Haliday, Charles (1789?–1866) was an Irish banker, bibliophile, and antiquary. His historical pursuit extended to the Ostmen or Vikings who had founded the place and he made good use of Scandinavian as well as Irish sources. It culminated in the posthumous, The Scandinavian kingdom of Dublin (1882; 2nd ed., 1884), edited by his friend John P. Prendergast. (from DIctionary of Irish Biography).
