Fíngen Mac Áedo Duib
Fíngen mac Áedo Duib (Modern Irish: ''Finghin mac Aodha Dhuibh'', IPA: fʲɪɲʝənʲmˠəkˈiːəɣəvʲ (died 618) was a King of Munster from the Eóganacht Chaisil branch of the Eoganachta. He was the great-grandson of Feidlimid mac Óengusa, a previous king. He succeeded Amalgaid mac Éndai as king in 601. There is some dispute in the sources as to his reign and that of Áed Bennán mac Crimthainn (died 618) of the Loch Lein branch. The ''Annals of Tigernach'' give the title King of Munster to both of them but give Fíngen's accession after Amalgaid in 601. The ''Annals of Innisfallen'' do not give Aed this title but give it to Fingin. His reign was a prosperous one:Munster in the time of Fíngen mac Áedo, its store-houses were full, its homesteads were fruitful. According to the saga ''Mór of Munster and the Violent Death of Cuanu mac Ailchine'' he was originally married to a Deisi woman but later married Mór Muman (died 636), the daughter of Áed Bennán.

King Of Munster
The kings of Munster ( ga, Rí Mumhan), ruled from the establishment of Munster during the Irish Iron Age, until the High Middle Ages. According to Gaelic traditional history, laid out in works such as the '' Book of Invasions'', the earliest king of Munster was Bodb Derg of the Tuatha Dé Danann. From the Gaelic peoples, an Érainn kindred known as the Dáirine (also known as Corcu Loígde and represented today in seniority by the Ó hEidirsceoil), provided several early monarchs including Cú Roí. In a process in the ''Cath Maige Mucrama'', the Érainn would lose out in the 2nd century AD to the Deirgtine, ancestors of the Eóganachta. Munster during this period was classified as part of '' Leath Moga'', or the southern-half, while other parts of Ireland were ruled mostly by the Connachta. After losing Osraige to the east, Cashel was established as the capital of Munster by the Eóganachta. This kindred ruled without interruption until the 10th century. Although the Hi ...

Feidlimid Mac Cremthanin
Fedelmid mac Crimthainn was the King of Munster between 820 and 846. He was numbered as a member of the Céli Dé, an abbot of Cork Abbey and Clonfert Abbey, and possibly a bishop. After his death, he was later considered a saint in some martyrologies. Early Kingship Fedelmid was of the Cenél Fíngin sept of the Eóganacht Chaisil branch of the Eóganachta, and he is noted as having assumed the sovereignty of Munster in 820. In 823, in co-operation with Bishop Artrí mac Conchobar of Armagh, he had the " Law of St. Patrick" established in Munster, and sacked the monastery, that of Gailline of the Britons, in modern County Offaly. The Dealbhna Breatha was burnt by Fedelmid in 825. In 827, there is the first of a number of royal meetings between Fedelmid and Conchobar mac Donnchada, of the Southern Uí Néill, King of Tara or High King of Ireland. In 830, Fedelmid was back burning monasteries--this time it was probably that of Fore Abbey in modern County Westmeath, while in ...

Garbán Mac Éndai
Garbán mac Éndai (flourished 596) was a King of Munster from the Eóganacht Áine branch of the Eoganachta and appears as the first king from this branch with his brother Amalgaid mac Éndai. The chronology of the Munster kings from this period is confusing. The ''Annals of Tigernach'' mention him as king in 596 along with his brother Amalgaid and he is mentioned as king in ''The Book of Leinster''. However, the pro-Glendamnach ''Laud Synchronisms'' omit him as does the saga of ''Senchas Fagbála Caisil'' "The Story of the Finding of Cashel".Francis J.Byrne, ''Irish Kings and High-Kings'', pg 188 See also *Kings of Munster The kings of Munster ( ga, Rí Mumhan), ruled from the establishment of Kingdom of Munster, Munster during the Irish Iron Age, until the High Middle Ages.

Eóganachta
The Eóganachta or Eoghanachta () were an Irish dynasty centred on Cashel which dominated southern Ireland (namely the Kingdom of Munster) from the 6/7th to the 10th centuries, and following that, in a restricted form, the Kingdom of Desmond, and its offshoot Carbery, to the late 16th century. By tradition the dynasty was founded by Conall Corc but named after his ancestor Éogan, the firstborn son of the semi-mythological 3rd-century king Ailill Aulom. This dynastic clan-name, for it was never in any sense a 'surname,' should more accurately be restricted to those branches of the royal house which descended from Conall Corc, who established Cashel as his royal seat in the late 5th century. High Kingship issue Although the Eóganachta were powerful in Munster, they never provided Ireland with a High King. Serious challenges to the Uí Néill were however presented by Cathal mac Finguine and Feidlimid mac Cremthanin. They were not widely recognized as High Kings or Kings of Tar ...

McGillycuddy Of The Reeks
The McGillycuddy of the Reeks ( ga, Mac Giolla Mochuda) is the hereditary Chief of the Name of McGillycuddy, a family originating around MacGillycuddy's Reeks, a range of mountains (reeks) in County Kerry in Ireland. Origins of the title The Annals of the Four Masters records in AD 234 the death of Prince Oilill Olum, King of Munster, the 43rd direct descendant of Milidh, or Milesius, who died in 1284 BC. Thus in legend and in history, the line of the most distinguished families of Munster traces back over 3,300 years. The McGillycuddys were a cadet sept of the O'Sullivans who about 1600 adopted the surname , in recognition of their devotion to St Mochua. A seventh-century O'Sullivan Mór sent his trusted son, Mac Giolla, to be educated under the tutelage of Saint Mochuda at Lismore. He hence became known as ''O'Sullivan Mac Giolla Mochuda''. The name was anglicised into McGillycuddy. Recent chiefs * Ross McGillycuddy (1882–1950), educated at Fettes College and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
O'Sullivan
O'Sullivan ( ga, Ó Súilleabháin, Súileabhánach) is an Irish Gaelic clan based most prominently in what is today County Cork and County Kerry. The surname is associated with the southwestern part of Ireland, and was originally found in County Tipperary and Kerry before the Anglo-Norman invasion. It is the third most numerous surname in Ireland. Due to emigration, it is also common in Australia, North America, Britain, and the rest of the world. According to traditional genealogy, the O’Sullivans were descended from the ancient Eóganacht Chaisil sept of Cenél Fíngin, the founder of the clan who was placed in the 9th century, eight generations removed from Fíngen mac Áedo Duib, king of Cashel or Munster from 601 to 618. Later, they became the chief princes underneath their close kinsmen, the MacCarthy dynasty, in the small but powerful Kingdom of Desmond, successor of Cashel/Munster. The last independent ruler of the clan was Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare, who was defea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eóganacht Chaisil
Eóganacht Chaisil were a branch of the Eóganachta, the ruling dynasty of Munster between the 5th and 10th centuries. They took their name from Cashel (County Tipperary) which was the capital of the early Catholic kingdom of Munster. They were descended from Óengus mac Nad Froích (died 489), the first Christian King of Munster, through his son Feidlimid mac Óengusa. In the seventh century, they split into two main clans. Cenél Fíngin descended from Fíngen mac Áedo Duib (d. 618) and became the O'Sullivans and MacGillycuddys. The McGillycuddy are a sept of the O'Sullivan's. A descendant of Fíngen was Feidlimid mac Cremthanin (d. 847). Clann Faílbe descended from Faílbe Flann mac Áedo Duib (d. 639) and became the MacCarthy dynasty, rulers of the Kingdom of Desmond following their displacement by the Normans. The O'Callaghans belong to the same line as the MacCarthys, while the MacAuliffes are a sept of the MacCarthys. The Eóganacht Chaisil were considered part of th ...

Psalter Of Cashel
The ''Saltair Caisil'' ("Psalter of Cashel") is a now-lost Irish manuscript, which seems to have been highly influential in Irish historiographical tradition. Not an actual Psalter, it seems to have contained Munster-orientated genealogies, king-lists, synchronisms, and hagiographical material, among other items. Its contents can be at least partially reconstructed via subsequent citation of the manuscript and a couple of descriptions of it; some material may well be reflected or, in some cases, preserved in later, still-extant manuscripts. Both medieval and modern scholarship often holds that the codex was compiled by Cormac mac Cuilennáin (died 908), bishop and king of Munster. However, it is now generally thought to have been produced under Brían Boruma (died 1014), king of Munster and aspirant king of Ireland, to justify and promote the claims of his own rising dynasty and region. Nonetheless, it could quite possibly have been based on earlier materials. Plentiful citations of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
