Who was Godred Magnusson?

Guðrøðr Magnússon was an illegitimate son of Magnús Óláfsson, King of Mann and the Isles. In 1275, while Mann was under Scottish authority, Guðrøðr led a revolt on the island. The Scots utterly crushed the revolt, and a contemporary source states that over 500 rebels were killed in the action. It is not certain whether Guðrøðr escaped with his life or if he was among the slain.
