Diarmait Mac Cerbaill
Diarmait mac Cerbaill (died ) was King of Tara or High King of Ireland. According to traditions, he was the last High King to follow the pagan rituals of inauguration, the ''ban-feis'' or marriage to goddess of the land. While many later stories were attached to Diarmait, he was a historical ruler and his descendants were of great significance in Medieval Ireland. Sources It is believed that the earliest of the Irish annals which came to make up the lost '' Chronicle of Ireland'' were kept as a contemporary record from no later than the middle of the 7th century, and may be rather older as it has been argued that many late 6th century entries have the appearance of contemporary recording. There is general agreement that the annals are largely based, in their earliest contemporary records, on a chronicle kept at the monastery on Iona, and that the recording moved to somewhere in the midlands of Ireland only around 740. Although it is thus possible that the records of Diarmait ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Diarmaid mac Tadgh Ua Ceallaigh, 38th King of Uí Maine and 3rd Chief of the Name, died 1065. Biography Upon the death of Concobar mac Tadg Ua Cellaig, a succession dispute appears to have arisen in the kingdom, with a confused succession. The king listed after Conchabar mac Tadg is simply called "mac Tadhg Ua Cellaigh", that is, "the son of Tadhg Ua Cellaigh." It is not clear which Tadhg this refers; Tadhg Mór Ua Cellaigh was killed at Clontarf in 1014. An entry in the Annals of the Four Masters, ''sub anno'' 1065, identifies him as Diarmaid mac Tadgh Ua Ceallaigh: The plundering of Cluain-mic-Nois by the Conmhaicni and Ui-Maine. Cluain-fearta was plundered by them on the day following. The chiefs who were there were Aedh, son of Niall Ua Ruairc, and Diarmaid, son of Tadhg Ua Ceallaigh, lord of Ui-Maine. Ua Conchobhair (Aedh) came against them, and defeated them, through the miracles of God, Ciaran, and Brenainn, whose churches they had plundered; and a bloody slaughte ...

Diarmaid Ó Seachnasaigh
Diarmaid Ó Seachnasaigh, Irish knight and Chief of the Name, died before 1567. Ó Seachnasaigh was a descendant of Seachnasach mac Donnchadh, himself a descendant of the kings of Uí Fiachrach Aidhne.

For over two hundred years Ireland west of the River Shannon had been beyond the pale of the Anglo-Irish administration based in Dublin. From 1533, Henry VIII began integrating them into his realm, knighting Diarmaid Ó Seachnasaigh and representatives of other clans. Henry later evolved this into the policy of Surrender and regrant.
