After King Magnus Barfod fell in battle in Ulster, in a. d, 1103.
'An Irishman named Harald Gille came forward and passed himself off for a son of that Monarch by an Irishwoman; and, after proving his descent by walking over a red-hot iron, actually became King of Norway.’ Gill was Prior of Furness in a.d. 1134; and a man of the same name was evidently an important chief in Man in the same year, as his signature was necessary to the validity of King Olaf's charter in that year. The Rev. John Quine points out that in a note to the British Museum MS. of the abbey boundaries the property of Ballagilley, now belonging to King William’s College, is called Balygil, and that it is not improbable that it was then the property of this man.
