Kings Of Uí Maine
Uí Maine was the name of a kingdom situated in south Connacht, consisting of all of County Galway east of Athenry, all of southern and central County Roscommon. In prehistory it was believed to have spanned the River Shannon, and in the 8th century even briefly extended its dominion west to Galway Bay. It existed as an independent kingdom from prehistoric times, and as a subject kingdom up to the end of the medieval era. The acknowledged senior branch of the Ó Ceallaigh (O'Kelly) Uí Maine is the O'Kelly de Gallagh and Tycooly (see Irish nobility and Chief of the Name), and are Counts of the Holy Roman Empire. Other branches include: O'Kelly of Aughrim, O'Kelly of Mullaghmore, O'Kelly of Clondoyle, O'Kelly de Galway, Ó Ceallaigh Iarthar Chláir, O'Kelly of Gurtray, O'Kelly of Screen, and O'Kelly Farrell.

Aedh Buidhe
Aedh Buidhe (died 600, "Áed the Yellow") was the 13th King of the Uí Maine. The early historic era of the kingdom of Uí Maine is fragmentary. It is first mentioned in the annals in 537. Likewise the succession of its kings. King Brenainn mac Cairbre died in 597 and it is presumed that Aedh Buidhe succeeded him. The Annals of the Four Masters, based on earlier sources, state that Aedh was killed on the same day that King Áed Sláine of Brega killed Áed Rón mac Cathail of the Ui Failghe, whose death is however set at 604. The following verse commemorated the events of that day. ''Great was the bloody condition/of all the Irish kings/Aedh Slaine of the valorous host/Aedh Roin, and Aedh Buidhe.'' He appears to have been succeeded by Conall mac Máele Dúib, who died in 629, although some place Brenainn mac Cairbre's death in 601.

He was a descendant of Máine Mór, who founded the kingdom of Uí Maine about the middle years of the 4th-century. In the king-lists, he is recorded as the 10th (inclusive) in succession to Máine Mór. Genealogy Cairbre is listed, along with Cairpri Mac Feithine and Nadsluaigh as the three sons of Feradhach mac Lughaidh. His pedigree is given thus: ''Cairbre Crom mac Feradhach m. Lughaidh m. Breasal m. Dallán m. Maine Mór m. Eochaidh'' Descendants Cairbre's notability is as the ancestor of almost all subsequent rulers of both Uí Maine and Síol Anmchadha, from the early historic period into the early modern era, a period of over one thousand years.
