His wide knowledge of Irish history was placed at my service and made the way plain for me to follow. The valuable data on John O'Donnell of Baltimore and his descendants was given to me by Joseph Jenkins Lee, Esq., I record my very grateful thanks to both. E. THORNTON CooK London 1933 B PART I. THE O'DONNELLS OF TYRCONNELL THE O'DONNELLS OF TYRCONNELL HEN the' Age of the World was 3501 ' Milesius, a mighty warrior of renown, saw a green island from the top of a tall tower in Spain and chose the most stalwart from among his splendid band of thirty-two sons to conquer the distant land. They made the dangerous journey, vanquished the fairy race then in possession, and duly assumed sovereignty. Irish genealogy begins with this legendary settlement, and the four great race stems to which the leading families of Ireland converge are Eber, Ith, Ir and Eremon-the Children of Milesius. It is from Eremon, thirty-seventh in descent from Adam, that the O'Donnells claim ancestry, but it is not until the reign of Niall Naogheallach ( called alternatively Niall of the Nine Hostages and Niall of the Shining Deeds) High Monarch of Ireland in the 4th century, fifty generations later, that authentic history begins, while nearly six centuries divide Niall Naogheallach from Gilla­ christ, grandson of Donnell Mor, the first of the race t0 bear the family name.*1 The law of primogeniture was unknown in Ireland. Niall was a younger son and obtained his father's throne by force assisted by the eloquence of the hereditary bard. Having secured his position by seizing the sons of various rival claimants*2 Niall sent forth his fleets till 'the oceans foamed with his hostile oars, a.nd Brittany as well as Britain learnt to quake at his name ', then led his armie3 overseas. He exacted tribute from the conquered, saw to it that the C.tscendants of Eremon gained ascendancy over the Picts, and, in remembrance of the Mother of the Race*J, decreed that * 1 We may trust the pedigree of the O'Donnells' . • says Douglas Hyde ("The Literary History of Ireland"') than whom there can be no higher authority. *2 NoTE-Niall's brother took 50 hostages; upon his death these were buried alive standing upright in a great circle around his grave! *3 Scota, wife of l\'Iilesius; her grave is marked on the Ordnance Survey Map, Kerry ... 6'', Sheet 38. I THE O'DONNELLS OF TYRCONNELL Alba (Britain) should henceforward be known as Scotia Minor, as Ireland was then Scotia Major :- Mighty Niall the All-Glorious ! • • • • • • One hostage from each Irish Fifth He conquered by his victories ... Pledges of homage to his power From Alba came four hostages ! So sang the bards, but there was one among the two hundred captives brought back by the High Monarch, as the result of a famous marauding expedition, whose name was to live when that of Niall Naogheallach was forgotten except by students of Irish history. Born of 'pious and religious parents' this sixteen-year-old youth was handed over as the share of a minor chieftain, and tended his master's pigs for seven years. He was to re-appear in a succeeding reign as 'Patrick the Apostle '. By the capture of this youth the name of the ancestral head ef the O'Donnell line is linked with the first of the famous ' wonder working three '-St Patrick, St Brigid and St Columba-two of whom, like the O'Donnells were of Eremonian descent.*1 After a turbulent reign of twenty-seven years Niall of the Nine Hos-~ tages was slain (A.D. 406) by an arrow from the bow of an hereditary enemy.. Of his sixteen sons eight died withou• ~ . -,1,~ , four settled in Meath wher :; their descendants became kr.:0«11 ,. -:. ::. .:.e : :-'-'-~hern Ui Neill (' the four tribes of Tara ') and four more--t:.L-~ :-.:we ~-0~-: ~. :.. purtant of whom were Eoghan (Owen), and Conall Gulban- -became th~ ancestors of the Ui Neill of Ulster. Over forty of Niall's descendants are numbered in the catalogue of saints, and nearly all the High Kings or overlords of Ireland, frum the 5th to the I 2th century, were of the Ui Neill. The O'Neills and O'Donnells (known earlier as the Kinel-Eoghain and Kinel-Conaill) with their correlatives-the septs or tribes descended from the sons of Niall-remained to the last the most powerful clans in Ireland, and their deeds are woven into the framework of Irish history. *1St. Brigid as well as St. Columba according to O'Mahony's translating of Keating's " History of Ireland " (p. 426). z .·• (: 't.'_.; ~.·. o 'i, Hr w,:~r,I{j/C~~':(.p: -~W..' / ,._:r~ ~~- ~ .~~~ '·:1' 11 17 1 . , ~. :·~: ' . · • ' i L:(i ..'~~o · · • · ..

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 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).

Due to the Ancient Pictish lineage of the MacTavishes, they are not connected nor are they related to the later Teutonic Thomsons of the Scottish Lowlands and Borders. 1. Conall Gulban – King of Tir Connaill (Tyr Connall or Tir Chonall), of whom the Cenél Conaill descended from Conn of the Hundred Battles (not Niall of the Nine Hostages or the dynastic Ui Neills who later conquered much of the north of Ireland). The ancestry of these northern tribes and their kings is proclaimed in the Chronicon Scotorum as belonging to the Sil Cuinn (Race of Conn), not Ui Neill. The Ui Neill link appears as a synthetic fabrication of the dynastic Ui Neill historians of the 13 th century, who rewrote parts of the Irish annals to their advantage. The Chronicon Scotorum , it seems had been overlooked and to have retained its original nature. Conal Gulban’s kindred, the Cenél Conaill, and its branches are Picts (Irish Cruithne), and not Celtic/Gaels related to Niall of the Nine Hostages (although some consider the Picts a Celtic people).

    LYNCH RECORD CONTAINING BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF MEN OF THE NAME, LYNCH 16th TO 20th CENTURY TOGETHER WITH INFORMATION REGARD­ ING THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME AND TOPOGRAPHICAL POEMS SHOWING THE TERRITORIES POSSESSED BY SOME BRANCHES OF THE LYNCH FAMILY Compiled by ELIZABETH C. LYNCH WILLIAM J. HIRTEN Co., !Ne. 25 Barclay St., New York N. Y. Copyright, 1925 by William J. Hirten Co. Inc. FOREWORD One of the strange facts about Irish History is that the pedigrees of almost every well known Irish name is absolutely established from the early centuries of the Christian era to the Sixteenth or Seventeenth Cen­ tury. Long before many European countries, emerged from barbarism, the old Irish Clans kept their pedi­ grees with an exactitude and completeness that neces­ sarily establishes their correctness since they are i11.t~r:­ woven by thousands of alliances. But, pedigrees ~;re not merely kept as a matter of pride; a far more sub­ stantial reason was that succession was determined by relationship and any member of the Clan had a right to succeed to the headship of the Clan on proof of kinship. For several hundred years after the Norman-French secured a foothold in Ireland, by a species of infil­ tration; these pedigrees were maintained. Henry VIII inaugurated a new policy. That monarch designed to break the continuity of the Irish race either by ab­ sorption or destruction of the Clans. This policy succeeded to such an extent that continuity of Irish pedigrees became broken. with few exceptions. Today there are many descendants of these old Irish Clans in America.
