Turgesius

Viking chief in Ireland · Historical Figures · Died 845

Turgesius was a Viking chief active in Ireland during the 9th century. Turgesius Island, the principal island on Lough Lene, is named after him. It is not at all clear whether the names in the Irish annals represent the Old Norse Thurgestr or Thorgísl.

Turgesius is read about 23 times a day, in 11 languages.
