Feidlimid Mac Coirpri Chruimm
Feidlimid mac Coirpri Chruimm was a supposed king of Munster from the Glendamnach branch of the Eoganachta.Francis J.Byrne, ''Irish Kings and High-Kings'', Table 13 Not mentioned as king in the Annals or the ''Book of Leinster'', he is mentioned in the ''Laud Synchronisms'' as successor to his father Coirpre Cromm mac Crimthainn (died 577). However, the other references mention Feidlimid mac Tigernaig as king. According to the historians T. M. Charles-Edwards and F. J. Byrne, these lists seem to favour the Glendamnach line and may be artificial.

Munster
Munster ( gle, an Mhumhain or ) is one of the provinces of Ireland, in the south of Ireland. In early Ireland, the Kingdom of Munster was one of the kingdoms of Gaelic Ireland ruled by a "king of over-kings" ( ga, rí ruirech). Following the Norman invasion of Ireland, the ancient kingdoms were shired into Counties of Ireland#2.1 Pre-Norman sub-divisions, counties for administrative and judicial purposes. In later centuries, local government legislation has seen further sub-division of the historic counties. Munster has no official function for Local government in the Republic of Ireland, local government purposes. For the purposes of the International Organization for Standardization, ISO, the province is listed as one of the provincial sub-divisions of the State (ISO 3166-2:IE) and coded as "IE-M". Geographically, Munster covers a total area of and has a population of 1,364,098, with the most populated city being Cork (city), Cork. Other significant urban centres in the pro ...

Coirpre Cromm Mac Crimthainn
Coirpre Cromm mac Crimthainn (died 577) was a King of Munster from the Eóganacht Glendamnach sept of the ruling Eoganachta dynasty. This branch was centred at Glanworth, County Cork. He was the son of Crimthann Srem mac Echado (died circa 542). The chronology of the sixth-century kings of Munster in the sources is contradictory. The ''Annals of Tigernach'' mention him as king in 542 but then names another king in 545, Cormac mac Aillela. The annals then mention his death again at 577 after reigning 17 years. This would give a possible reign of 560–577. King lists contained in the ''Laud Synchronisms'', the ''Book of Leinster'' and the saga '' Senchas Fagbála Caisil'' (''The Story of the Finding of Cashel'') also mention him. In 572, he fought the Battle of Feimin (plain between Cashel and Clonmel, County Tipperary), and defeated Colmán Bec mac Diarmata (died 585) and many of the men of Meath were slain.

Feidlimid Mac Tigernaig
Feidlimid mac Tigernaig (died 588) was a King of Munster from the Raithlind branch of the Eoganachta. This branch of the family only rarely provided a king in Munster. He succeeded Fergus Scandal mac Crimthainn as king in 582. A proverb stated that every descendant of Echu (his great-great grandfather) shall not go to Cashel even if he was King of Munster. This applied to Feidlimid who was barred from Cashel and instead built the fort of Bodumbir, south of the capital.Francis J.Byrne, ''Irish Kings and High-Kings'' , pg 195 He had married Cumman, the widow of Coirpre Cromm mac Crimthainn thereby claiming the throne. The kinglists of the ''Laud Synchronisms'' omit him from the list and instead substitute Feidlimid mac Coirpri Chruimm in favor of the Glendamnach branch.

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 ...

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. 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 Cuinn and Leath Moga, Leath Moga'', or the southern-half, while other parts of Ireland were ruled mostly by the Connachta. After losing Osraige to the east, Cashel, County Tipperary, Cashel was established as the capital of Munster by the Eóganachta. This kindred r ...

Fergus Scandal Mac Crimthainn
Fergus Scandal mac Crimthainn ("Fergus of the Disputes, son of Crimthann"; died AD 582) was a king of Munster from the Eóganacht Airthir Cliach branch of the Eoganachta, the ruling dynasty of Munster. His nickname ''scandal'' means "quarrel, contention", from Latin ''scandalum''. He was the son of Crimthann Dearcon mac Eochaid and great-grandson of Óengus mac Nad Froích (died 489) the first Christian king of Munster. This branch had their lands around Tipperary town. He is mentioned in king lists such as the ''Laud Synchronisms'' and the ''Book of Leinster''. According to the ''Annals of Tigernach'', he succeeded Coirpre Cromm mac Crimthainn as king in 577 but was slain shortly thereafter in 582. This annal contradicts itself by stating that he ruled for seven years. According to Eogannacht sources, he was slain by the Leinstermen who forfeited Osraige to Munster as a blood-fine for this deed. Prof. Byrne dismisses this as later Osraige Osraige (Old Irish) or Osraighe (C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amalgaid Mac Éndai
Amalgaid mac Éndai (died 601) was a King of Munster from the Eóganacht Áine branch of the Eoganachta and appears as the first king from this branch. 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 Garbán mac Éndai 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 His son Cúán mac Amalgado (died 641) was also a King of Munster. Notes See also *Kings of Munster References *''Annals of Tigernach'' *Francis J.

6th-century Irish Monarchs
The 6th century is the period from 501 through 600 in line with the Julian calendar. In the West, the century marks the end of Classical Antiquity and the beginning of the Middle Ages. The collapse of the Western Roman Empire late in the previous century left Europe fractured into many small Germanic kingdoms competing fiercely for land and wealth. From the upheaval the Franks rose to prominence and carved out a sizeable domain covering much of modern France and Germany. Meanwhile, the surviving Eastern Roman Empire began to expand under Emperor Justinian, who recaptured North Africa from the Vandals and attempted fully to recover Italy as well, in the hope of reinstating Roman control over the lands once ruled by the Western Roman Empire. In its second Golden Age, the Sassanid Empire reached the peak of its power under Khosrau I in the 6th century.Roberts, J: "History of the World.". Penguin, 1994.
