description: "Magnús Óláfsson was a King of Mann and the Isles. He was a son of Óláfr Guðrøðarson, King of the Isles, and a member of the Crovan dynasty. Magnús' realm encompassed Mann and parts of the Hebrides. Some leading members of Magnús' family—such as his father—styled themselves \"King of the Isles\"; other members—such as Magnús and his brothers—styled themselves \"King of Mann and the Isles\". Although kings in their own right, leading members of the Crovan dynasty paid tribute to the Kings of Norway and generally recognised a nominal Norwegian overlordship of Mann and the Hebrides. Magnus was forced to cede lordship of the Isle of Mann to King Alexander III and swear fealty to him in 1264 after the Battle of Largs between the Norwegians and Scots after which the Norwegians retreated to Orkney."
