List Of Kings Of Uí Failghe
Uí Failghe seems to have existed as a kingdom in Ireland since at least the early historic era, and successfully fought off encroachments by the Uí Néill, the Eóganachta, and most especially the Normans. From the mid eleventh century its dynasty adopted the surname Ua Conchobhair Failghe, or O Connor Faly (they were unrelated to the other notable Ua Conchobhair dynasties of Connacht and Kerry). Their seat was originally in Rathangan, County Kildare, Rathangan, County Kildare but moved to Daingean with the Norman invasion of Ireland, Norman arrival. In the 1530s Brian supported the revolt of Silken Thomas; on his defeat he was pardoned and was given the title "Baron of Offaly". On the death of the last de facto king, and de jure baron, Brian mac Cathaoir O Conchobhair Failghe, in about 1556, Uí Failghe was split between the modern day counties of County Offaly, King's County (Offaly), County Laois, Queen's County (Laois) and County Kildare by Mary I of England during the Plant ...

Failge Berraide
Failge Berraide ("Failge the Shaven"; ''fl.'' AD 507–514) was a King of the Uí Failge of what became County Offaly. His exact identity is not known. As the eponymous ancestor of the Uí Failge he may be associated with Rus Failge, the son of the high king of Ireland, Cathair Mór, said to have lived in the early 2 cd century. This is the ancestor listed in the genealogies, though chronologically impossible. The ''Book of Leinster'' king list names an early king Failge Rot mac Cathair. The Uí Failge appear to have had an early leadership among the Laigin tribes. This is testified by the early Irish poem ''Timna Cathaír Máir'' ("The Testament of Cathair Mór) where Rus Failge is given the succession to his father. Failge appears as the opponent of Fiachu mac Néill of the Ui Neill, founder of the Cenél Fiachach branch. In 507 Fiachu was defeated by Failge at the Battle of Frémainn (Frewin Hill, near Mullingar, County Westmeath). Fiachu had a false prophecy that he wou ...

Fland Dá Chongal
Fland Dá Chongal or Flann Ua Congaile (flourished late 7th century) was a king of the Uí Failge, a Laigin people of County Offaly. Fland is not mentioned in the annals of Ireland but appears in king lists and genealogies. The king lists in the ''Book of Leinster'' place his reign before Cillíne mac Forannáin (died 652), however the death obits of his sons would place his reign later. He was most likely a contemporary of Cellach Cualann (died 715), king of Leinster and the predecessor of Forbassach Ua Congaile (died 714). Forbasach ruled for three years according to the ''Book of Leinster'' and Fland for fourteen years which gives a possible reign of 697-711 for Fland. Fland was the great great grandson of a brother of Áed Róin mac Cathail (died 604), a previous king. Fland had twelve children by at least three different wives: * by Érenach, daughter of Murchad Midi (died 715) of Uisnech: Mugrón mac Flainn (died 782), King of Uí Failge; Cináed mac Flainn (died 770), Kin ...
