	Uí Briúin The Uí Briúin were a royal dynasty of Connacht. Their eponymous apical ancestor was Brión, son of Eochaid Mugmedon and Mongfind, and an elder half brother of Niall of the Nine Hostages. They formed part of the Connachta, along with the Uí Fiachrach and Uí Ailello, putative descendants of Eochaid Mugmedon's sons Fiachra and Ailill. The Uí Ailello were later replaced as the third of the Three Connachta, through genealogical sleight of hand, by the Uí Maine. Connacht was ruled in early times by the Uí Fiachrach, the Uí Briúin only becoming the dominant force in Connacht in the 7th and 8th centuries. The Uí Briúin divided into multiple septs, the three major ones being: * The Uí Briúin Aí, named for the region they controlled—Mag nAí, the lands around the ancient centre of Connacht, Cruachan in modern County Roscommon. The most notable sept of the Uí Briúin Ai was the Síol Muireadaigh, from whom the ruling families of Ó Conchubhair (O'Connor) and ...

	Clann Cosgraigh Clann Cosgraigh or Clann Coscraig was a branch of the Uí Briúin Seóla dynasty and also the name of the district on the eastern side of Lough Corrib, County Galway which they inhabited and ruled prior to the Norman invasion. Its chiefs were the Meic Áeda (now rendered McHugh or McGagh, via ''Mac Aodha''), who, like the Muintir Murchada, claimed descent from Cenn Fáelad mac Colgan, King of Connacht. Early generations of the lineage competed with the Muintir Murchada and Uí Fiachrach Aidhne Uí Fhiachrach Aidhne (also known as Hy Fiachrach) was a kingdom located in what is now the south of County Galway.

	Murchad Mac Flann Mac Glethneachan Murchad mac Flann mac Glethneachan () was King of Maigh Seóla. Biography All that is known of Murchad is contained in an entry in the Annals of the Four Masters, ''sub anno'' 973, the year Murchadh Glunillar ua Flaithbheartach, King of Aileach, invaded Connacht and gave battle to King Cathal mac Tadg at Ceis Corran. Cathal was killed as were some of his prime vassals - ''"Geibheannach, son of Aedh, lord of Ui-Maine; Tadhg, son of Muircheartach, chief of Ui-Diarmada; Murchadh, son of Flann, son of Glethneachan, chief of Clann-Murchadha; and Seirridh Ua Flaithbheartaigh, with a countless number along with them."''

	Maelcairearda Maelcairearda (died 993) was King of Uí Briúin Seóla. Biography There is uncertainty over the succession between Murchad mac Flann mac Glethneachan and Brian. A ''Maelcairearda'' King of Uí Briúin, is recorded in the annals as dying in 993 but this may refer to Uí Briúin proper, or indeed its offshoots. (Early kings of Uí Briúin Seóla were often described as kings of all Uí Briúin as well.) Ruaidhri mac Coscraigh of the Clann Cosgraigh appears in the Annals of Tighernach and Inisfallen ''sub anno'' 992 as king of Uí Briúin and South Connacht, when he is killed fighting the Corcu Modruad and Uí Fiachrach Aidhne, suggesting Ruaidhri is Maelcairearda's immediate predecessor. In the O'Flaherty genealogies, Maelcairearda is given as the father of Muireadhach ua Flaithbheartach (died 1034). A notable event took place on the crannog home of Muintir Murchada, at Lough Cimbe (now Lough Hackett) in 991: ''The wind sunk the island of Loch Cimbe suddenly, with its dr ...

picture info	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 ...
