Saint Dungal
Dungal of Bobbio ( fl. 811–828) was an Irish monk, teacher, astronomer, and poet. He was to live at Saint-Denis, Pavia, and Bobbio. He may be the same person as ''Hibernicus exul''. Biography Dungal was born in Ireland sometime in the late 8th century. His origins within Ireland are unknown, but he may have spent his student years at the School of Bangor. At some point either side of 800 he left Ireland. By 811 he was living at the monastery of St. Denis, near Paris. A letter of Alcuin appears to identify him as a bishop. Solar Eclipses In a letter, directed to Charlemagne, he answered Charlemagne's question of why two solar eclipses occurred in the year 810, drawing on his knowledge of the teachings of Macrobius, Pliny, and other ancient authors. This letter demonstrates "a knowledge of astronomy far beyond the current ideas of his time". Later life Dungal wrote a poem on wisdom and the seven liberal arts. In 823, Dungal was mentioned in a capitulary of Lothair. In 825 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dungal MacDouall
Dungal MacDouall (died before 1327/1328) was a fourteenth-century Scottish nobleman, and a member of the MacDouall family. He was a vigorous opponent of Robert I, King of Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence, and was knighted by Edward I, King of England for his services to the English Crown. Dungal was a close associate of John MacDougall, Lord of Argyll, who he may have regarded as a kinsman. Dungal received grants of lands in England and Ireland after losing his own in Scotland. During his career, Dungal commanded Dumfries Castle and Rushen Castle, and is described by a contemporary record as "Captain of the army of Galloway". Dungal had a large family, and was succeeded by his son, Duncan. The MacDoualls Dungal was the head of the MacDouall family, one of the most influential kindreds of Galloway. Blakely (2009) p. 62. The precise location of the MacDoualls' lands are uncertain, although they seem to have been in Wigtownshire, since the fourteenth-c ...

Dúngal Eilni Mac Scandail
Dúngal Eilni mac Scandail (died 681) was a Dál nAraidi king of the Cruthin. He ascended to this position some time after 668. He was the son of Scandal mac Bécce (died 646), a previous king. In the 6th and 7th centuries the Dál nAraidi were part of a confederation of Cruthin tribes in Ulaid, an over-kingdom in Ireland, and were the dominant dynasty. Dungal belonged to a branch of this family settled in Eilne, a plain between the Bann and Bush rivers in modern-day County Antrim, Northern Ireland. He is styled "King of the Cruithne" in the annals. In 681 he and Cenn Fáelad mac Suibne, chief of Cianachta Glenn Geimin were defeated by Máel Dúin mac Máele Fithrich (died 681) of the Cenél nEógan at what was called the burning of the kings at Dún Ceithirn (in barony of Coleraine, in modern County Londonderry). His sons Ailill mac Dúngaile Eilni (died 690) and Cú Chuarán mac Dúngail Eilni (died 708) would also become chiefs of the Dál nAraidi. Cú Chuarán was king of al ...

Dúngal Mac Amalgado
Dúngal mac Amalgado (or Dúngal Cnogba) (died 759) was a King of Brega from the Uí Chonaing sept of Cnogba (Knowth) of the Síl nÁedo Sláine branch of the southern Ui Neill. He was the son of Amalgaid mac Congalaig (died 718) and brother of Conaing mac Amalgado (died 742), previous kings. He ruled from 748 to 759. The Uí Chonaing had conquered the Ciannachta tribe of Brega, between the Boyne and the Delvin, in the reign of Cináed mac Írgalaig (died 728). However a section of them remained called the Ard Ciannachta between the Boyne and the Dee. In 749 Dúngal won the battle of Ard Ciannachta versus this tribe and their chief, Ailill mac Duib dá Crích, was slain. The ''Annals of Ulster'' state that Aillil was slain in the first attack but in a counter-attack Domnall mac Cináeda of the Uí Chonaing was slain. They call Domnall king and do not associate Dúngal with the battle. The ''Annals of Tigernach'' make the same statements regarding the fortunes of the battle and Do ...

Dúngal Mac Cellaig
Dúngal mac Cellaig (died 772) was a King of Osraige in modern County Kilkenny. He ruled from 770 to 772. He was of the dynasty known as the Dál Birn that ruled over Osraige in the early Christian period and was the son of Cellach mac Fáelchair (died 735), a previous king. The Osraige plunged into civil war upon the death of Anmchad mac Con Cherca after 761. Tóim Snáma mac Flainn was opposed by the sons of Cellach, presumably Dúngal and in 761 they were defeated by Tóim Snáma and were put to flight. In 770 Tóim Snáma was slain presumably by Dúngal.AU 770.2 Notes References * ''Annals of the Four Masters'' aCELT: Corpus of Electronic TextsaUniversity College Cork* ''Book of Leinster'',''Reges Ossairge'' aaUniversity College Cork* ''Genealogies from Rawlinson B 502'', compiled by Donnchadh Ó Corráin Donnchadh Ó Corráin (28 February 1942 – 25 October 2017) was an Irish historian and Professor Emeritus of Medieval History at University College Cork.

Dúngal Mac Selbaig
Dúngal mac Selbaig was king of Dál Riata. His reign can best be placed in the years 723 to 726, beginning with the abdication of his father, Selbach mac Ferchair, who entered a monastery, and ending with the rise of Eochaid mac Echdach of the Cenél nGabráin. The High Medieval praise poem ''Duan Albanach'' names Dúngal the Impetuous, and claims that he ruled for seven years. For over a generation before Dúngal's reign the Cenél Loairn, to which he belonged, and the Cenél nGabráin had contested for control of Dál Riata. It seems that Dúngal's father had finally managed to defeat his rivals shortly before he abdicated. For whatever reason, Dúngal soon lost power to the Cenél nGabráin. His father left the monastery and attempted to restore his son, but failed. While Dúngal was no longer king of Dál Riata after 726, it may be that he remained ruler of the Cenél Loairn. Certainly he retained some following. In 731, he burned Tairpert Boitir, most probably Tarbert on Loc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dubgall Mac Somairle
Dubgall mac Somairle (died 1175) was an apparent King of the Isles. He was a son of Somairle mac Gilla Brigte and Ragnhildr Óláfsdóttir. Dubgall was a leading figure of Clann Somairle, and the eponymous ancestor of Clann Dubgaill. Dubgall's career is obscure, and little is certain of his life. In 1155 or 1156, Dubgall was produced as a candidate to the kingship of the Isles, then-possessed by his maternal uncle, Guðrøðr Óláfsson. Later that year, Somairle defeated Guðrøðr, and the kingdom was divided between them. Two years later, Somairle again defeated Guðrøðr, and assumed control over the entirety of the realm. Whilst is possible that Dubgall was the nominal King of the Isles, it is apparent that his father possessed the real power. Dubgall's father died in an invasion of Scotland in 1164. At least one of Somairle's sons was slain in this defeat, and it is unknown if Dubgall was present. Whilst it is possible that Dubgall retained a degree of royal authori ...

Indrechtach Mac Dungalaig
Indrechtach mac Dungalaig (died 748) was a King of Brega Brega , also known as ''Mersa Brega'' or ''Marsa al-Brega'' ( ar, مرسى البريقة , i.e. "Brega Seaport"), is a complex of several smaller towns, industry installations and education establishments situated in Libya on the Gulf of Sidra, ... from the Uí Chonaing sept of Cnogba ( Knowth) of the Síl nÁedo Sláine branch of the southern Ui Neill. He was the grandson of Conaing Cuirre (died 662), a previous king. He ruled from 742 to 748. In 743 he fought the Battle of Daim Deirg in Brega where he defeated Dúngal mac Flainn, king of Fir Chúl, who was slain. The Síl nDlúthaig sept of the Síl nÁedo Sláine had been allies of the Uí Chonaing in their rivalry with the southern Brega sept of Uí Chernaig and this is the first time these two septs are mentioned in conflict in the annals. Indrechtach is called king of Ciannachta (''regis Ciannachte'') in his death obit in the annals.''Annals of Ulster'' AU 748.4 ...
