In any case, the Icelandic annals, saga, "Chronicle of Mann", and "Chronicle of Lanercost" all reveal that Hákon handed over the kingship of the Isles to Óspakr, an apparent member of Clann Dubhghaill who had long served outwith the Isles in Norway. Other Islesmen in Norway before Óláfr's arrival were Páll and Guðrøðr Dond, the latter who seems to have been one of Óspakr's principal supporters. According to saga, Hákon not only granted Óspakr the kingship, but also gave him command of the Norwegian fleet tasked with restoring peace in the Isles.
