As for the eldest of these, Hugh Roe, immediately after hisbirth hc was given to be fostered and brought up to the high-born nobles of the tribe of Conall Gulban, son of Niall, and it was not these alone that got him to rear and foster,2 but some of the tribe of Eoghan, son of Niall, took him, for they were sure that something would ensue through him if he reachcd puberty. 3 Then he continued to grow and increase in comcliness and urbanity, tact and eloquence, wisdom and knowledge, goodly size and noble deeds, so that his name and fame spread throughout the five pro- vinces 4 of Erin among the English 5 and the Irish, 6 even beforc he passed the agc of boyhood and completed his fifteenth year.

It was told thcm too that prophcts and people with foreknowledge and prcdictors of futurity had announced that there would come one likc him who would cause disturbance among thcm and in the island of Eire also, as Columlvillc, 1 son of Fcidhlimidh, thc famous holy prophet of thc Cincl Conaill, a man too full of gracc and of the gifts of the Holy Ghost, promised whcrc hc said : There will come a man glorious, pure, exalted, Who will cause mournful weeping in evcry tcrritory ; He will be the god-like princc, And hc will be king for nine years. Some say it was Caillin of Fenagh who made the prophecy. Moreover, these same English were afraid thatheand the Earl O'Xeill, 2 i.e., Hugh, son of Ferdoragh, son of Conn Bacach, son of Conn, would join in alliance and friendship with each other against them, for the Earl was much attached to his parents for a long time ; besides, O'Donnell's daughter, named Joan, the sister of Hugh Roe, of whom we have made mention, was Earl O'NeilPs spouse and first wife. The O'Neill,3 who was inaugurated chief of the Cinel Eoghain some 4 time before, and who had the title then, i.e., Turlough Luineach, son of Niall Connallach, son of Art, son of Conn, son of Henry, son of Eoghan, was submissive to the English at that time, and he was not able to govern his principality owing to his weakness and infirmity, and he was ever accusing and complaining of thc Earl O'Neill to the Lord Justice 5 and thc Council through fear of being deposed by him, since he was in the flood of his prosperity and (in the prime) of life then, and he was a shield of pro- tection and defence to his tribe. Wherefore the English of Dublin G conceived suspicion and an evil opinion of him (though he was obedient to them up to that) on account of this friendship of his with the Cincl Conaill, and they reflectcd that thc capture of Hugh Roe would enablc thcm to 4 6 T.

Its principle aim is to engage with recent revisionist accounts of the various dynasties within the Uí Néill; these necessitate a radical reappraisal of our understanding of their origins and genesis as a dynastic confederacy, as well as the geo-political landsape of the central midlands. Consequently, this paper argues that there is a pressing need to address such issues via more focused analyses of local kingdoms and political landscapes. Holistic understandings of polities like Luigne Breg are fundamental to framing new analyses of the genesis of the Uí Néill based upon interdisciplinary assessments of landscape, archaeology and documentary sources. In the latter part of the paper, an attempt is made to to initiate a wider discussion regarding the nature of kingdoms and collective identities in early medieval Ireland in relation to other other regions of northwestern Europe.

    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

    The Connachta of Táin Bó Cúailnge

    Studia Celtica Posnaniensia, Vol 2 (1), 2017 doi: 10.1515/scp-2017-0003 THE CONNACHTA OF TÁIN BÓ CÚAILNGE ROMANAS BULATOVAS National University of Ireland, Maynooth ABSTRACT Advance in archaeology in the latter half of the 20th century rekindled interest in Táin Bó Cúailnge as a historical source and put the question of real-life identities of its main protagonists back on agenda. Despite the existing orthodoxy that the saga reflects fifth-century warfare between the southern Uí Néill and the Ulaid, some researchers continue questioning the role of the southern Uí Néill as well as the dates assigned to the events of the tale. In this article it is argued that the Connachta of the saga were more likely to be the northern Uí Néill. Furthermore, genealogical link between the two branches of the Uí Néill is put in doubt. Finally, it is suggested that the events of the Táin took place almost 200 years later than commonly believed. Keywords: The cattle-raid of Cooley, the Uí Néill dynasty, early medieval Ireland. 1.1. Preliminary Remarks Since T. F. O’Rahilly’s mythological approach had fallen out of favour, it became received wisdom that the Táin contains a genuine memory of warfare between Connaught and Ulster. However, researchers rarely agree which of the finer details preserved in the saga are historically accurate, most importantly the timeframe of the events the text refers to and the identities of warring factions. In a broad survey of current consensus concerning the antiquity of the Táin Ruairí Ó hUiginn presented several competing schools of thought (Ó hUiginn 1992: 32-33).

He was born into a Gaelic ecclesiastical family in Fermanagh. His kin held the territory of *Termon Magrath which included St. Patrick’s Purgatory on Lough Derg. Meiler became a Franciscan friar and in October 1565 he was appointed bishop of Down and Connor by the Pope. Soon afterwards, however, he was captured by the English, took the oath of supremacy and conformed to Protestantism. Even though the exact circumstances of his conversion remain unknown, it is clear that Queen Elizabeth had enough faith in Magrath to appoint him bishop of Clogher in 1570 and promote him to the archbishopric of Cashel five months later. During his long clerical career he also received appointments to the bishoprics of Waterford and Lismore and Killala and Achonry. However, this brief sketch of Magrath’s life does little justice to a man who became an extremely influential political figure in the latter years of Elizabeth’s reign.
