Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.
Ragnall mac Gofraid
Ragnall mac Gofraid( died 1004/1005) was King of the Isles and likely a member of the Uí Ímair kindred.
He was a son of Gofraid mac Arailt, King of the Isles.
Ragnall and Gofraid flourished at a time when the Kingdom of the Isles seems to have suffered from Orcadian encroachment at the hands of Sigurðr Hlǫðvisson, Earl of Orkney.
Gofraid died in 989.
Although Ragnall is accorded the kingship upon his own death in 1004 or 1005, the succession after his father's death is uncertain.
During his career, Ragnall may have contended with Gilli, an apparent Hebridean rival who was closely aligned with Sigurðr.
Another possible opponent of Ragnall may have been Sveinn Haraldsson, King of Denmark who attacked Mann in 955.
This man is recorded to have been exiled from Scandinavia at one point in his career, and to have found shelter with a certain, a monarch that could refer to Ragnall himself.
Whatever the case, Mann also fell prey to Æthelræd II, King of the English in 1000.
Both military operations may have been the retaliation.
The circumstances surrounding Ragnall's death in Munster are unknown.
On one hand it is possible that he had been exiled from the Isles at the time of his demise.
Another possibility is that he had —or was in the process of—forming an alliance with Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig, King of Munster, a man who seems to have held an alliance with Ragnall's father.
On possibility is that Ragnall sought assistance from Briain after having been forced from the Isles by Orcadian military might.
A power vacuum resulting from Ragnall's demise may partly account from the remarkable English invasion of England by Máel Coluim mac Cináeda, King of Alba.
At about the same time as Ragnall's death, Brian occupied the high kingship of Ireland, and there is evidence to suggest that the latter's authority stretched into the Irish Sea region and northern Britain.
Not long afterwards, an apparent brother of Ragnall, Lagmann mac Gofraid, is attested on the Continent, a fact which might be evidence that this man had been ejected from the Isles by Brian.
An apparent son Lagmann was slain in battle against Brian's forces in 1014.
The lack of a suitable native candidate to reign in the Isles may have led to the region falling under the royal authority of the Norwegian Hákon Eiríksson.
The latter's death in 1029 or 1030 may have likewise contributed to the rise Echmarcach mac Ragnaill, King of Dublin and the Isles, a possible son of Ragnall.
Other children of Ragnall could include Cacht ingen Ragnaill, and the father of Gofraid mac Amlaíb meic Ragnaill, King of Dublin.
Ragnall Guthfrithson
Ragnall Guthfrithson  was a Viking leader who ruled Viking Northumbria in the 10th century.
He was the son of Gofraid ua Ímair and great-grandson of Ímar, making him one of the Uí Ímair.
He ruled Northumbria in 943 and 944, either with, or in opposition to, Olaf Cuaran.
Ragnall and Olaf were driven out of Northumbria by the English in 944.
His later life is unknown but it is possible he was the "king of the Danes" who is reported as being killed by the Saxons at York in 944 or 945.

Sennedjem had the title" Servant in the Place of Truth".
He was buried along with his wife, Iyneferti, and family in a tomb in the village necropolis.
His tomb was discovered January 31, 1886.
When Sennedjem's tomb was found, in it there was regular furniture from his home, including a stool and a bed, which he actually used when he was alive.
His titles included Servant in the Place of Truth, meaning that he worked on the excavation and decoration of the nearby royal tombs.

Where Was I
" Where Was I?" may refer to:
Ragnall ua Ímair, King of Waterford
Ragnall ua Ímair( died 1035), also known as Ragnall mac Ragnaill, was an eleventh- century King of Waterford.
He appears to have ruled as king from 1022 to 1035, the year of his death.
Gofraid ua Ímair
Gofraid ua Ímair or Guthfrith of Ivar (fl.
from AD 918 until death in 934) was a Viking leader who ruled Dublin and briefly Viking Northumbria in the early 10th century.
He was a grandson of Ímar and a member of the Uí Ímair.
Gofraid was most probably among those Vikings expelled from Dublin in 902, whereafter he helped his kinsman Ragnall conquer Northumbria.
Another kinsman, Sitric Cáech, became ruler of Dublin around the same time.
Ragnall died in 920, and so the following year Sitric left Dublin to rule in Northumbria, and Gofraid succeeded Sitric as ruler of Dublin.
Sitric's early reign was marked by raids he conducted against the native Irish, including one at Armagh.
Sitric Cáech died in 927 and Gofraid left for Northumbria, delegating authority in Dublin to his sons.
This upset the sons of Sitric, who allied with a "son of Helgi", possibly Tomrair mac Ailchi of Limerick, and seized the city.
This act began a period of conflict between the Vikings of Dublin and Limerick which would last until 937.
Gofraid's attempt to rule in Northumbria was unsuccessful and he was driven out by Æthelstan of England within six months.
He returned to Dublin to eject the sons of Sitric and continued to rule as king there.
Following his return he led further raids, including attacks on Kildare and Dunmore Cave.
In 931 he led an attack on a camp established by the Vikings of Limerick at Mag Raigne, near the borders of Gofraid's kingdom, with the intent of containing Gofraid's power.
Gofraid died of a sickness in 934 and he was succeeded as king by his son Amlaíb mac Gofraid.
