Commentary
Weis says Ragnhild's was the daughter of Olaf of Dublin and Maelcorce.

In his discussion on Ireland, Charles Cawley says: 'The 13th century History of Gruffydd ap Cynan records that he was born in Dublin, son of "Cynan king of Gwynedd and his mother Ragnaillt daughter of Olaf King of the city of Dublin", adding that his maternal grandmother was "Mailcorcre daughter of Dunlang son of Tuathal King of Leinster". From a chronological point of view, it is possible that Ragnhild´s father was Olav son of Sihtric.'

In his discussion on Wales, Charles Cawley says Cynan ap Iago married: 'Ragnhild of Dublin, daughter of Sihtric, King of Dublin.' Since Charles Cawley did not list his source, I am assuming this was a mistake.

Family Note
Stewart Baldwin: 'No Irish source mentions ... the marriage of Radnailt to Cynan ap Iago. While it would be nice to have confirmation of these marriages in a more contemporary source, there does not seem to be any good reason to doubt them. The close connections of Gruffudd ap Cynan with Dublin are well documented.'

Stewart Baldwin: 'The name of the wife of Cynan ap Iago, her parentage, and her mother's parentage are known only from GaC (and sources dependant on GaC). Although reservations have sometimes been expressed regarding this information, enough of the data from the pedigrees of Radnaillt are verified in Irish sources that I am inclined to regard the information as genuine. For a recent discussion of this, see Seán Duffy, "Ostmen, Irish, and Welsh in the Eleventh Century", Peritia 9 (1995), 378-96.'
