• Is Cerball the Kjarvall of Grettir's Saga? Viking Empires, 86-88 says no. Does anyone say yes, i.e. what do Hudson (PoB, 135), Anderson (ESSH, I:328) say?
  • Anderson, 328, note 2: "It is clear that Kiarval who is said to have been attacked in the Barra Is. in 871 is the Irish king Cerball; but the story of Kiarval is probably false. [Then list of annals, conveniently enough]". Quotation of Grettir's saga is 320-321.
• Hudson, PoB 137, "Several matters are apparent...he raided throughout Ireland, and this suggests that he was a truly great lord, on a scale rivaling the ui Neill princes. A second point is that without the record of the FA, Cerball's power would not be evident from the other surviving Irish records. [...obit in AC with MSmMR and AFmN, last Irish king in the original recension].
• Rodolb's base Dunrally?.
• http://www-same.dur.ac.uk/medieval.www/sagaconf/ulfmoller.pdf = The Celtic Impact on the Church in Iceland and Greenland Jens Ulff-Møller
• Harrison, Millhill Burial in context.
• McTurk?
• PoB (after Hudson), follows Áed. This is very unconvincing, even for Berchán.
• Anderson Cogad quotes, etc: 276-277, 279 (Indrechtach), 280, 305ff, 351, 878 (Iona), 404
• Family.
  • Marriage Land/MS linked to Rathugh (Downham, p. 12).
  • Culén m. Cerbaill d. 886 (obit AFM s.a. 884: May Cuilen be under the protection of God /from the pains of hell of ill favour, /We did not think that Cuilen would thus have perished /we thought he would be king.)
  • Domnall son of Bráenán son of Cerball (FA 443), foster-son of Aed f. Dub Gilla
  • Diarmait f. Cerball had Domnall killed? (FA 443) Diarmait d. 928 (AU) king 894 (AI)
  • Dianim, daughter of Dub Gilla d. 912 (FA 441), g.d. Cerball (FA 443)
  • Mor, daughter of Cearbhall, son of Dunghal, Queen of South Leinster, died after a good life. (AFM s.a. 916)
  • Cellach f. Cerball (d. AI/AU s.a. 908)
  • Cennétig son of Gáethíne (i.e. the son of Cerball's sister) (FA 308)
• Oenach Raigne c. 861 (FA 280)
• AI859.2 Cerball, son of Donngal, with the men of Mumu on a hosting in Uí Néill, from the feast of Martin [November 11] till the feast [ ], and he harried it as far as Sliab Fuait, and the North submitted to him.
