'' The first annalistic account regarding Gormlaith appears in the ''[[AnnalsAnnála ofInis InisfallenFaithlinn]]'', a major extant record ofstair na [[MunsterMumhain|Mumhan]] history. The entry of her death was composed some 62 years after her death, making it the most contemporary and temporally proximate.<ref name="The Annals of Inisfallen">{{cite book |last=Mac Airt |first=Sean |title=The Annals of Inisfallen |year=1951 |publisher=Dublin[[Institiúid InstituteArd-Léinn forBhaile AdvancedÁtha Cliath]] Studies|location=DublinBaile Átha Cliath |page=xxi}}</ref> This account stated,

'' Gormlaith's father was Murchad, son of Finn and this statement paired with Queen of Munster, leaves little doubt amongst scholars that this reference is to Gormlaith. The ''[[AnnalsAnnála of TigernachTiarnaigh]]'' are the next chronologically contemporaneous account with a reference to Gormlaith. These annals, compiled in the Irish midlands, stated,
{{blockquote|Gormlaith, daughter of Murchad, son of Finn, mother of Sitric, son of Amlaíb Cuarán, king of the Foreigners, and of Donnachad, son of Brian, king of Munster, died. | AnnalsAnnála of TigernachTiarnaigh, p. 371}}
 
'' Gormlaith also appears in genealogical accounts written more than 100 years after her death. The first of these accounts is found in the ''[[BanshenchasBanseanchas]]'', a catalogue of famous medieval Irish women.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Connon |first=Anne |editor=Alfred P. Smyth |title=The Banshenchas and the Ui Neill queens of Tara |journal=Seanchas: Studies in Early and Medieval Irish Archaeology, History, and Literature in Honour of Francis J. Byrne |year=2000 |page=98}}</ref> The entry in this account echoed the annalistic accounts and names Olaf Cuaran and Brian BoruBóramha as her husbands and Sigtrygg and Donnchad as her sons.

'' Gormlaith also appears in the twelfth-century genealogies found in the ''Book[[Leabhar of Leinster''Laighneach]] dating from 1150 to 1201. From this entry derives the famous "three leaps" of Gormlaith poem, which states she made a "leap in Dublin, a leap in Tara and a leap in Cashel".<ref>{{cite book |editor-last=Sullivan |editor-first=Anne |title=Book of Leinster Vol. 6 |year=1988 |publisher=DublinInstitiúid InstituteArd-Léinn forBhaile AdvancedÁtha Cliath Studies|location=DublinBaile Átha Cliath |pages=1492–1493}}</ref> Some scholars have used these "three leaps" as evidence of her three marriages to Olaf Cuaran, Brian BoruBóramha and Máel Sechnaill, contradicting the annalistic accounts which refer to only two marriages. In particular, the validity of this third marriage to Máel Sechnaill and her alleged divorce from Brian Boru, have been of serious contention amongst scholars. The "three leaps" poem contained in 12th-century genealogies is the only medieval Irish account to potentially suggest a third marriage. However, some scholars have argued that the reference here to "three leaps" is referring instead to children and not, in fact, to marriages.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Ni Dhonnchadha |first=Maire |editor=Angela Bourke |title=Gormlaith and Her Sisters c. 750-1400 |journal=Field Day Anthology of Irish Writing |year=2002 |volume= 4: Irish Women's Writing and Traditions |page=188}}</ref>

A separate strain of wholly negative conceptions of Gormlaith appeared in [[Geoffrey Keating]]'s ''Foras Feasa Ar Eirinn'' composed in 1634. In this text Keating makes explicit the link between Gormlaith's goading and Máel Mórda's declaration of war. Gormlaith's remarks in this [[Early Modern English|Early Modern]] account weighed on Máel Mórda, contributing to his quarrel with Murchad and eventually lead the "Leinster king to seek allies in the war against the Dál Cais".<ref>{{cite book|last=Keating, ed. David Comyn|first=Geoffrey|title=Forsa Feasa ar Eirinn le Seathrun Ceitinn|year=1902|publisher=Irish Texts Society|location=London|page=268|display-authors=etal}}</ref> As to why Keating decided to place the cause of hostilities with Gormlaith is up for some debate. One scholar, [[Meidhbhín Ní Úrdail]] suggested that he was influenced by Meredith Hamner's ''Chronicle of Ireland'' published in 1633, where the cause of Clontarf is attributed not to Gormlaith, but an anonymous "merchant's wife".<ref>{{cite book|last=Ni Urdail|first=Meidhbhin|title=Cath Cluana Tarbh: 'The Battle of Clontarf'|year=2011|publisher=Irish Texts Society|location=London|chapter=Introduction|page=14}}</ref> Keating's work would in turn influence a slightly later text of the same period, ''Cath Cluana Tarbh''. Only one version of this work contains a reference to Gormlaith, but the depiction is derived from Keating.<ref>{{cite book|last=Ni Urdail|title="Introduction" of Cath Cluana Tarbh|page=1}}</ref>
