Flathghal Mac Flannbhrath
Flathghal mac Flannbhrath, King of Umaill, died 782. Flathghal's relationship to the previous two kings is unknown, as they does not seem to appear in the extant genealogies. However, he was a son of King Flannabhra (died 773) and was succeeded in 782 by his brother, Cosgrach mac Flannbhrath. The succession in these years may have been disputed between two or more different segments of the ruling dynasty before settling upon the sons of Flannabhra.

King
King is the title given to a male monarch in a variety of contexts. The female equivalent is queen, which title is also given to the consort of a king. *In the context of prehistory, antiquity and contemporary indigenous peoples, the title may refer to tribal kingship. Germanic kingship is cognate with Indo-European traditions of tribal rulership (c.f. Indic ''rājan'', Gothic ''reiks'', and Old Irish ''rí'', etc.). *In the context of classical antiquity, king may translate in Latin as '' rex'' and in Greek as '' archon'' or '' basileus''. *In classical European feudalism, the title of ''king'' as the ruler of a ''kingdom'' is understood to be the highest rank in the feudal order, potentially subject, at least nominally, only to an emperor (harking back to the client kings of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire). *In a modern context, the title may refer to the ruler of one of a number of modern monarchies (either absolute or constitutional). The title of ''king'' is us ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Umaill
Umhaill or Umhall (anglicized as Owill or Owel) was a Gaelic territory around Clew Bay in the west of what is now County Mayo, Ireland, comprising the baronies of Burrishoole (Lower Owel) and Murrisk (Upper Owel). By the 12th century, its ruling dynasty were known as the Uí Máille ( O'Malleys). Originally an autonomous part of the kingdom of Connacht, it later became one of the vassal territories of the Mac William Íochtar. Umhaill's last and most famous ruler was Grace O'Malley (Gráinne Ní Mháille), nicknamed "the pirate queen". In 1576, during the Tudor conquest of Ireland, she agreed to the surrender and regrant policy, accepting English inheritance law in return for official title deeds to her lands. On her death the lands were inherited by her son Tibbot "na Long". Umhaill had a strong seafaring culture. Important sites associated with it include Carrickkildavnet Castle, Carrickahowley Castle, Granuaile's Castle and Clare Island Abbey. Description Knox says o ...

Extant Literature
Ancient literature comprises religious and scientific documents, tales, poetry and plays, royal edicts and declarations, and other forms of writing that were recorded on a variety of media, including stone, stone tablets, papyri, palm leaves, and metal. Before the spread of writing, oral literature did not always survive well, but some texts and fragments have persisted. One can conclude that an unknown number of written works too have likely not survived the ravages of time and are therefore lost. Incomplete list of ancient texts Bronze Age Early Bronze Age: 3rd millennium BC (approximate dates shown). The earliest written literature dates from about 2600 BC (classical Sumerian). The earliest literary author known by name is Enheduanna, a Sumerian priestess and public figure dating to ca. 24th century BC. Certain literary texts are difficult to date, such as the ''Egyptian Book of the Dead'', which was recorded in the ''Papyrus of Ani'' around 1240 BC, but other versions of ...

Flannabhra
Flannabhra, King of Umaill, died 773. Flannabhra was lord of Umaill, the area around Clew Bay in what is now County Mayo. He is the first historically accepted king. His pedigree is ''Flannbhra mac Cumusgrach mac Aongus mac Seachnusach mac Eochaidh Sine mac Tuathal mac Airmedach mac Conall Oirisen mac Brian Orbsen'', connecting them to the Ui Briuin of Connacht. Both Knox and subsequent historians regard the relationship to the Ui Briuin to be a fiction, designed to give them an acceptable alliance with the Ui Briuin, who were Kings of Connacht His great-grandson, Maille mac Conall, would become the ancestor and eponym of the Ó Máille clan.

Cosgrach Mac Flannbhrath
Cosgrach mac Flannbhrath, King of Umaill, died 812. Flathghal's relationship to the kings Dunghal mac Flaithniadh (died 776) and Aedhghal (died 779) is uncertain, as they does not seem to appear in the extant genealogies. However, he was a son of King Flannabhra (died 773) and succeeded his brother, Flathghal mac Flannbhrath, in 782. He reigned for fully thirty years, and it is from him that all subsequent kings of Umaill appear to descend. However, the exact succession is unclear for many generations after Cosgrach's death. His grandson, Maille mac Conall Maille mac Conall, member of the Umhaill, ancestor and eponym of the O'Malley family of County Mayo. Maille was a grandson of Cosgrach mac Flannbhrath, king of Ui Maill (died 812). He had an unnamed brother, from whom the O'Gormghaile family d ..., would give his name to the Ó Máille clan.
