Síol Anmchadha
Síol Anmchadha was a sub-kingdom or lordship of Uí Maine, and ruled by an offshoot of the Uí Maine called the Síol Anmchadha (''"the seed of Anmchadh"''), from whom the territory took its name. It was located in Connacht, Ireland. History At its largest extent, the Kings of Síol Anmchadha ruled all the land on the west shore of Lough Derg (Shannon) as far south as Thomond; the land between the Shannon and Suck rivers; and a corridor of land, known as Lusmagh, across the Shannon in Munster, in the direction of Birr. The ruling dynasty later took the surname Ó Madadháin, anglicised as Maddan or Madden. In the later medieval era they were sometime vassals of the Earls of Ulster and their successors, The Clanricardes. Legacy In 1651, after the area had been incorporated into the Kingdom of Ireland, land belonging to the Madden, Kelly, Burke and other families was appropriated during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. In particular, the English brothers John Eyre and E ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gadhra Mór Mac Dundach
Gadhra Mór mac Dundach (died 1027) was King of Síol Anmchadha and Uí Maine. Biography Gadhra Mór was one of three known sons of Dundach, chief of the region extending from Grian to Caradh. The others were Diarmaid (died 998) and Cú Connacht mac Dundach (died 1006). He became chief of Síol Anmchadha in 1008, and all of Uí Maine after 1014. Tadhg Mór Ua Cellaigh had been the previous chief of Uí Maine but had been killed in the Battle of Clontarf, so in the following year Gadhra Mór took possession of the region extending from Grian to Caradh. In 1023 he attacked and plundered the monastic city of Clonmacnoise. The Annals of the Four Masters state that he carried off several hundred cows. Four years later he was killed on a predatory excursion in Osraige while accompanying Donnchad mac Briain, King of Munster. His known issue were Madudan mac Gadhra Mór (died 1008) and Cú Connacht mac Gadhra Mór (died ca. 1045 Year 1045 ( MXLV) was a common year starting on T ...

Madudan Mac Gadhra Mór
Madudan mac Gadhra Mór (died 1008) was the namesake and ancestor of the Ó Madden family. Madudan was the son of Gadhra Mór mac Dundach who fought at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. The Annals of Ulster describe him as Chief of Síol Anmchadha on the occasion of his death - killed by his brother, Cú Connacht mac Gadhra Mór (died ca. 1045) - in 1008. Gerard Madden expresses some doubt about his description as chief, as his father became lord in the same year, and also about his parentage. Madudan's only known issue was Diarmaid mac Madudan (chief 1032–1069) whose son, Madudan Reamhar Ua Madadhan (chief 1069-1096) was the first of the Síol Anmchadha to bear the surname Ó Madadhan. In his edition of the ''Tribes and Customs of Hy-Many'', John O'Donovan quotes a prose tract written during the lifetime of Eoghan Ó Madadhan (died 1347) which calls Diarmaid ''son of the affluent Madudan, son of the fettering Gadhra.''

Infectious Disease
An infection is the invasion of tissues by pathogens, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agent and the toxins they produce. An infectious disease, also known as a transmissible disease or communicable disease, is an illness resulting from an infection. Infections can be caused by a wide range of pathogens, most prominently bacteria and viruses. Hosts can fight infections using their immune system. Mammalian hosts react to infections with an innate response, often involving inflammation, followed by an adaptive response. Specific medications used to treat infections include antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, antiprotozoals, and antihelminthics. Infectious diseases resulted in 9.2 million deaths in 2013 (about 17% of all deaths). The branch of medicine that focuses on infections is referred to as infectious disease. Types Infections are caused by infectious agents (pathogens) including: * Bacteria (e.g. '' Mycobacterium tuberculosis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Diarmaid Ua Madadhan
Diarmaid Ua Madadhan (died 1135) was King of Síol Anmchadha and Uí Maine. Background Diarmaid was the son of Madudan Reamhar Ua Madadhan (died 1096). In addition to ruling Síol Anmchadha, he was the last of his dynasty to gain overlordship of Uí Maine, ca. 1134. Ua Fuirg and Ua Ceannéidigh In 1131 he was responsible for the slaying of Domhnaill Ua Fuirg, lord of Uí Forgo. This led to his own death in 1135 by Gilla Caoimhin Ua Ceannéidigh, to whom Ua Fuirg was a dependent. He was succeeded by Cú Coirne Ua Madadhan, who ruled from 1135 to 1158. Family The names of Diarmaid's spouses and partners do not seem to be recorded.

Nickname
A nickname is a substitute for the proper name of a familiar person, place or thing. Commonly used to express affection, a form of endearment, and sometimes amusement, it can also be used to express defamation of character. As a concept, it is distinct from both pseudonym and stage name, and also from a title (for example, City of Fountains), although there may be overlap in these concepts. Etymology The compound word ''ekename'', literally meaning "additional name", was attested as early as 1303. This word was derived from the Old English phrase ''eac'' "also", related to ''eacian'' "to increase". By the 15th century, the misdivision of the syllables of the phrase "an ekename" led to its rephrasing as "a nekename". Though the spelling has changed, the pronunciation and meaning of the word have remained relatively stable ever since. Conventions in various languages English nicknames are generally represented in quotes between the bearer's first and last names (e.g., '' ...

People From County Galway
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

11th-century Irish Monarchs
The 11th century is the period from 1001 ( MI) through 1100 ( MC) in accordance with the Julian calendar, and the 1st century of the 2nd millennium. In the history of Europe, this period is considered the early part of the High Middle Ages. There was, after a brief ascendancy, a sudden decline of Byzantine power and a rise of Norman domination over much of Europe, along with the prominent role in Europe of notably influential popes. Christendom experienced a formal schism in this century which had been developing over previous centuries between the Latin West and Byzantine East, causing a split in its two largest denominations to this day: Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. In Song dynasty China and the classical Islamic world, this century marked the high point for both classical Chinese civilization, science and technology, and classical Islamic science, philosophy, technology and literature. Rival political factions at the Song dynasty court created strife amongst t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
