wife, the queen of the islands, grieving at that time over the separation of her sister and Olaf, and moved by the gall of bitterness ; being also the originator of all the discord between Reginald and Olaf, sent a letter secretly in the name of king Reginald to her son [[Guðrøðr Rǫgnavaldsson|Godfrey]] in the [[Isle of Sky|island of Skye]], [bidding him] seize Olaf, and kill him.<br>As soon as he had heard the letter, Godfrey collected an army ; and came to Lewis, intending to carry into effect the perverse wishes of his mother. But Olaf entered a small boat with a few men ; and escaping from Godfrey's face with difficulty, came to his father-in-law, the earl of Ross. Godfrey returned home, after destroying nearly the whole island, and slaying certain men.<br>At that time, the sheriff of Skye, [[Páll Bálkason|Paul Balki's son]],' (a vigorous man, and powerful in the whole kingdom of the islands) fled from Godfrey's face, because he refused to consent to the slaughter of Olaf. And he dwelt with the earl of Ross, along with Olaf.<br>After a few days had passed, Olaf and the aforesaid sheriff formed a treaty of friendship, by mediation of an oath of each. And together, with one ship, they came to Skye, and they hid themselves in remote places for several days. At last by sending spies they learned that Godfrey was inapprehensively abiding with few men in a certain island that was called the island of [[Saint Columba|St Columba]].<br>Collecting to themselves all their friends and acquaintances, and such men as were willing to join them voluntarily, in the silence of the dead of night they brought five ships from the nearest shore of the sea (which was at a distance of two furlongs from the aforesaid island), and surrounded the island.<br>Godfrey and those that were with him, rising in the earliest dawn and seeing that they were shut in on all sides by enemies, were dismayed. But they put on their armour of war, and endeavoured to make a valiant resistance : in vain, because about the ninth hour of the day Olaf and the aforesaid sheriff Paul entered the island with their whole army ; and they slew all whom they found outside the enclosures of the church ; and they seized Godfrey, and blinded and emasculated him. Nevertheless in this deed Olaf did not consent, but he could not oppose it because of Balki's son, the sheriff aforesaid.
