'''Pip the Gallant''' (Old Staynish ''Þipæ''; between 935 and 936 – 7th7 October 981) was King of Staynnica from 970 to c. 972 and [[Staynes|King of Staynes]] from c. 972 to 981. He was the youngest son of King Rædulf of Staynnica. His father was assassinated when he was a late teenager and three of Pip's brothers, Ræulf, Rænnulf and Rænouart, reigned in turn.
