AD 870

Aulaffe, and his son Ivar (Ibid) fitted out a fleet of 200 ships, and sailed over to Britain in aid of their countrymen Hinguar and Hubba; and making a successful expedition, they returned to Dublin the year following, loaded with vast booty and a great number of prisoners. The Ulster annals describe the event below.

"Amlaph and Yvar came to Ath-Cliath out of Albany with 200 ships, and brought with them a great prey of English, Britons and Picts into captivity."

King Aulaffe died soon after his return.
