UÃ Fiachrach Aidhne
Uà Fhiachrach Aidhne (also known as Hy Fiachrach) was a kingdom located in what is now the south of County Galway. Legendary origins and geography Originally known as Aidhne, it was said to have been settled by the mythical Fir Bolg. Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh's Leabhar na nGenealach states that the Tuath mhac nUmhoir were led by leader Conall Caol, son of Aonghus mac Úmhór. Connall was killed at the Battle of Maigh Mucruimhe in 195, and his body brought back to Aidhne where it was interred at a leacht called Carn Connell (itself the site of a major battle some centuries later). Located in the south of what is now County Galway, Aidhne was coextensive with the present diocese of Kilmacduagh. It was bounded on the west by Loch Lurgain (Galway Bay) and the district of Burren in County Clare. County Clare also bounds Aidhne on its south and south-east side.

Fergal Aidne Mac Artgaile
Fergal Aidne mac Artgaile (died 696) was a King of Connacht from the Ui Fiachrach Aidhne branch of the Connachta. He was the grandson of Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin (died 663), the hero of many Irish sagas, and was the last member of this branch to hold the overlordship of Connacht. The kinglists have misplaced his reign by placing it after Cellach mac Rogallaig (died 705)''Book of Leinster'', Section 30 and ''Laud Synchronims'' but the annals such as the ''Annals of Tigernach'' give him a reign after Dúnchad Muirisci mac Tipraite (died 683) in the years 683–696. Nothing is recorded of his reign however. The lines descended from Fergal (the Cenel Guairi) included the O'Heynes and O'Clearys while the O’Shaughnessys descended from his brother Aed (Cenel nAeda).

Nobility From County Galway
Nobility is a social class found in many societies that have an aristocracy. It is normally ranked immediately below royalty. Nobility has often been an estate of the realm with many exclusive functions and characteristics. The characteristics associated with nobility may constitute substantial advantages over or relative to non-nobles or simply formal functions (e.g., precedence), and vary by country and by era. Membership in the nobility, including rights and responsibilities, is typically hereditary and patrilineal. Membership in the nobility has historically been granted by a monarch or government, and acquisition of sufficient power, wealth, ownerships, or royal favour has occasionally enabled commoners to ascend into the nobility. There are often a variety of ranks within the noble class. Legal recognition of nobility has been much more common in monarchies, but nobility also existed in such regimes as the Dutch Republic (1581–1795), the Republic of Genoa (1005â ...
