 Called the "Dubgaill" or "Dubgenti" ("Dark Foreigners" or "Dark Gentiles"), these were possibly Scandinavians of Danish or Anglo-Danish origin who hoped to take advantage of the shifting fortunes of the town's inhabitants, known as the Findgaill or Findgenti ("Fair Foreigners" or "Fair Gentiles"), who were possibly Scandinavians of Norwegian origin – though there is still no consensus among historians as to the meaning of these terms.Whatever their provenance, the Dubgaill defeated the Norsemen of Dublin and destroyed their settlement; in the same year they raided the "longphort" at Lind Dúachaill (Linns, near Annagassan in County Louth) and slaughtered the Findgaill.The following year the Dubgaill inflicted another significant defeat on the Findgaill at Snám Aignech (Carlingford Lough).
