Ó Maolconaire
Ó Maolchonaire, sometimes Ó Maoil Chonaire, sometimes Ó Mhaoil Chonaire, Ó Maolconaire, Uà Mhaoil Chonaire etc., was the surname of a family of professional poets and historians in medieval Ireland. Traditionally it would have been spelled without the 'h', but with a dot over the 'c', either of which indicates Aspirated consonant, aspiration. In a period prior to the surrender of the Ó Conchubhair Donn and the other Connacht chieftains, it was anglicised O'Mulconry. Specific families, particularly the educators, were systematically targeted as part of the plot to destroy the Irish culture and language, as well as the Catholic religion. This can add great confusion to researchers of this important literary and religious family. It is now rendered most commonly Conry, sometimes Conroy, and possibly sometimes King. There are many distinct groups of Conroys, some of whom also, though less commonly, use Conry, which are Anglicisations of disparate Irish Gaelic names. Overview A ba ...

Sadhbh Ó Mailchonaire
In Irish mythology, Sadhbh or Sive ( ) was the mother of OisÃn by Fionn mac Cumhail. She is either a daughter of Bodb Derg, king of the SÃd of Munster, or may derive in part from Sadb ingen Chuinn, daughter of Conn of the Hundred Battles. The legend goes that Sadhbh was enchanted to take the form of a doe for refusing the love of Bob Doireach (or Fear Doirche), the dark druid of the Men of Dea (here meaning the Tuatha Dé Danann). She held this form for three years, until a serving man of the Dark Druid took pity on her and told her that if she set foot in the dún (fort or castle) of the Fianna of Ireland, the druid would no longer have any power over her. She then travelled straight to Almhuin (Fionn's house) and was found by Fionn while he was out hunting. Since Sadhbh was a human in animal form, she was not harmed by Fionn's hounds Bran and Sceolan, as they too had been transformed from their original human shape. On their return to Almhuin, Sadhbh became a beautiful ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mailin Mac Tanaide Ó Maolconaire
Mailin mac Tanaide Ó Maolconaire, Ollamh SÃol Muireadaigh, c. 1360–1441. The Annals of Connacht, ''sub anno'' 1441, say of him: Mailin son of Tanaide O Mailchonaire, ollav of the Sil Murray, principal author of the learning of Ireland and Scotland and head of his family for thirty-seven years, went the way of all flesh at the age of eighty or more, and may his soul find forgiveness for ever and ever. Amen. He was buried with (?) the saints of the town on the fifteenth of February by the day of the month, Wednesday by the day of the week. In an apparently unusual move, he was succeeded by his wife, Sadhbh Béan Ó Mailchonaire. Sources * ''Annals of Connacht'', A.

Flann Óc Mac Séoan Ó Domhnalláin
Flann Óc mac Séoan Ó Domhnalláin was ''Ollamh SÃol Muireadaigh'' for an unknown time in 1404. The annals record an unusual number of bardic deaths in 1404. Donnchad Baccach Ó Maolconaire died, leaving the office of vacant. His death was followed by ''Gilla Duivin Mac Curtin'', Ollamh of Thomond in music, ''Carroll O'Daly, Ollav of Corcomroe; Donnell, the son of Donough O'Daly, who was usually called ... William O'Doran, Ollav of Leinster in judicature ... Teige, the son of boethius Mac Egan, intended ollav of Lower Connacht in law.'' Flann Óc became Ollamh, but was dead himself before the year was out. His place was due to be taken by ''Tuathal, the son of Melaghlin O'Donnellan, intended ollav of Sil-Murray in poetry'' but Tuathal himself died before gaining the office. The eventual successor was Dauid mac Tanaide Ó Maolconaire, who held the office until 1419. Flann Óc seems to be the only member of the clan Ó Domhnalláin who held the office. Sources *''The Ency ...

Donnchad Baccach Ó Maolconaire
Donnchad Baccach Ó Maolconaire, Ollamh SÃl Muireadaigh from 1385 to 1404. Very little is known about Donnchad Baccach. The ''Annals of Connacht'' merely relate that he was ''Ollam of the SÃol Muireadaigh in history.'' Given that all known past holders of the office had been drawn from the clan Ó Maolconaire, it is perhaps indicative of some unrest that the next Ollamh, at least as far as poetry, was from another family, the clan Ó Domhnalláin.

Tanaide Ó Maolconaire
Tanaide Ó Maolconaire was the Ollamh SÃol Muireadaigh for an unknown number of years prior to his death in 1385. Tanaide Mor mac DúinnÃn Ó Maolconaire, who died in 1310, was the only such ''Ollamh'' recorded in the annals for the 14th century prior to this. There must have been at least one (indeed many) Ollamh SÃol Muireadaigh during the intervening years, yet none are recorded. It is possible that disruption due to the likes of the Bruce Wars and two plagues in the middle of the century - along with ongoing warfare by and among the SÃol Muireadaigh - contributed to this. Neither is the relationship between Tanaide and the previous Ollamh made clear, beyond the fact that he was a member of the general clan Ó Maolconaire. Upon his death, the ''Annals of Connacht'' refer to Tanaide as ''"Ollam of the SÃl Muireadaigh in history and poetry and the most skilled man of his profession in his time, [he] died at Lammas in his own house, after a victory of Unction and Penance, an ...

Tanaide Mor Mac DúinnÃn Ó Maolconaire
Tanaide Mor mac DúinnÃn Ó Maolconaire was a member of the Ó Maolconaire family of Connacht, who served as historians and poets to the SÃol Muireadaigh, and their rulers, the Ó Conchubhair Kings of Connacht. He became Ollamh in 1270, succeeding Dubsúilech (and possibly Dunlang) Ó Maolconaire on the "seat in the Ollam's Chair of the province of Connacht," and was himself a son of a previous ''Ollamh,'' DúinnÃn Ó Maolconaire. The annals state that "Tany More, son of Duinnin, son of Nedhe, son of Conaing Boy O'Mulconry, was elected to the chief ollavship of Connacht; and the ollavships of Dubhshuileach O'Mulconry and Dunlang O'Mulconry were abolished." His genealogy in the ''Annals of Connacht'' is given as "Tanaide Mor mac DúinnÃn meic Nede meic Conaing Buide Ó Maolconaire." The same source quotes a fragment of verse which relates that "Tanaide the teacher/a learned Ollamh/son of DúinnÃn/spent forty famous years/on the floor of Liss Lerthaile," the latter place presu ...

Dubsúilech Ó Maolconaire
Dubsúilech Ó Maolconaire was a member of the Ó Maolconaire family of Connacht, who served as historians and poets to the SÃol Muireadaigh and their rulers, the Ó Conchubhair Kings of Connacht. He appears to have been chief ''ollamh'' of Connacht, and thus presumably that of the SÃol Muireadaigh. However, the entry in the ''Annals of Connacht'' is somewhat ambiguous: :"It was in this year that the reign of the ollavs Dubshuilech and Dunlang O Mailchonaire came to an end, and Tanaide Mor son of Duinnin son of Nede son of Conaing Buide O Mailchonaire took his seat in the Ollav's Chair of the province of Connacht. In the words f the poet 'Tanaide the teacher, a learned ollav, son of Duinnin, spent forty famous years on the floor of Liss Lerthaile.'"''Annals of Connacht'', 1270.18. The possibility therefore exists that Dubsúilech and Dunlang held the post jointly during their lives. Their successor was a son of a previous Ollamh, DúinnÃn Ó Maolconaire. References ;Gen ...
