Page "Ketill Flatnose" Paragraph 21

* The Norse traditions provide some members of Kettil's family such as his son Helgi and his great grandson Áleif with Gaelic nicknames, suggesting a link with Gallgáedil traditions.

( Helgi Bjólan and Áleif Feilan, which mean Helgi " little mouth " and Áleif " little wolf ".

) His daughter Auðr is recorded as a devout Christian and one of her freedmen, Erpr, has a Pictish name.

Ketill's nephew Orlyg Hrappsson is linked to the Celtic church and was a follower of St Columba.
