Khaled Efendi al-Atassi al-Husseini (1837 – October, 1908) (Arabic: خالد الأتاسي‎ ‎ ) was a famous Syrian religious authority, scholar and poet.
 Born in Homs to the famous Atassi family in 1837, he went through the traditional preparation for the position of Mufti, a post his family filled for over 400 years.
 His father, Mohammad Efendi Al-Atassi was the Grand Mufti of Homs, and so was his uncle, Saeed Al-Atassi.
 Khaled Efendi studied under famous Islamic scholars of his time in Homs and Damascus.
 In 1876 he was elected as deputy of Homs and Hama to the parliament of the Ottoman Empire.
 He was also given the post of Mudarres (teacher) in the Mosuqe of Khaled ibn Al-Waleed in Homs, a post that was held by his family for generations.
 In 1861, and while his father was still alive, Khaled Efendi assumed the position of the Mufti.
 However, Islamic court registers of Homs later designate him as the Deputy-Mufti, and his father as the Mufti.
 In 1882 the Mufti of Homs, Mohammad Al-Atassi died, but the Ottoman administration handed the Mufti position to sheikh Hafez Al-Jindi Al-Abassi, who served as a Mufti till 1885.
 Khaled Efendi became the Mufti of Homs in 1885 by an official decree, and was removed from his post in 1894, to be filled by his brother, Abdu-Lateef Al-Atassi.
Ímar (Old Norse: "Ívarr" ; died c. 873) was a Viking leader in Ireland and Scotland in the mid-late ninth century who founded the Uí Ímair dynasty, and whose descendants would go on to dominate the Irish Sea region for several centuries.
 He was the son of the king of Lochlann, identified in the non-contemporary "Fragmentary Annals of Ireland" as Gofraid.
 The "Fragmentary Annals" name Auisle and Amlaíb Conung as his brothers.
 Another Viking leader, Halfdan Ragnarsson, is considered by some scholars to be another brother.
 The Irish Annals title Amlaíb, Ímar and Auisle "kings of the foreigners".
 Modern scholars use the title "kings of Dublin" after the Viking settlement which formed the base of their power.
 Some scholars consider Ímar to be identical to Ivar the Boneless, a Viking commander of the Great Heathen Army named in contemporary English sources who also appears in the Icelandic sagas as a son of the legendary Viking Ragnar Lodbrok.
