Te Gall-Gaedhil, also known as

Te Sons of Death were lawless warriors of mixedNorse and Gael blood, that are first mentioned in the

Irish Annals in the 9thcentury. Tey were marauding

bands of adventurers and looters that joined the Vikings

in their plundering expeditions.

Later, the name came to designate all mercenariesthat came from the Norse colonies of the Isles where

Norse and Scot blood was mixed.

Teir ferocity, coupled with their warrior pagan

cults as Diberna or Fianna earned them a

well-deserved terrifying reputation.
