Sil Anmchadha of the Uí Maine (East Connacht)
|
Located in east Galway and south Roscommon. Keating in his history of Ireland states that Uí Maine comprised the baronies of Ballymoe, Ballintober, South Athlone, and Moycarn in co. Roscommon, and also Ballymoe, Traquin, Killian, Kilconnell, Cluainmacnowen, Longford, Leitrim, Loughrea in Co. Galway and portions of Upper Tulla in co. Clare. About the 5th century (357 AD), a northern tribe moved into East Galway; they are said to be descended from Colla dá Críoch (one of the Three Collas), as stated in O Kelly genealogy. They occupied an area around Ballinasloe and Creagh takes its name from them. One of their chieftains was called Máine Mór and, from then on, they became known as Uí Maine, or HY-Many. A different "Úa Maine" genealogy is descended from Conn of the Hundred Battles, e.g. Maine, a quo Uí Maine, m Echdach m. Domnaill m. Fiachach Sraiptine m. Carpri Lifechair. Another separate Uí Maine genealogy descends from Óengus Dub, grandson of Cathaír Mór, of the Ua Failge sept of Leighin (leinster). Still another genealogy is cited as Maine, son of Niall [of the Nine Hostages], a quo Ui Maine & Fir Thethba. The O Kellys, O Donnellans and O Maddens were prominent septs of the Uí Máine. The O Maddens (Ó Madadháin) sept of Sil Anmchadha (Silanchia, Siol Anmachadha) held territory in co. Galway next to the Shannon and extending over the river in Offaly. Ó Treasaigh (O Tracy) are kin to the O Maddens. In 1585, a
proclamation of Parliament was issued to the men of Ireland, commanding their
chiefs to assemble in Dublin precisely on May-day. Teige, the son of William,
son of Teige Duv O'Kelly; and O'Madden (Donnell, the son of John, son of
Breasal), were among those who attended. A Fiant of Elizabeth I, lists the
treaty with Donell O
Madden: Fiants of Elizabeth I
1585...4718 (3891) Grant to Donell O Madden,
of Longforde, chief of his nation; of all the manors, castles and lands
surrendered by him by his deed of 3 June, viz:- Longeforde, Tireihane,

the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records in Ireland. [7th March, 1883.] The Traceys of the Cenél Eóghain of West Ulster, were also known Muinter Tressach [Tracey Family]. A document listed in the Genealogy Office Dublin, gives a genealogy of the O’Tracy who were probable located in the west of Ireland. 1000 to 1625 AD O'Tracy Genealogy (Irish Genealogy Office Ms
159) There is a reference to a Gortrassy and Sessueman Castle, Co. Sligo, which in the 16th century was occupied by the French family. This is the only actual reference found to a Tracey castle in Ireland. In the
8th January 1867 edition of the Limerick Reporter, there is an article
entitled "Singular mode of burial of the Traceys of Wexford. - The
English and Irish Traceys" which may have been written by Thomas Stanley
Tracey, there is a reference that the Traceys had a castle at Kiltormer
Galway. Laffan in
an article (23 December 1871 The Pilot, Boston & New York, USA) has the
following: “The
Tressaghs, anglicized Treacys...A chief of this ancient family held the
castle and lands of Imokilly [east Cork] under Gerald Earl of Desmond, and on
the confiscation of that Earl’s vast estates in the reign of ‘ her maiden
Majesty’ Queen Elizabeth, the the aforesaid castle and lands, comprising
2,460 acres, were granted to Arthur Robins, an English undertaker. Art Buidhe
O’Treacy, son to the ejected chief, settled in Kiltormer, county Galway, in
the reign of James 1., where he obtained lands from O’Madden Dynast, of that
county. There his descendants are numerous at this day.” |

The map of Hiberniae Britannicae Insulae Nova Descriptio by Abraham
Ortelius, Antwerp 1587, is very interesting in that it shows Ireland before
the flight of the Gaelic nobility. It shows 'Norman' and Gaelic nobility living
side-by-side. In Connacht, there are “The Erle of O Maddyn” [east Galway] and
“O Madame” [Sligo]. Of interest, there are also two references to “Clan
Ricard”. In the 1599/1609 map ‘Irlandiae Accurata Descriptio’, there is a lot more detail but what appear to be atypical errors. The name O’Madden appears to be spelt “O McDian” and beside the river Suck, there appears to be the family of ‘Fease’, which may be a corruption of Treasy. |

In the
genealogy of the Uí Bairrche
(Traceys of the Laigin),
there is the following:
93. Cairpe Filed [the poet] from whom are Clainn Cairpe in Conmaicne Réin or Sliab Cairpe. Who had to leave their original territory owing to the slaying of the son of Ennae, the King of Laigin by Echach Guinig of the Ulaid. Keating states he was king of Leinster. 94. Fechín 95. Nóe 96.

There are
other Ui Bairrche references to this area such as Foibran (Foibhren in
Grecraige Sligo/Roscommon) and to the other Ui Bairrche tribe Nosraige Gulban Guirt in the territory of
Cairpe Droma Cliab [Drumcliff Co. Sligo].
In the same
general area in Mayo there are Tracey placenames: There was the ancient 6th century
place name of Fearsad Tresi (Treisi’s channel) located below the Abbey of
Rafan, parish of Killala. There is also Trassey/Tressy Mountain and Corradrishy
[Coirdressagh] in the parish of Attymass.
Of the Uí Bairrche, St. Fiacc of Sleibhte (Sleaty on the
Barrow river, just north of Carlow Town), lived about 415-520AD, was a poet and
was the first bishop of Leinster, appointed by St. Patrick. When Fiacc met St.
Patrick he was coming from Connacht.

Poem
addressed to Eoghan O’Madden:
Son to him was Dunadhach of Sadinn,
Who had
three [younger] sons, as I reckon,
Three
intelligent sons, over whom no king triumphed,
Treasach,
and Ruarg, and Ruaidhri.
The race of
Treasach, decendant of the fair Anmchadh,
Are the
Muinter-Treasaigh, as I reckon,
The
O’Treasys are therefore by us mentioned,
We have
cultivated their history.

and O'Cuaghan,17 haue giuen these almes to the Church of Cluain,
viz., threescore masscoates called Cochalls, three score surplices, and three
score girdles, wth three score chalices. Be it knowen to all men that those
liuings were comeing to Cluain in the tyme of the bushop Muir chertagh
O'Murridhe, and euery of ye successors of Kyran were to keep in record this
life; and these are the bookes where this life is to be found, viz., the auncient life of St Kyran, and the Red booke,
and it was the Bushop Muirchertagh O'Muridhe that caused this to be written,
and drawen out of the auncient life of Kyran in this easie language, fearing
least it should be obscured or lost, togither wth what other things yt were
bestowed uppon Cluain during his life when the yeare of the Lord was 20, three
hundred and a thousand yeares, uppon the stone of whose tomb was engraven in
Irish Muriertach O Murride Bp of Clone, Head of all Meth. Slanan his Foster
Brother erected this stone monument for him.
12 O’Cobhthy. Now O'Cowhig
or Coffey. This family was seated in the barony of Barry roe, in the county of
Cork. See Smith's "History of the county of Cork," Book n., c.iii.,
and "Miscellany of the Celtic Society," p. 59.
13 OFloinn. i.e. O'Flyn of
the race of Corea Laighe, in the south of the county of Cork. See
"Miscellany of the Celtic Society," pp. 9, 10.
14 O’Hidersgoil. Now
O'Driscoll. These families are referred to by Irish genealogists as not
descended of the race of Milesius of Spain. But they descend from Lughaidh, son
of Ith, the uncle of Milesius, which makes them to be at least of the same race
as the Milesians.

It is
presumed that this is a reference to Munster families, but it seems more like
to refer to families near Clonmacnoise, which in earlier times was close to the
territory of the Sil Anmchadha. The names listed are similar to those in ‘The Tribes and
Customs of Hy-Many’. The dating of the manuscript has also been disputed as
there was no bishop Muriertach
O Murride in 1320 or later. The closest match is Muirchertach Ua Máeluidir,
bishop of Clonfert and Clonmacnois, who died in the year 1187. Annette
Kehnel thinks that this list of families is a seventeen century addition to the
manuscript and that the familes lived locally.

hostages of the Ui Briuin Brefne and made Ualgarg O Ruairc king over them,
and took hostages of the Clann Cellaig, of O Matadain, of the Ui Diarmata, of
O hEgra and O Dubda. He then set out to banish the Galls of West Connacht,
burning Ballylahan and killing Stephen d'Exeter, Miles Gocan, William
Prendergast, John Standon—these were knights—and William Lawless,
slaughtering unnumbered people with them. He plundered and burnt the
countryside from the castle of Corran to the Robe, both church and lay
property, and returned afterwards to his house with victory and much booty.
Immediately afterwards they went to meet [the army of] Leth Moga at Meelick,
where he burned and broke down the castle; and afterwards Muirchertach O

to each other. He then turned back to Roscommon, intending to raze it. |

1316.5 But on
hearing that William Burke had come into Connacht from Scotland, Feidlim
called upon his subjects to assemble an army to expel him; and the army was
assembled from all the region between Assaroe and Aughty. Moreover Donnchad O
Briain, king of Thomond, came with his assembled host, and O Maelsechlainn,
king of Meath, O Ruairc, king of Brefne, O Fergail, king of the Conmaicne,
Tadc O Cellaig, king of Ui Maine, and many more of the kings' and chieftains'
sons of Ireland assembled to him. And they all marched to Athenry to oppose
William Burke, Mac Feorais, and the other Connacht Galls, and joined battle
with them in front of the town. The Gaels were defeated and Feidlim O
Conchobair, who was king of Connacht and entitled to become King of Ireland
without opposition, was killed there and Tadc O Cellaig, king of Ui Maine
fell with him, together with twenty-eight men who were entitled to succeed to
the kingship of Ui Maine. Magnus son of Domnall O Conchobair, tanist of
Connacht, was killed, as were Art O hEgra, king of Leyney, Maelsechlainn
Carrach O Dubda, Muirchertach son of Conchobar O Dubda, Conchobar Oc O Dubda,
Diarmait Mac Diarmata, an eligible prince of Moylurg, Muirchertach son of
Taichlech Mac Diarmata, Muirchertach son of Diarmait son of Fergal [Mac
Diarmata], Maelsechlainn Oc Mac Magnusa, Sean son of Murchad O Matadain,
Domnall son of Aed O Con Chenainn, king of the Ui Diarmata, and Muirchertach
his brother, Murchad O Matadain, Domnall O Baigill, Donnchad O Mailmuaid and
his followers, the son of Murchad Mag Mathgamna and a hundred of his men,
Niall Sinnach, king of Tethba, and his followers, Fergal son of Seoan Gallda
O Fergail, Uilliam son of Aed Oc O Fergail, Tomas son of Amlaib O Fergail.
Five of the Clann Donnchaid fell there, viz. Tomaltach son of Gilla Crist Mac
Donnchaid, Murchad Mac Donnchaid, Conchobar son of Tadc, Muirchertach and
Maelsechlainn Mac Donnchaid. Eoin Mac Aedacain, brehon to O Conchobair, Gilla
na Naem son of Dail re Docair O Dobailein, the standardbearer, and Tomas O
Conallain fell around their lord. Moreover it is hard to say how many of the
men of Munster and of Meath and of Ireland generally were killed there; in
the words of the poet: ‘Many of the men of all Ireland [lay dead] about that
great field; many a king's son, whom I name not, of the Meath and Munster
hosts was filled in that great rout; my heart rues the fight.’ These deeds were
done on the day of St. Laurence Martyr. Fedlimid was a man of twenty-three
when he was killed, and he reigned for five years till Ruaidri son of Cathal
usurped the kingship from him for half a year, and he reigned again for half
a year after Ruaidri's death till he was slain in this battle of Athenry. |

A hosting was made by the Lord Justice to banish the O'Conors of Offaly from Meelick, after having
heard that they were there; and he conveyed and carried great guns to
Athlone, and from thence sent them in boats to Meelick, while he himself
marched his army through Bealach-an-fhothair, and by Lurgan-Lusmhaighe. He
afterwards took Meelick and Breac-chluain, and slew Donough, the son of
Colla, together with others of the warders. The entire territory was
plundered and ravaged on that occasion. The sons of Melaghlin Balbh were
banished from the territory, together with the insurgents. The Lord Justice
left an English constable at Meelick, i.e. Master Francis, and took hostages
from the two O'Maddens, namely, from Melaghlin Modhardha and Breasal, and
other hostages from Mac Coghlan, namely, his son and others: and thus was
Siol-Anmchadha taken, and it is not easy to state or enumerate all that was
destroyed on that expedition. Three weeks before Lammas that expedition was
made. |
