Suibne Mac Colmáin
Suibne mac Colmáin (died 600) was a King of Uisnech in Mide of the Clann Cholmáin. He was the son of Colmán Már mac Diarmato (died 555/558), also King of Uisnech. He ruled Uisnech from 587 to 600. The Marianus Scotus king list names Suibne mac Colmáin as High King of Ireland. He may also be the Suibne referred to in the ''Baile Chuind'' (The Ecstasy of Conn) The annals and other king lists do not give him this title, however. He was slain in 600 at Brí Dam on the Suaine (near modern Geashill, County Offaly) by his uncle, the high king Áed Sláine mac Diarmato (died 604) of the Síl nÁedo Sláine, treacherously according to the ''Life of St. Columba'' by Adomnán.''Annals of Ulster'' AU 600.2; ''Annals of Tigernach'' AT 598.3 Suibne's sons Conall Guthbinn mac Suibni (died 635) and Máel Dóid mac Suibni (died 653) were also kings of Uisnech.

Suibne Menn
Suibne Menn (or Suibne mac Fiachnai, "Suibne the Stammerer, son of Fiachnae"; died AD 628) was an Irish king who is counted as a High King of Ireland. Suibne belonged to the junior branch of the Cenél nEógain kindred of the northern Uí Néill, the Cenél Feredaig, named for his grandfather Feredach, a great-grandson of Niall of the Nine Hostages. The kingship of Cenél nEógain had been dominated by the Cenél maic Ercae, descendants of Feradach's brother Muirchertach mac Ercae. Neither Suibne's father Fiachnae, nor his grandfather, had been kings of Cenél nEógain. Áed Uaridnach of the Cenél maic Ercae died in 612, and the kingship of the Uí Néill passed to the rival northern Cenél Conaill in the person of Máel Coba mac Áedo. Máel Coba was killed by Suibne in 615, apparently in the midlands of Ireland, whereupon Suibne took power. It is suggested that Suibne Menn's control of the kingship rested on an alliance with another minor Uí Néill kindred, the southern Cl ...

Suibne Mac Cináeda
Suibne mac Cináeda (died 1034) was an eleventh-century ruler of the ''Gall Gaidheil'', a population of mixed Norsemen, Scandinavian and Gaels, Gaelic ethnicity. There is little known of Suibne as he is only attested in three sources that record the year of his death. He seems to have ruled in a region where ''Gall Gaidheil'' are known to have dwelt: either the Hebrides, the Firth of Clyde region, or somewhere along the south-western coast of Scotland from the Firth of Clyde southwards into Galloway. Suibne's patronym, meaning "son of ''Cináed''", may indicate that he was a member of the royal Alpínid dynasty. For instance, the patronym could be evidence that he was a brother of the reigning Máel Coluim mac Cináeda, King of Alba, or else a son of Cináed mac Duib, King of Alba. Suibne's career appears to have coincided with an expansion of the ''Gall Gaidheil'' along the south-west coast of what is today Scotland. This extension of power may have partially contributed to the d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Buile Shuibhne
''Buile Shuibhne'' or ''Buile Suibne'' (, ''The Madness of Suibhne'' or ''Suibhne's Frenzy'') is a medieval Irish tale about Suibhne mac Colmáin, king of the Dál nAraidi, who was driven insane by the curse of Saint Rónán Finn. The insanity makes Suibhne leave the Battle of Mag Rath and begin a life of wandering (which earns him the nickname Suibne Geilt or "Suibhne the Madman"). He dies under the refuge of St. Moling. The tale is sometimes seen as an installment within a three-text cycle, continuing on from ''Fled Dúin na nGéd'' (''The Feast of Dún na nGéd'') and ''Cath Maige Rátha'' (''The Battle of Mag Rath''). Suibhne's name appears as early as the ninth century in a law tract (''Book of Aicill''), but ''Buile Shuibhne'' did not take its current form until the twelfth century. includes a detailed analysis of the language and date of the text. He contends that the text in its final form is not as old as generally presumed but should be dated to the early thirteenth c ...

Suibhne Mac Duinnshléibhe
Suibhne mac Duinnshléibhe was a late 12th-century, and early 13th-century, lord in Argyll. He does not appear in contemporary records, although his name appears in the patronymic names of two of his sons. Suibhne appears in the 16th century '' Leabhar Chlainne Suibhne'', which documents the early history of Clann Suibhne. This account claims that he is the ancestor of Irish clan, and that he was the builder of Castle Sween in Knapdale, Argyll. However, other sources suggest the castle was built in the late 11th century by Suibhne MacAnrahan, brother of the High King of Ireland. Suibhne is said to be identical to the "Swineruo", or ''Suibhne Ruadh'' ("Suibhne the Red"), recorded in the ''Ane Accompt of the Genealogie of the Campbells'', a 17th-century Clan Campbell genealogy. Background Suibhne is thought to have flourished in the late 12th century, and early 13th century. Ewart; Triscott: pp. 517–518.
