There are still many questions left unanswered on the (early) Vikings in the Isle of Man, many issues worthy of scholarly attention, and many 'facts' deserving serious reconsideration. I want to invite anyone interested in the Insular Viking Age to discuss my papers or any matter or detail regarding the Vikings in the Irish Sea area and beyond, to bring interesting points to my attention or just to ask questions – and of course to comment on my website. Thank you very much!

Herzlichen Dank für ihren sehr interessanten Beitrag zur Geschichte der Wikinger in der Irischen See / Isle of Man. Gerade bekam ich per Post ihr Buch „Die Wikingergräber auf der Isle of Man“.
Seit fast 40 Jahren verfolge ich nun schon die Geschichte der Wikinger, seit meinem ersten Besuch in Jelling 1983. Meine Faszination für die Thematik hält seither ungebrochen an.

I love your website and the way the image is in the background. Looks very professional. I am new to the Isle of Man and interested in the Viking story.
Best wishes Ginny ginnyp375@gmail.com

Hi, Just having a discussion on the proportion of the population of the IoM is of Viking origin as opposed to Celtic? Thanks

Hi Dirk
I am a 64-year-old student at Murdoch university in Western Australia. I am working on a journal covering the Vikings of the Isle of Man. My question asks after The Perth treaty in 1266 how many Vikings and their descendants stayed behind. Your website has been so helpful in my task (due 2/05/2023). The Information helps me to build a foundation and brings the sources of Viking settlement closer. My journal will use place names, runes, crosses and anything else I can find to present as full a picture as possible.
Thanks for making your work accessible. If there is anything else that could help it would be great if you could point me in the right direction kikiandtricky@yahoo.com.au
Best regards
Richard
