| Additional information |
Magnus III — "Barefoot," so named according to saga tradition for adopting the short tunics and bare legs of his Irish and Scottish subjects during his western campaigns — minted these thin silver pennings as Norway pushed its ambitions deep into the Irish Sea world. He died in an ambush in Ulster in 1103, the last Norwegian king to fall in battle on Irish soil.
