Muirgel was an Irish woman who killed a Viking chieftain in 882 AD. Muirgel was born to an important leader in Ulster, Maelechlainn. According to the Chronicum Scotorum, she slayed the son of Ausli with the help of Otir, son of Eirgni. The son of Ausli was an important chieftain of the long time enemy Vikings. Later historians recalled this act and similar ones as a display by woman of "loyalty of kith, kin and country.”
