Traceys decended from the Eoghanachts
(Southern Munster)
|
The Chief
Irish Families of Munster, stem from the three branches of the race of Heber:
namely, the Dalcassians (Dál Cais), the Eugenians (Éoganachta), and the Clan
Cian. The Éoganachta are named after Éogan Mór, one the sons of Ailill Aulomm
(Oilliol Olum), ancient king of Munster. The Eugenians possessed Desmond, or
South Munster, the present counties of Cork and Kerry, they held also part of
the present county of Tipperary, called the Eoghanacht of Cashel. The
Eoganacht ruled Munster from the seventh to the mid-tenth century. Prior to
that the Erainn or their descendants, the Corca Loigde, ruled in Munster. The
eastern branches of the Eoganacht, located at Cashel and Glanworth, began to
dominate from about 700 A.D. Eoganacht power began to crumble in the late
ninth and early tenth centuries and their place was taken by the Dal Cais,
whose power rose from north Munster (Thomond) in the mid-tenth century. The
Eugenians: Of these the chief families were - MacAuliffe, MacCarthy,
MacDonagh, MacElligot, MacFinneen, MacGillicuddy, O'Callaghan, O'Cullen,
O'Donohoe, O'Finnegan, O'Flannery, O'Fogarty, O'Keeffe, O'Kerwick (anglicised
"Berwick" and Kirby"), O'Lechan (or Lyons), O'Mahony,
O'Meehan, O'Moriarty, O'Sullivan. O'Treacy, etc. (O’Hart) The
Traceys are one of the oldest names of the Éoganachta. These Traceys belonged
to the Uí Fidgeinti, branching out of the Race of Fiachach Fidgenid, son of
Maine Munchaín (or Dáre Cherbba). The Uí Fidgeinti (Fhidgeinti, Fidgente,
Fidhgente, Fidhgeinte, Figeindte) inhabited a region of County Limerick along
the River Maigue, west of Limerick City, from the 3rd to the 12th century.
About 950, Uí Fidgeinti split into two major groups, the Uí Cairpri (Cairbre)
and the Uí Chonaill Gabhra. Chiefs of the former group, also called Uí
Cairbre Eaodhe (Aodhbha), were the O'Donovan chiefs whose seat was at
Brugh-righ (Bruree), on the west bank of the River Maigh (Maigue) about four
miles to the north of Kilmallock, County Limerick. There are extensives ruins
of earthen forts said by tradition to have erected by Oiloill Olum. Ard na
Ríoghraidhe (Cnoc Samhna), a notable hill south of Bruree, may have been an
inauguration site of the Uí Fhiodhgeinte. There are also ruins of a circular
wall with a later addition of Norman square towers. The Traceys belonged to
this group. Chiefs of Uí Chonaill Gabra included the Ui Cuiléin, or Collins,
of the baronies of Connello, County Limerick. Lenihan states that at an
earlier period, the O’Tracies are mentioned as chiefs of Connello in the
Annals of the Four Masters [?]. “Conal-Gabbra, or Ibh-Conal-Gabhra, the
present baronies of Connello, in the county of Limerick, the ancient
territory of O'Connell; but afterwards we find it possessed by the
O'Kinealies, and O'Cuileans, or Collins [and long before the invasion by the
O'Tracies and Scanlans].” Some of
the western portions of Uí Fidgeinti territory became, largely, under the
patrimony of the Uí Chonaill Gabra by the 10th century. This was roughly the
baronies of Upper and Lower Connello in County Limerick, and the Uí Chonaill
name survived as the country of Connello in western county Limerick. Since
the large medieval barony of Connello also included the more modern baronies
of Shanid and Glenquin, Uí Chonaill Gabra likely included this far western
section of co. Limerick. Ua Cinnfhaelaidh and Ua Chuiléin were noted in the
Annals as lords of Uí Conaill Gabhra in the 11th and 12th centuries. The Uí Fhidgente kingdom had
divided in two during the tenth century. Its western section, Uí Chonaill
Gabra, had been plagued by the usual segmental infighting during the eleventh
century resulting in the tentative emergence of the Uí Chinn Fháelad dynasty
[100 in genealogy] at the expense of the rival Uí Chuiléin, once again with
apparent Uí Briain support. In 1127 Ua Cinn Fháelad was one of the nobles of
Desmumu gathered in Cork and this chief was with the Desmumu army in Leinster
in 1135. The following year his territory was plundered by the men of
Tuadmumu and he was forced to make peace. However, the continued presence of
Clann Charthaig mensal land in southern Uí Chonaill suggests that this
surrender was merely tactical. The eastern section of Uí Fhidgente, Uí
Chairpre, had been ruled by Donnubán mac Cathail who played a leading role in
opposition to the rising Dál Cais in the tenth century. It is hardly
surprising then, that his descendants were duly sidelined by the rival Uí
Chléirchín and Uí Billrín lineages. Uí Billrín enjoyed close relations with
Uí Briain and this may have resulted in Meic Carthaig promotion of Uí
Donnabháin after 1118, although this is merely speculation. The sole
reference indicating the presence of Uí Chairpre in Desmumu is to the hanging
of a thief by king Cormac at Cloonbrien in Uí Chairpre in 1130. (MaCotter) There is
little information concerning The Uí Fhidgente during the second kingdom of Desmumu
apart from the extent of Desmond from 1177 which reveals a very interesting
situation. Both Uí Chonaill and Uí Chairpre are then found evenly partitioned
between Tuadmumu and Desmumu, a situation which must have arisen from some
kind of negotiated settlement. In Uí Chonaill, the western half, containing
Shanid, Newcastle, Killeedy and, significantly, Mahoonagh, lay in Desmumu
while the eastern portion, including Askeaton, Rathkeale and Bruree, lay in
Tuadmumu. During the 1150s segmental strife had seen Uí Chinn Fháelad
replaced as local kings by Uí Chuiléin, whose capital was at Cleanglass near
Killeedy in the western moiety, and Uí Chuiléin would continue to be active
supporters of Clann Charthaig against Tuadmumu. A branch of them relocated to
west Cork under the MacCarthy Reagh lords in a later era. It is speculated
that Uí Briain had come to the aid of Uí Chinn Fháelad and apportioned them
eastern Uí Chonaill in a military push against Desmumu. In the case of Uí
Chairpre the division must have been solely the result of Uí Briain pressure
and cannot have had the support of the local rulers. Here the divide was a
north/south one with Uí Chairpre Íochtarach, the territory which later became
the cantred of Adare and Croom, being incorporated into Tuadmumu while Uí
Chairpre Uachtarach, the later cantred of Ocarbry alias Athlacca, remained in
Desmumu. The annals are entirely silent on this area and we must speculate
that Uí Donnabáin, whose capital was probably at Croom, had been unwillingly
driven south to Uí Chairpre Uachtarach which may have been originally the
lordship of Uí Chlérchín.53 An approximate dating for this partial expulsion
may be had in the attribution by later historians to Diarmait Mór Ua Briain
of the building of the castles of Adare and Croom. Diarmait’s reign as king
of Tuadmumu began in 1168. Whatever of this, the Uí Briain onslaught of 1177
would appear to have resulted in the final expulsion of Uí Donnabháin from
their remaining patrimony and resulted in their relocation in that portion of
west Cork to which their tribal cognomen, Uí Chairpre, was duly transferred.
(MaCotter) Many of
the familes were displaced or dispersed by the 13th century after the arrival
of the Fitzgeralds, Burkes and O’Briens. Around this time Amhlaoibh O Donnobhain
(Auliffe O’Donovan) was seated in Cairbre, Co. Cork among the tribe of O’
h-Eidirsceoil (O’Driscolls) by force of arms. In the Fiants of Elizabeth I,
there is are many references to the O’Donovan of west Cork and there is also
a reference to a Balliatrassie (Ballatrasnie, Ballyatrassnie) Ballytrasna,
Kilmurry? Co. Cork. According to Ireland’s History in Maps, parts of Co. Clare were occupied by the Uí Fidgeinti. “The Cineal Fearmaic are given as either Úi Fidgeinti or Dalcassian in origin, depending on which genealogy followed, and were represented by the O'Deas, O'Quins, O'Heffernans, et al. Origins of the Uí Cormaic are given as Úi Fidgeinti with their representatives the O'Hehirs, et al.” In addition, the Dalcassians held territories in Limerick to the east of the Úi Fidgeinti. The origins of the Dál Cais is uncertain, but they were known as the northern Déisi. They are not referenced in the ‘Expulsion of the Déisi’. The name Tressach also appears in the Dál Cais genealogies.
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlkik/ihm/thomond.htm The
Traceys of west Waterford may have their origins from the dispute between the
Éoganachta and the Dalcassians (Brian Boru) over who would rule southern
Ireland. There was a feud dating back to 976 AD when Donamhain mac Cathal,
king of Uí Cairpri and Uí Fidgente, (the ancestor of O’Donovan) killed Mahon,
then King of Munster and the brother of Brian Boru. In 978 AD, Donovan,
knowing that he had to fear the vengeance of Brian, sought the alliance of
the Danes. He invited Harold, who as the only surviving son of Ivor, was
recognised as king of the foreigners of Munster, to his house. But Brian invaded
Uí Fidhgente, drove off the cattle, took the fortress of Cathair Cuan, and
slew Dovovan and Harold. Perhaps some of the Traceys and the Donovans moved
to live with their Danish allies in Waterford and Youghal. Donnabhainn son of
Imar King of the Danes of Waterford (†995) was the grandson of O’Donovan. A sister
tribe of the Uí Fidgeinti, were the Uí Liatháin, who both claimed decent from
Dáire Cerbba. It has been speculated that Dáire Cerbba was of the
Dáirine. In the Ptolemy map, they were approximately located in South Antrim
and North Down in the east of Ulster. According to O’Rahilly, the name
implies descent from Dáire, and he states that this shows them to be a branch
of the Erainn. Dáre Cherbba is
supposed to have been born in Brega on the north-eastern marches of Laigen
territory (Rawlinson B 502). Another tribe, that are thought to have
been of the the Dáirine, are the Uí Bairrche of Leinster and Ulster, whose
ancestor was Dáire Barrach. The Traceys of Leinster and Ulster, are of the Uí
Bairrche. The Uí
Liatháin were located around Cork City and perhaps Youghal. In the early
references they are mentioned together. Aillil Tassach, the son of Liatháin
from whom are the Uí Tassaig, had a son Bressal, who may have been a king of
Munster. The Uí Tassaig may have been confused with Uí Treasaig. (notes on
the Tassy
Family Name). The
Traceys of East Cork and West Waterford, may be decended from the Tassy
Family. Of interest,
to the east of them is the Déisi Muman (Waterford), whose origins are given
in the Expulsion of the Déisi. Current scholarship that the Dál gCais of
Clare were instead a branch of the Déisi Muman. One of the tribal areas of
County Clare is Tradaree,
which gets its name from Trad son of Tassach, which may indicate an Uí
Tassaig origin. In The Tripartite Life of
Patrick, there is the
reference, that Angas daughter of Tassach son of Liathan was the wife
of the High King Loegaire. Also Bishop Tassach, close companion of St
Patrick, is located at Raholp [Ballyculter civil parish] south Down. This
shows thae importance of the Uí
Liatháin at that time, and may indicate that there was an Uí Liatháin settlement in the
north of Ireland. In the late 5th Century, conflicts in south eastern Ireland resulted in the migration of Irish tribes to Wales and south western Britain. At this time, it should be noted that north and south Wales was colonised by the Laigin (Lleyn), the Deise (Dyfed) and the Uí Liatháin (Dyfed, Gower and Kidwely). The Uí Liatháin are also associated with the Dumnonian Peninsula in Cornwall. This conflict between the tribes is thought to have resulted in the invasion of west Cornwall by the Uí Bairrche and/or the Uí Cheinnsealaigh from Leinster. 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.” There are
a number of references to the early historical period that connect this
branch of the Éoganachta with the Laigen of north east Leinster and the Ui
Bairrche, from whom are the Traceys of Leinster. |

Lives of the Saints
In the life
of St. Albei of Imblech (Emly) (†527/534/542AD) paragraph 31, he is in the land
of Uí Carpre and Uí Conuill. There was the church of Acah Cumrech.
St. Ita of
Killeedy (†570/577AD) is the patron saint of Uí Conaill Gabra. In her life,
there are numberous references. She is the aunt of St. Mochoemog of Leigh. Her
church was at Clúain-credal (holy meadow) later known as Cell-Íte (Killeedy)
five miles south of Newcastle at the foot of Slíab Luachra, the southern
boundry of Uí Conaill Gabra. The earliest annal entry found for the Uí
Fidgente, relates to her. The Corco Óche are also referenced in the lives of
other saints and may have become vassals of the Uí Conaill Gabra.
U552 The battle of Cuilen in which the Corco
Óche of Mumu perished through the prayers of Ita of Cluain Credail.
In the life
of St. Brendan of Clonfert (†577/583AD), paragraph 3, there is a reference to
Cella Yte beside montis Luachra (on the border of cork and Conelloe?) in Uí
Conayll Gabra.
In the life
of St. Moluae of Clonfert (†609AD), paragraph 1, it states that he was of the
Corcoiche in Uí Figenti. It states that he was sent by Comgall of Bangor to his
patrimony among the Uí Fhidgenti but when reached Druim Snechtai and remained
there performing miracles. There are also other references and to Molua. Some
genealogists and hagiographers attach the race and the saint to the Uí Fidgente
line.
“After some time
spent at Clonfert Molua, the saint, with many of his disciples, went to
Hy-Fidgente, his own part of the country. There, he received several donations
from the people. The king asked him, where his house had been built. The saint
replied: “I have founded it among many people.” Whether this was meant to
signify, that it had been erected in a populous neighbourhood, or between the
people of Leix, Ossory and Eli, is not very clear, but probably he meant the
latter, as the king then said : “Your monks in after time shall suffer many
persecutions in that place.” Lugidius replied, in the language of our Divine
Saviour, “Those who persecute them on earth shall not see my face in heaven.”
Other accounts have it, that when he went to Hy Fidgente, many monks
accompanied him to his own part of the country, where he received oblations of
lands and of other effects. There, it is said, he built fine cells and renowned
monasteries, which were dedicated to the Almighty, not alone in his native
district, but in other places, in which he promulgated his rule, and where he
left various congregations.”
O’Hanlon, Lives of Irish Saints, Vol VIII
In the life
of St. Maedóc/Aiden (†625/6AD) founder of Ferns, he is reported to have visited
Uí Conaill Gabre on two occasions. Firstly, he went to the fort of the King of
Uí Conaill Gabra (of the fair roads) to try and release some of his kinsmen who
were being held as hostages for ransom. The king kept him waiting outside,
where he fasted causing the king’s daughter to die. He then brought the kings
daughter back to life. However, the king only released the hostages without
payment, when the saint split a stone in two, and he gave him an estate where
he built a church called Cluain
Claidech/Claidmech (Clooncagh, Co. Limerick). Secondly, he restored to life
a foster daughter of St. Ida, when he was visting his father-confessor Molua
mac Oiche, near her church.
St. Senán,
a contemporary of St. Maedóc/Aidenof Ferns. In Wexford, he founded a church at
Templeshannon (Teampeall Senáin) Enniscorthy (Inis Coirthe) and succeeded St.
Maedóc as abbot of Ferns. After living abroad, he returned to Ireland and
founded the church of Inis-Cathaig (Scattert Island) about a mile from Kilrush
on the Shannon. He was a patron of the Corcu Baiscinn and of the Uí Fidgente,
the ruling kindreds of the territory on the southern side of the estuary of the
Shannon.
“St. Sennán's island foundation of Inis Cathaig lay within the sphere of
influence of Corcu Baiscind, Alltraige, Ciarraige Luachra and Ui Fidgente as
both the associations of his vitae and the provenance of its abbots show. Of
the twenty abbots whose obits are recorded in the annals between 797 and 1129,
three belong with certainty and three others with probability to Ui Fidgente.
What is remarkable, the declining Ui Fidgente and the Corcu Baiscind were able
to reassert their claim on Inis Cathaig at the height of Dál Cais power. Abbot
Ua Mail Muine, who died in 1095, belonged to a ruling family within Ui
fidgente. There are no extant genealogies of Ui Mail Muine but a member of the
family, Tressach mac Maile Muine, died as king of Ui Chonaill Gabra, one of the
main segments of Uí Fidgente, in 969.”

52-63
In the Life of Senan, he had dealings with
three kings of Uí Fidgente:
Thereafter Senan went by God’s order, and set up in Inis Luinge, and founded a church therein. Then came the holy
virgins to him, even the daughters of Brenainn
king of Hui Figeinte, and offered themselves to God and to Senan. That was
the first-fruits of the Eoganacht Gabra to Senan. Then Senan leaves that church
with them.
...When those tidings were heard throughout the territories, to wit,
that Senan was dwelling in Inis Cathaigh,
and had expelled the monster from it, and when Mac Tail, king of Hui Figente, had heard that story, he was very
wrathful, and this he said: Who hath
dared, saith he, to inhabit my land without my leave? He sent off his steward
to desire Senans brothers, even Coel and Liath, to thrust forth their brother
from the island. They went to the island to Senan and said to him: It is to take
thee out of this island we have come, for the king of Hui Figente has opposed
us. He says that this island belongs to him as well as the other islands of Luimnech. It is certain
saith Senan, that this island doth not belong to him, and that his share of the
other islands is no greater than my share. It is certain then say his brothers
to him, that it is necessary for us to take thee out of the island. Thereafter
each of the twain takes his hand and dragged him with them perforce down over
the rock. Then Coel grew angry with him, hauling him against the stones till he
was all broken. Why is this saith Coel to Liath, that thou dost not drag this
man along with me? I will not do it, saith Liath. I regret what I have done to
him If saith Coel, thou shouldst go to do any other deed thou wouldst do it
thus Why saith Coel, shouldst thou prefer to forfeit thine own land than to
take this lad out of the land which does not belong to him? It seems easier to
me saith Liath, even to leave Ireland than to outrage this man. It is not
necessary saith Senan (to Liath), for thy children will inhabit the land after
thee. Yon man who loves the land, neither he nor his children after him will
inhabit the land, and it is thou that shalt enjoy it. Then they went away and
leave Senan in his island. As Coel reached the door of his dwelling in Ochtar
Maige Fochaillech, he went to sudden death. When Liath saw that he returned to
Senan and repented. Senan saith to Liath : It is no mistake which thou hast
made in not uniting with Coel, for (hadst thou done so) thy life would not have
been longer than Coels, and thy children would have perished. Said Liath to
Senan: Shall the body of yon wretched man be brought to thee? It shall not be
brought, saith Senan, for it is not meet that the Devil should have his soul
and that I should have his body ; but let him be buried in the hill on which he
fell, So Coel was buried in that place, and his children after him perished,
and Senan hath his land.
2277. Then his steward went to Mac Tail and tells him his tidings.
Mournful was Mac Tail at those tidings and said : I am grieved that yon churl
should have taken (my land) from me perforce. Said his wizard to the king: Thou
needest not be anxious about this, for I will take a charm to him, and he shall
either die or leave thy land in thy possession. Glad was the king at this
answer; and then the wizard went and put the kings two charioteers in order on
Senan, and unyoked in the place that he chose in the island. Then he went to
the spot where Senan was biding and sang incantations against him, and said:
Leave the land with this spell. Said Senan to him:
I will resist thy spell. Disgrace shall be on thee. Thou shalt be
wretched without a noise. . . It is thou that shalt perish. Stronger is the
spell that I have brought with me saith Sendn, and better is my lore. It will
be something if we know [it],saith the wizard, for I will now do something that
thou canst not do. Thou wilt not do any good, saith Senan, that I shall not do,
and every evil that thou shalt do, God will, by means of me, put away. Thus the
wizard brought darkness over the sun, so that no one in he island could see his
comrade s face. Senan charmed the darknesses, so that they went away at once
and it was bright. The wizard brought thundering and abundant lightnings, and
great confusion into the air. Senan charmed all that and he puts it away. Now
when the wizard could do nothing to Senan, he went out of the island, and said
to Senan : I shall not see thee before me here when I shall come again. Whither
goest thou? saith Senan. I go, saith the wizard, to a place that thou knowest
not, and thou shalt not know when I shall come and whence I shall go to thee
again. I know well, saith Senan, thou wilt not come again into the land out of
which thou goest, and it will not be lucky for thee in the land unto which thou
shalt betake thyself. Then the wizard went away in wrath, and he conjured a
mist around him, so that it might not be seen that he was in Dairinis, that is,
an island that lay opposite Inis Cathaigh in the South-east. This is why he
went into it, in order that he might get to the apex (?) of his art therein,
and that he might summon demons to help him, for demons durst not come to help
him in opposition to Senan. Now when the wizard had reached the island and
dwelt therein, the sea comes over it, and the wizard is drowned therein with
his people; so it is (called) Carrac na nDruad (the Rock of the Wizards)
to-day. Mac Tail was told that the wizard was drowned, and at that he was
exceeding wrathful.
...2309. Now at that time the king held a meeting at Corcomruad. He came
to Inis Cathaigh and said to Senan : Is it thou that takest my land from me,
and that slowest my wizard ? It is certain that he and thou shall have the same
burial, for a stone under thy neck will be cast into the depth of the sea to
avenge on thee the deed thou hast done. Thou hast not power to do so, saith
Senan. So the king said to Senan:
Let not my horses be injured with thee. Tis not I that will be thy
horse-keeper, nsaith Senan. It is to thee, [saith the king,] that I have given
my horses until I come again from my journey. God is able, saith Senan, to keep
thee from coming again into this land, and from reaching the end of thy way. So
the earth swallows up the horses in the place in which they were then, in Fan na n-Ech (the Slope of the Horses) in
the west of Inis Cathaigh. That was told to the king and his mind was not
the better. { Not meet for thee, saith his son to the king, was what thou didst
to the cleric ; and we know that he will take vengeance on thee for it. I do
not value him more, saith the king, than a hornless swarthy sheep. Though that
is not mighty saith Senan, God is able to cause thy death to come from it. Then
the king went his way in wrath and pride. Now when he had got so far that he
was going beside a cliff in the north of the district of Baiscenn, the hornless
swarthy sheep started up under the feet of the horses that were drawing the
chariot, and the horses made a great stumbling (?) under the chariot before the
sheep, and the king fell out of the chariot and struck his head against a
stone, and thereof he perished, and went in that spot through Senan s curse, in
defeat of martyrdom, to hell ; and his land belongs thenceforward to Senan.
...So Nechtan Longhead, king of
Hui Figennte, was told that Brenainn and Ciardn were in Inis Cathaigh
conversing with Senan, and that their three days fast without food was
complete. Nechtan said to his steward:
Hast thou finished preparing the feast which thou wast making for me? It
is finished, saith the steward. Take it with thee diligently to Senan and his
guests who are without food in Inis Cathaigh. Thus was done, and the king
himself came, and waited in the port of the island, for he durst not go from
the port without Senan s permission. The feast was displayed to the cook, and
he took it into the kitchen. The clerics then were summoned to the port of the
island to converse with the king. And this he said to them: This is my desire
if my wish be perceived that my service be ... by Senan. Then Nechtan kneels to
Senan and, in presence of Brenainn and Ciaran, offered himself, with his seed
after him, in perpetual ownership for ever unto God and to Senan. Then the
clerics bestowed a blessing on Nechtan and on his seed so long as they should
fulfil Senan s will. And the clerics, even Brenainn and Senan, said that
neither kingship nor primacy, nor good ness of wealth (?) therein, would come
to Nechtans seed which should not do Senans will. Then the king went to his province
and bears a blessing from the saints. So the clerics came to their church and
blessed the banquet that had been given to them. Then said Brenainn: It is
certain, saith he, that God s vengeance will lie, here and beyond, on him who
shall consume gratis the fruit of Senans fasting and prayer . . . since it hath
not been permitted to me and Ciaran to consume it until we had first made its
price by fasting and prayer.

In the life
of St. Mo-Laisse of Devenish, at the end, it tells of the exile of the
Dartraige, a people whose name is preserved in the barony of Dartry, Co.

of the cruelties they practised on the Uí Conaill Gabra, and the assistance
they gave foreigners and gentiles.

According to Breasal Ua Treasaigh, when Munster was divided into its five parts, there were five tribes in each part, and five companies in a tribe, and five hundred effective men in the company. And if the strength of all Ireland at that time be estimated, the opinion is unsound of the people who thought that the Roman with a legion or with two legions would be able to bring Ireland under power of spear and sword to himself, [and] the Irish always being valiant men.

40. Mog Nuadat, whence is it? Easy to say. Dáire Barrach son of Catháir Mor, 'tis he that reared Mog Nuadat, that is, Eogan son of Mog Néit. Once upon a time the fortification of Dún Aillinne was undertaken by Dáire Barrach. Now there was then in Erin a famous rath-builder, Nuada Long-heel, son of Oengus, son of Fer dá chrích in the district of Cualnge. In him was the strength of a hundred, and he would eat the fill of fifty. This slave was brought to Dáire to fortify Dún Aillinn. When they were in the trench, a-digging it, they came upon a huge stone in the trench, and the slave was unable to raise it. The youths of the fortress, and among them Eogan, were on the dyke of the earthwork, watching the slave flinching from the effort. The slave asked the youths to put the stone out of the trench. This the youths, save only Eogan, refused. Then Eogan entered the trench, and clasped his two arms round the stone, and he alone lifted it up, and hurled it into the southern angle of the fort And there it remains thenceforward. Then said the druid to the slave: "Noble is thy slave today, O Nuada!" quoth the druid. Wherefore Mog Nuadat, 'Nuada's Slave', clave to Eogan, and from Nuada he was named, according to this version (of the story). |

The History of Ireland (BOOK I-II) Author: Geoffrey
Keating Cathaoir Mor son of Feidhlimidh Fiorurghlas, son of
Cormac Gealta Gaoth, son of Nia Corb, son of Cu Corb, son of Mogh Corb, son
of Conchubhar

son of Nuadha Neacht, son of Seadna Siothbhac,son of Lughaidh Loithfhionn,
son of Breasal Breac, son of Fiachaidh Foibhric, son of Oilill Glas, son of
Fearadhach Foghlas, son of Nuadha Fullon, son of Ealloit, son of Art, son of
Mogh Airt, son of Criomhthann Coscrach,son of Feidhlimidh Foirthriun, son of
Fearghus Fortamhail, son of Breasal Breodhamhan, son of Aonghus Ollamh, son
of Oilill Bracain, son of Labhraidh Loingseach of the race of Eireamhon, held
the sovereignty of Ireland three years. Now Cathaoir had thirty sons, as the
poet says in this stanza:
But twenty of these children went without issue, and the other ten had issue. Here are the names of the sons who had issue:—Rossa Failgheach senior of the sons who had issue, Daire Barrach, Breasal Einiochghlas, Fearghus, Oilill, Criomhthann, Deargmhosach, Eochaidh Teimhin, Aonghus, and Fiachaidh Aiceadha, the youngest of the children, although it was his descendants who mostly held the sovereignty of Leinster. From Fiachaidh Aiceadha son of Cathaoir Mor sprang O Broin and O Tuathail; from Breasal Bealach son of Fiachaidh Aiceadha sprang Mac Murchadha; from Rossa Failgheach son of Cathaoir Mor sprang O Conchubhair Failghe and O Diomasaigh and O Duinn and clan Colgan, as we shall afterwards state when we are giving the genealogy of the sons of Milidh. And this Cathaoir Mor fell by Conn Ceadchathach in the Battle of Magh hAgha. Conn
Ceadchathach son of Feidhlimidh Reachtmhar, son of Tuathal Teachtmhar of the
race of Eireamhon, held the sovereignty of Ireland twenty years, and was
treacherously slain in the district of Tara, being found alone there by Tiobraide
Tireach son of Mal, son of Rochruidhe, king of Ulster. Indeed, Tiobraide sent
fifty warriors disguised as women to slay him; and it was from Eamhain they
set out to do that treacherous deed. Una daughter of the king of Lochloinn
was the mother of this Conn. Mogh Nuadhat wrested half of Ireland from this
Conn, having defeated him in ten battles. Sioda daughter of Flann son of
Fiachaidh, one of the Earna, was the mother of Mogh Nuadhat. The contest
between Mogh Nuadhat and Conn arose in this way: The Earna of the race of
Fiachaidh Fear Mara of the race of Eireamhon had gained supremacy in Munster
over the race of Eibhear, so that three of them held conjointly the
sovereignty of all Munster, namely, Lughaidh Eallaightheach, Daire Dornmhar,
and Aonghus. And when Mogh Nuadhat saw the race of Eireamhon holding the
sovereignty of Munster, he proceeded to Leinster, where he had been brought
up by Daire Barrach son of Cathoir
Mor, and brought thence a numerous host from Daire to assist him in
recovering the kingdom of Munster, which was his birthright. He first turned
to Ui Liathain in the south of Munster, where the above-mentioned Aonghus had
established his sway, and Mogh Nuadhat defeated him, and drove him from the
territory, so that he went to seek the aid of Conn, who gave him five
battallions, that is fifteen thousand fighting men. With this host he
proceeded to the territory of Ui Liathain, where Mogh Nuadhat fought against
him the Battle of Ard Neimhidh, in which he defeated him with great slaughter
of his followers. After
this Mogh Nuadhat expelled the Earna from Munster, as many of them as would
not submit to him, whence arose a great war between Mogh Nuadhat and Conn,
and Mogh Nuadhat defeated him in ten battles: namely, the Battle of Brosnach
and the Battle of Samhpait; the Battle of Sliabh Musach; the Battle of
Gabhran; the Battle of Suama and the Battle of Grian and the Battle of Ath
Luain; and the Battle of Magh Croich, wherein fell Fiachaidh Rioghfhada son
of Feidhlimidh Reachtmhar; the Battle of Asal and the Battle of Uisneach; and
this conflict lasted till Mogh Nuadhat wrested half of Ireland from Conn,
that is, the part of Ireland to the south of Gaillimh and Ath Cliath, Eiscir
Riada being the boundary between them; and that half is called Leath Mogha,
from Eoghan who was called Mogh Nuadhat; and the northern half is called
Leath Cuinn, from Conn Ceadchathach. In declaration of this division some
poet composed this stanza:
Another reason, also, why
Mogh Nuadhat wrested half of Ireland from Conn is that there was a great
famine in Ireland for seven years in his time; and, before the time of this
famine came, Eoghan's druid foretold, long before the coming of the famine,
that it would come upon all Ireland; and Eoghan, to make provision for the
famine, used venison and fish for food, and stored the corn, and, moreover,
he spent on corn all the rents and tributes he received, so that he filled
his granaries; and, when the time of scarcity arrived, many of the men of
Ireland came to him from all sides, and laid themselves under rent and
tribute to Eoghan for his supporting them during that time of distress, as we
read in the poem which begins, Eoghan Mor, great was his success: 1.
Eoghan transcended Conn, 2.
Lean famine rained on them— 3.
When men heard—far it spread— Mogh Nuadhat had four
names, namely, Eoghan Fidhfheacach, Eoghan Mor, Eoghan Taoidhleach, and Mogh
Nuadhat, as the poet says in this stanza: 1.
Four names without grief Now, if thou desirest, to
learn the reason of each of these names mentioned in this stanza, read the
Coir Anmann and thou wilt find it there. Eoghan Mor's wife was Beara daughter
of Eibhear Mor son of Modhna, king of Castile, and she bore him a son and two
daughters; the son's name was Oilill Olom, and the two daughters' names
Scoithniamh and Coinneal. Here is the seancha's proof of this: 1.
Beara daughter of great Eibhear Moreover,
Conn Ceadchathach slew Mogh Nuadhat in his bed, having treacherously,
according to some seanchas, attacked him at early morning, as they were on
the point of engaging in battle against each other on Magh Leana. This king
of whom we are treating was called Conn Ceadchathach, from the hundreds of
battles he fought against the provincial kings of Ireland, as this stanza
sets forth:
Conn was treacherously slain by Tiobraide Tireach at Tara. |

6. The King of Tara [Cormac †253AD] gathered the men of Ireland against them, and did not grant them fair fight, so that they left his land to him. Then they went into Leinster to Fiachu Bacceda, son of Cathair, who drove the Hui Bairrche for them out of their land; and there the Dessi were settled until the time of Crimthann, son of Enna Censelach, son of Labraid, son of Bressal Belach, son of Fiachu Bacceda. 7. There chanced to be a famous warrior with the Hui Bairrchi, to wit, Eochu Guinech, son of Oengus, and he it was who drove them out of their land. Then Crimthann, son of Enna, sent the wandering host of the Dessi to Ard Ladrann [near Gorey, Co. Wexford] southward, whence the Land of the Wandering Host and the Folk of the Wandering Host have been so called ever since. 8...Bri, the druid, son of Bairchid," was in the
stronghold [Crimthand’s]... 15. At that
time the wife of Oengus son of Nadfraich, King of Cashel, died, and a
messenger was sent by him to the Dessi to woo the maiden Ethne, for she had
been with them in the west. Oengus promised her three wishes. These were her
three wishes, to wit, that the meadow land of Cashel from Luasc to Cashel be
given to her, for her mother’s kindred to dwell there, that the tribe which
they would choose should clear the land before them, which should then belong
to them; and that they should be as free as the three Eoganacht of Munster,
to wit, the Eoganacht of Raithlenn, the Eoganacht of Loch Lein and the
Eoganacht of the Hui Fidgenti together with the Hui Liathain. |

The Tripartite Life of Patrick
According
to the Tripartite Life of Patrick (ed. Stokes p.202-3), Patrick went to Húi
Fidgente, and Lommán (Loman or Lonán or Lonanus) son of Macc Eirc, made a feast
for Patrick in Mullach-Cae to the south of Carn-Feradaig.
Battle of Carn Conaill
In the
battle of Carn Conaill in 645/9AD, Diarmaid, son of Aedh Slaine was against
Guaire. Guire allies were slain amoung them Cuan, son of Enda, King of Munster,
and Cuan, son of Conall, chief of Ui Fidhgeinte; and Tolamhnach, chief of Ui
Liathain; and Guaire was routed from the battle field. The following poem was
written in the margin of the Lebor na hUidre version memorating Cuan and
Tolomnach:
Mac da certa cecinit
Gort maic Cu-cirb cruth rod-gab ni ada nach Munanchlár,
Ni fil Galand ro sói dath dirsan son

Rí da Chonchend, rí dá Chí docher hir-rói Cendfotai,

In the article,
Prull, in Cormac’s Glossary, Senchán Torpéist is shown as finding in the Isle
of Man a poetess of the Uí Fidgeinte, one ingen [daughter] Uí Dulsaine, who had
been lost to her people for many years (circa 649 AD). (Carney)
In the Banshenchus, there is the following:
The daughter of Mael Dun son of Aed (king of Muster of prosperous swathes) was Guas wife of Cuan son of Conall. Their lamentation was not harsh or sullen. The keen adventurous prince of the Ui Fidgenti followed the noble one through her spells.
Cain Adamnan
At the
Synod of Tara in 697AD, when Adamnan promulgated his law (Cain Adamnan) to

The gillie Loaf, you are in danger, You will not get
protection, The king of Leinster will
not save you, You will follow your
fellow. The old woman Glorious Morgan will save
you, Cerball and Cobthach will

Cellach son of Cerbaill The
gillie Fiery
Leinstermen will not take you from
Tairdelbach Tribute They
will not take you by perilous fight They
will not take you with them from contention The
old woman Ailill
Mór son of Dunlaing Dun won
seven battles over Conn’s Half won
seven other battles Over
Munster of the kings The
challenge of Munster from Carnsore to Cliu about
carrying you away the
challenge of Connaught from cold Slieve Aughty the
challenge of the men of Ireland at the same time If
the perfect king of Liamain should hear The
battle will be fought There
would be headless bodies If
it were fierce strong Brandubh My
confession to the King of Heaven To
the only son of the virgin Mary I
have not heard of a king in better shape Or
who liked music better I
have not heard of a king of better understanding than
Brandubh of the proud hostages nor
better to wage battle nor
for the surpression of tyranny. It
is to him spoke the king, Maolduin
with venomous cause Let
the king of Leinster go over the sea, or
let him bring hostages to Tara The
head that said that Maolduin
with venomous cause it
was Brandubh that cut it off, on
Tuesday on the plain of Allen. He
slew brave Ailill of Connaught, In
the plain north of Tara; He
slew Donchadh son of pure Niall, On
Wednesday above the plain of Carmem. The
hosts of Munster, great in deed, will
fall by the contest. Munstermen
and Leinstermen Will
encounter each other over one loaf. Meathmen,
Connaughtmen in front And
Ulstermen of the high diadems, The
hosts of Munster to the rivers Will
encounter each other over one loaf. The
men of Ireland from sea to sea, Without
contention and great pride Will
not take from Leinster If
they are thankful for one loaf. A. A gillie (servant) of the king
of Munster and an old woman of Leinster had this dispute at her home at the
bottom of Magh Dala. She was the hospitaller to the king of Leinster i.e.
Cearball son of Murican. A gillie of the king of Munster was billeted in her
house. The king of Munster to ascertain her permission. For the old woman was
contentious and stubborn. There was baking for the ploughmen, when the gillie
arrived in the woman’s house. The first loaf that was baked was given to the
gillie, he ate it, and the old woman did not know that the gillie was not
simply begging when he came. Another loaf, however, was being baked for the
ploughmen. And then the gillie said, woman, he said, make this loaf better
than the last loaf you made. Why do trouble yourself about that loaf, said the
old women, it is no businees of yours. It is then, said the gillie, for that
loaf just now was my first snack, and that loaf is my main portion, for I
have come by the King of Munster to be billeted. O indeed, said the old
woman, this loaf is protected from you, it is under the protection of the
King of Leinster. ‘Twas then the gillie said,
O loaf you are in danger &c. On that account the Leinstermen and the men
of Munster meet together, and three battles were fought between them. |

Let us proceed across Luachair hither, A journey which is fit for poets, To the cold and festive Claonghlais Of the green, irriguous, wooded land. The Ui-Conaill of the battalion of Munster, Multitudinous is the gathering, A great tribe, with whom it is not usual to contend, Are the battle-trooped host of the O’Coilens. O’Billraidhe who used to bestrow cows, Over Ui-Conaill of the field of Gabra, King of Truth of fair lands, The smooth dells of heavy fruit. Mac Innerigh, hero of gems, Over the mellow Corco Muicheat, A fine host who constantly ramify Like the white blossom of the branching apple tree. Corco Oiche of beautiful wood, A fair-surfaced territory of fresh inbhers, A fair land of best showers, Under the vigorous hero, O’Macass. O’Brega of the fair mansion obtained The cantred of Ui-Rossa of rich course; The hero of Caonraighe of fair kland Is O’Maolcallann of branches. The share of the noble Dal Cairbre Ebha, Of the kings of Caisel of white wattles, Lasting is his profit of the land, The brave pillar O’Cleirchin. Hereditary to O’Donnabhain of Dun Cuirc Is this land, as a land of encampment; To him, without tribute, belonged [the land] along the sluggish Maigh. And the plains down to the Sionainn… Eoganacht of the sunny field of Gabhra, Land of the sweetest, smooth-round apples, The gem of each female band of fame, To O’Cinnfhaeladh of red weapons [it belongs]. ... King of Ui-Liathain, hero of renown, Hardy divisions of the battalion of Munster, The head of the O Anamchadhas is its rightful chief, A host of thin-edged arms of best nobility. John O’Donovan translation |

are two references to Ui Anmchadha in the Topographical poems, one to

The heathen fled thence on every side, so that only three remained, namely, Loegaire and his queen and one of his household, and they feared greatly. And the queen, to wit, Angas daughter of Tassach son of Liathan, came to Patrick and said to him, "O just and mighty man, do not destroy the king. The king shall come to thee and shall do thy will, and shall kneel and believe in God." So Loegaire went and knelt to Patrick, and gave him a false peace. |
In the Banshenchus, there is the following:
Angias, daughter of clever Tassach son of blameless Liathan, was the guiding light of Loegaire. He was famous: the shepherd of wealthy Banba.
An ancient story quoted by O’Curry gives the origin of the name of the parish of Tradaree in County Clare. It is to the effect that Cas, from whom the Dal Cais derive their distinctive race name, was the son of Conall of “the swift steeds” who was contemporary with the monarch Crimthann, A.D. 379. Cas had twelve sons, and from these were descended the various Dalcassian tribes. The twelfth son was Lugaidh Delbaeth, or Lugaidh “the fire producer.” He had six sons, and one daughter whose name was Aeifé. The “fire producer” had received a large territory from his father, and in time gave his daughter in marriage to Trad, son of Tassach, who was a kingly chief and Druid, but one who owned little land. After some time Trad found himself the father of a numerous family and possessing only a small provision for their support. He prompted his wife to ask more land from her father. Lugaidh acceded to her request, and bestowed upon her husband the territory that he himself had got from his own father. From the name of the new owner the district was designated Tradraighe, a name which it has preserved ever since.

‘Óenach Colmaín may have been in the
Curragh of Kildare, being associated with horse-racing: Fidgenid…fecit equum
ligneum in Circio Colmáin hi lLiphu (Rawl. B 502); each crainn…a nÁenach
Colmán a Maig Life (Lec.). (“Fidgenid…made a wooden horse in the racecourse
of Colmán in Life”; “a wooden horse in Óenach Colmáin in Mag Life”)’
Edmund Hogan equates Oenach Life
with Oenach Colmáin in Mag Life and Oenach Clochair. Oenach
Colmáin was a burial place of the Munster and/or Leinster princes. Ó Murchadha
equates Oenach Life with Oenach Colmáin as well.

The battle of Carn Conaill was gained by Diarmaid, son of Aedh Slaine against
Guaire, wherein were slain the two Cuans, namely, Cuan, son of Enda, King of
Munster, and Cuan, son of Conall, chief of Ui Fidhgeinte; and Tolamhnach,
chief of Ui Liathain; and Guaire was routed from the battle field. Diarmaid,
on his way to this battle, went first through Cluain Mic Nois. The
congregation of St. Ciaran made supplication to God that he might return
safe, through the merits of their guarantee. After the king's return, he
granted Tuaim nEirc (i.e. Liath Manchain), with its sub divisions of land, as
altarsod, to God and to St. Ciaran; and he gave three maledictions (i.e.
curses) to that king whose people should take even a drink of water there.
Wherefore Diarmaid ordered his burial place at Cluain Mic Nois. |

The slaying of Ragallach, son of Uatu, king of Connacht i.e. by Mael Brigte
son of Mothlachán i.e. the Corco Cullu slew him. The
battle of Cairn Conaill fought on Whitsunday, where the two Cuans fell i.e.
Cuan son of Enda, king of Muman, and Cuan son of Cairill, king of the Ui
Fidhgente and Tolmnach, king of the Ui Liathain; and Guaire took flight, and
Diarmait son of Aedh Slaine was victor. It is on a Sunday that Diarmait went
to fight this battle, that is, through Cluain moccu Nóis and the congregation
of Ciaran and prayed for him that he might come safe for the sake of their
surety. When the king returned, he granted Doimnerc with its divisions today
called Liath Mancháin, as a sod of the altar of Ciarán, and imposed three
curses on the king of Mide if any of his people consumed as much as a drink
of water there, so that it was for this reason that Diarmait asked to be
buried in Cluain moccu Nóis. |

son of Amalgaid, son of nda, king of Munster, and Cuan, son of Conall, king
of Hui Fidgeinte, and Tolamnach, king of Hui Liathain. And Guaire fled, and
Diarmait, son of Aed Slaine, was victor. Now Diarmait had marched
to that battle through Clonmacnois. The community of Clonmacnois made
supplication to God that he might come back, safe by virtue (?) of their
guarantee. So after the return of the king he offered Tuaim n-Eirc Erc's
Mound with its subdivision of land Liath Manchain is its name to day as a sod
on altar to God and to saint Ciaran. And he bestowed three curses on the king
of Meath if any of his people should consume even a draught of water therein.
Wherefore Diarmait demanded to be buried in Clonmacnois |
