The result was not to merge into Dunmail. -- Mackem a1 13:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure I'd merge the two for several reasons: - 1) Dunmail is as much a figure from legend as from history; and 2) There's no concrete evidence that the two are the same figure - and, indeed, the dates don't match. It may well be that a historical Dunmail was someone who made a grab for power in Cumbria, such usurpation serving as a pretext for Edmund's invasion. Theelf29 01:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the above, and would not merge the articles. Dunmail is a figure of local legend who may or may not have a basis in historical fact. It may be that Domnall III is the historical basis for Dumnail, however this is conjectural. Unless and until a firm identification can be made between Dumnail and a historical figure, Domnall III or otherwise, then I would suggest that a separate entry for the Dumnail legend should remain.
