Marcán
Marcán, 10th King of Uà Maine, died 556. Marcán was the first of two semi-historical kings who reigned subsequent to that of the first attested king of Uà Maine, Maine mac Cearbhall. Marcán appears to be unique among the dynasty in that he is not recorded in the genealogies, nor are there any families known to claim descent from him. Only one other king of Uà Maine, Marcán mac Tommáin (slain 653), bore his name, but their relationship is uncertain.

Marcán Mac Tommáin
Marcán mac Tommáin (died 653) was the 15th king of the Uà Maine. In his time the Uà Maine were allied and subject to the Ui Fiachrach Aidhne, a branch of the Connachta. They were ruled by Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin. The annals record that Marcán was slain in a battle in Airthir Seola by Cenn Fáelad mac Colgan and Máenach mac BáethÃne of the Ui Briun in 653.''Annals of Ulster'' AU 653.4; ''Annals of Tigernach'' AT 653.6 The ''Annals of Ulster'' refer to it as a battle of the Connachta. Guaire's brother Loingsech mac Colmáin was ruling at this time and was being challenged by the Ui Briun.

Kings Of UÃ Maine
Uà 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) Uà 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.

Maine Mac Cearbhall
Maine mac Cearbhall, great grandson of Niall of the Nine Hostages, died 531 or 538. The brother of Diarmait mac Cerbaill, future High King of Ireland. Maine's great grandfather was Niall of the Nine Hostages, making Maine an Ui Neill. Maine's descendants according to the Book of Ballymote were called Cenel Maine. Career Prof. Byrnes writes "In 538 Diarmait mac Cerbaill’s brother Maine (the coincidence of his name is quite fortuitous) was defeated and slain at the battle of Claenloch near Gort in south Galway. According to the Annals of Tigernach, a Clonmacnoise compilation, he was slain by the king of the Ui Fiachrach Aidne, Goibnenn mac Conaill, while attempting to claim the claim the homage of the Ui Maine Connacht. In the later king-lists Maine mac Cerbaill is called king of Uisnech. In the minds of compilers this meant that he was over-king of the Southern Ui Neill, but this is probably an anachronism, especially since Tuathal Maelgarb is supposed to have been high-king of ...

Cairbre Crom
Cairbre Crom ("Cairbre the Hunched"; ''fl. c.'' AD 556) was an Irish king of the 6th century AD; he was 11th King of Uà Maine, in the west of Ireland. Background Cairbre Crom is regarded as the last of the semi-historical kings of Uà Maine, his ''floruit'' estimated to be the second quarter of the 6th century. He was a descendant of Máine Mór, who founded the kingdom of Uà 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 Uà Maine and SÃol Anmchadha, from the early historic period into the early modern era, a period of over one thousand years.

Nobility From County Galway
Nobility is a social class found in many societies that have an aristocracy. It is normally ranked immediately below royalty. Nobility has often been an estate of the realm with many exclusive functions and characteristics. The characteristics associated with nobility may constitute substantial advantages over or relative to non-nobles or simply formal functions (e.g., precedence), and vary by country and by era. Membership in the nobility, including rights and responsibilities, is typically hereditary and patrilineal. Membership in the nobility has historically been granted by a monarch or government, and acquisition of sufficient power, wealth, ownerships, or royal favour has occasionally enabled commoners to ascend into the nobility. There are often a variety of ranks within the noble class. Legal recognition of nobility has been much more common in monarchies, but nobility also existed in such regimes as the Dutch Republic (1581–1795), the Republic of Genoa (1005â ...

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.
