, son of Sihtric, in the beginning of the 10th century, was compelled by Athelstane to take refuge in Ireland, where he had to maintain himself against the natives with the sword. Having married a daughter of the Scottish king Constantine, he subsequently made several unsuccessful attempts to recover his Northumbrian dominions, until the reign of Edred; when finally abandoning England, he plunged into a series of new struggles with the Irish chieftains, and after various vicissitudes, died in Iona, while on a pilgrimage to that island.

His name is connected with the plundering of Kildare in 929, of Armagh in 932, and of Kilcullen a few years later. He afterwards led his Danish followers against Edmund for the recovery of Northumbria, and wrung from the Saxon prince a treaty which gave him the whole English territory north east of Watling Street.

Reutlingen was the principal sphere of his labours, and it was owing to his influence that this town adhered to the Augsburg Confession. In 1535 Aulber was commissioned by the duke of Würtemberg, along with some other preachers, to protestantise his duchy. Having afterwards become cathedral preacher at Stuttgart, he in 1562 retired from this post, on the ground that he could not recognize the "real presence" in the Eucharist. He has left a treatise entitled—"Via compendiaria reconciliandi partes de Cœna Domini Controvertentes," to be found in the "Acta et Scripta Publica Ecclesiae Wurtembergicæ" (Tübingen 1720), along with letters addressed to Aulber by Zwingle and Luther on the subject referred to in the title just quoted.—A.

He was afterwards appointed sculptor to the court, and died in 1803, with the rank of a privy councillor. <section end="317M" /> <section begin="317N" />AULNAYE, ', a native of Madrid, studied at Versailles, and rose to distinction in France as a writer on various subjects.

After studying there till he came of age, he repaired to Athens, where he enjoyed the instructions of Peregrinus Proteus, and the friendship of Herodes Atticus. On his return to Rome, he applied himself to the study of law, and acquired a reputation in that science, which led to his being frequently appointed arbiter in cases of dispute. His "Noctes Atticæ" (Attic Nights), so-called, because chiefly written in the leisure of his winter evenings at Athens, is a melange of notes on history, grammar, philosophy, &c., thrown together with little regard to method, and forming a journal or common-place-book of his reading. Its principal value consists in preserving fragments of more ancient writers.—W.
