Stories from Early Irish History
1 ^EUNIVERJ//, ^:IOS- =s & oo 30 r>ETRr>p'S LAMENT. A Land of Heroes Stories from Early Irish History BY W. LORCAN O'BYRNE WITH SIX ILLUSTRATIONS BY JOHN E. BACON BLACKIE AND SON LIMITED LONDON GLASGOW AND DUBLIN n.-a INTEODUCTION. Who the authors of these Tales were is unknown. It is generally accepted that what we now possess is the growth of family or tribal histories, which, from being transmitted down, from generation to generation, give us fair accounts of actual events. The Tales that are here given are only a few out of very many hundreds embedded in the vast quantity of Old Gaelic manuscripts hidden away in the libraries of nearly all the countries of Europe, as well as those that are treasured in the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College, Dublin. An idea of the extent of these manuscripts may be gained by the statement of one, who perhaps had the fullest knowledge of them the late Professor O'Curry, in which he says that the portion of them (so far as they have been examined) relating to His- torical Tales would extend to upwards of 4000 pages of large size. This great mass is nearly all untrans- lated, but all the Tales that are given in this volume have already appeared in English, either in The Publications of the Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language] the poetical versions of The IV A LAND OF HEROES. Foray of Queen Meave, by Aubrey de Vere; Deirdre', by Dr. Robert Joyce; The Lays of the Western Gael, and The Lays of the Red Branch, by Sir Samuel Ferguson; or in the prose collection by Dr. -

Hunting for the Genetic Legacy of Brian Boru in Irish Historical Sources
Hunting for the genetic legacy of Brian Boru in Irish historical sources. Catherine Swift, Mary Immaculate College Having won an English chariot from an Italian gentleman at play, my uncle had our arms painted on the panels in a more splendid way than ever (surmounted, as we were descended from the ancient kings) with an Irish crown of the most splendid size and gilding. I had this crown in lieu of a coronet engraved on a large amethyst signet-ring worn on my forefinger; and I don’t mind confessing that I used to say the jewel had been in my family for several thousand years, having originally belonged to my direct ancestor, his late Majesty, King Brian Boru or Barry. I warrant the legends of the Heralds’ College are not more authentic than mine was.1 In his travels in Ireland in 1842, Thackeray followed the course of the Shannon up river from Tarbert to Limerick and then travelled through Clare to Galway, visiting “a decent little library” in Ennis where he bought “six volumes of works strictly Irish”. As he describes them subsequently, “these yellow-covered books are prepared for the people chiefly” and included tales of a highwayman entitled Adventures of Mr James Freeny, legends in Hibernian Tales2 and “the lamentable tragedy of the ‘Battle of Aughrim’ writ in the most doleful Anglo-Irish verse.” He does not refer explicitly in his Irish Sketchbook to Brian Boru but it seems fair to assume that his description of Barry Lyndon’s ancestry was based, at least in part, on stories he had heard when travelling through Thomond or, perhaps, even elsewhere in Ireland. -

Kingship, Lordship, and Resistance: a Study of Power in Eleventh- and Twelfth-Century Ireland
Trinity College, Dublin School of Histories and Humanities Department of History Kingship, lordship, and resistance: a study of power in eleventh- and twelfth-century Ireland Ronan Joseph Mulhaire Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (2020) Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. _______________________ RONAN MULHAIRE 2 Summary This thesis starts from the premise that historians of medieval Ireland have interpreted ‘power’ in a very narrow way. As chapter one illustrates, through a review of the historiography of Irish kingship, the discussion of ‘power’ has, hitherto, amounted to a conversation about the ways in which the power of the greater Irish kings grew over the course of the eleventh and twelfth centuries (at the expense of the lesser kings). Engaging with the rich corpus of international literature on power, as is done in chapter one, reveals the sheer complexity and vicissitudes of ‘power’ as a concept. Many writers and thinkers on the subject have identified resistance as a means through which to view power relations, and it is along these lines that the rest of the thesis runs. Chapters three and four are concerned with the subject of resistance; with regicide and revolt, respectively. Both mine the Irish annals. -
The Formation of Gaelic Surnames in Ireland: Choosing the Eponyms
The Formation of Gaelic Surnames in Ireland: Choosing the Eponyms Diarmuid Ó Murchadha Locus Project, University College, Cork Introduction By Mac and O you’ll always know true Irishmen they say, But if they lack both O and Mac, no Irishmen are they. Nowadays, this old couplet would be labelled racist, or at least politically incorrect. And even in the strict sense of Gaelic origin, it ignores such adjectival surnames as Caomhánach (Kavanagh), Cinnsealach (Kinsella), Déiseach (Deasy), etc. It does, however, point up the fact that the majority of Irish family names were formed by putting either O or Mac before a personal name. The use of mac or son as a distinguishing mark is a very old and a very widespread one. We need only think of Thomson, Dickson, Harrison, and going back to Biblical times, Ham son of Japhet, Simon bar Jonah, and so on. But the employment of Ua or Ó (grandson— sometimes granddaughter) in the formulation of surnames appears to be peculiar to Gaelic Ireland where it became the dominating formula. The aim of this paper is to explore the development of what is arguably the earliest surname system in western Europe. When the Anglo-Normans arrived in Ireland in the late twelfth century, the inhabitants there had been using surnames for over a century and a half, while the newcomers were still designating themselves as Gerald of Wales, Milo of Cogan, Meiler son of Henry, Maurice son of Gerald. That Maurice’s father, incidentally, Gerald, constable of Windsor, was the one sent in 1102 to ask Muirchertach (‘Murcard, king of Ireland’) to give his This is the text of a paper given to the Society for Name Studies in Britain and Ireland at its annual conference in St Patrick's College, Maynooth, on 18 April 1998. -

A Sixteenth Century Bardic Poem Composed for Seán Mac Conmara, Lord of West Clann Chuiléin1
A sixteenth century bardic poem composed for Seán Mac Conmara, Lord of West Clann Chuiléin1 The corpus of bardic poetry that has survived the collapse of the Gaelic order consists of some two thousand poems, now catalogued as part of the Trinity College initiative known as the Irish Bardic Poetry Database.2 Irish bardic poems are unique in historical sweep and purpose and also their discipline in terms of complexity of composition and regulated metre. Medieval and early modern Ireland was a divided polity where Gaelic lordships existed alongside the palatinate territories of Anglo-Irish lords, and where a gradation of ‘Gaelicisation’ penetrated deep into the latter territories. This resulted in a mixed culture that appreciated – and used – Gaelic concepts of law, kinship and literature.3 In Gaelic regions, it was the secular hereditary bardic families that ran schools of history and poetry and sought the patronage of the ruling lineages. In a society where lineage and status were important qualifiers for land and power, the preoccupation with poetry crafted to assert one’s lineage rights over subordinate vassal-septs was an important reason why patronage of bardic families was an essential requisite of any ambitious Gaelic lord. This paper concentrates on the late sixteenth century bardic poem Créd fá seachnaim síol Aodha? composed by Domhnall Ó Maoilchonaire for his patron Seán Mac Conmara, Lord of West Clann Chuiléin. It was possibly written as an inauguration ode in the early 1570s for Seán. The Mac Conmara of West Clann Chuiléin were the lineal descendants of the Uí Chaisín kings of east Clare and had their principal residence at Dangan (Daingean Uí Bhigín) tower-house north-east of Quin village.4 This paper will give an overview of the role of bardic poetry in late medieval Ireland as well as glean information on the bardic families settled in Thomond. -
Celtica 29 ©Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies HUMFREY
HUMFREY WANLEY, BISHOP JOHN O’BRIEN, AND THE COLOPHONS OF MAEL BRIGTE’S GOSPELS ABSTRACT Mael Brigte’s scribal colophons in BL MS Harley 1802 allow the writing to be dated to 1138 in Armagh. This was recognized in 1713 by Humfrey Wanley, whose study of the manuscript was remarkable in its time. It was also worked out by Bishop O’Brien, who saw the manuscript in the British Museum in 1767. Wanley relied on manuscripts from James Ware’s collection, in his day owned by the Hon. James Brydges. O’Brien took his chronology from the annals compiled for him by Fr John Connery and known as the Dublin Annals of Inisfallen. His own copy is now TCD MS 1281, and a high proportion of the sources for the compilation is represented by MSS 1281 and 1292. The first colophon in particu- lar is more than evidence of date, however: it is testimony to the view from the primatial see on the killing of the devout king of all Ireland, Cormac Mac Carthaig. he Gospels of Mael Brigte, now BL MS Harley 1802, came to the notice Tof scholars at an early date. A small book, handsomely written in a fluent Insular hand of the twelfth century, it has commanded attention for its text of the gospels, its extensive Latin gloss, especially on St Matthew, its citing an Irish commentator Man(chanus), its interlace initials and evangelist symbols, and its colophons, marginalia, and poems in Irish.1 In its old text and its irregular quiring, it is in many ways a throwback to earlier days of manuscript production, a reflection of conservatism in Ireland, and yet a product of its time. -
