SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT KBAU ON THK ITXH DAY OF MARCH, 1859. The Council regret being obliged to announce the demise of three of your most indefatigable members during the past year—namely, the Rev. D. A. O'Sidlivan, P.P., Enniskean, Co. Cork, the Rev. Matthew Kelly, D.D., St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, and Dr. Robert Cane of Kilkenny. The CouncU cannot but regret the unavoidable delay of your Publications in their hands, but matters have now been so arranged, that their successors in office wUl henceforth have no difficulty in this respect. The thanks of the Ossianic Society are due to His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, for his courtesy in allowing them to collate one of their forthcoming Publications with the original in the Book of Lismore, the property of His Grace ; and also to the President and Council of the Royal Irish Academy, for the facility afforded to the Editor of the forthcoming Volume (IV.) in collating his proofs with the manuscripts in their large and valuable collection. SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT READ ON THB 17TH VAX OF MAJttCH, 1860. Thk Council of the Ossianic Society have much pleasure in stating that their efforts in the cause of our country's ancient literature have been warmly ap- preciated by the public and the press. This is visible in the annually increasing number of Members, many of them eminent in the various paths of know ledge, enrolled upon the Society's list. At the last Annual Report of the Coimcil, the Societj' numbered 659 Members—at present it is composed of 746. To aid and extend the good work, a kindred Society has lately been established in New York, with a Council composed of Irish scholars, which has already remitted a sum of £8 for our Transactions of the past years. We congratulate our brethren in the United States upon their energy and patriotism. The works of the Ossianic Society are well calculated to become popular. Less dry than strictly historical books, they throw open the Portals of the Past to the reader, and bring him among the majestic forests of Ancient Erinn —there to behold the enchantments of Fairy-power, to accompany Finn and the Fianna in the chase and the battle-raid, to admire the chivalry of Oscar, the "gold deeded," the beau-ideal of magnanimity, and to list to the melodious harps and sweet lays of Oisin and the later bards. The fifth volume of the Society's Transactions is already nigh to publication, and will prove to be one of the most interesting of Irish works. It is entitled ]n)ceAcc t)A Ctioit)-óíi)tt)e—" The Proceedings of the Great Bardic Institu- tion," and describes their tour through Erinn. It is taken from a vellum ma- nuscript of the fourteenth century (the book of Mac Carthaigh Riabhach), and appears under the Editorship of Professor Connellan. The power of the bards—their use and abuse thereof, are vividly portrayed, the attributes of the Chief Bard and his School enumerated, and his lays oif praise and satire recorded. Thus, we are yearly laying before the country works which must be of great value to the future historians of Progress in this Island ; showing, as they do, the literary, warlike, and domestic customs of the old inhabitants. Unveiling the characteristics and deeds of Erinn and of her representative men during the daj's of heathenry and the primal Christian ages ; do they not also open to our poets a treasury more vast and varied than the Mabinogion of Wales and those other Celtic legends of Brittany coidd exhibit ; and yet from these has the Poet Laureate elaborated his celebrated " Idylls of the King." It is desirable that all members who are in arrear should discharge the same before the publication of the present book, else their names shall be struck off the rolls of the Society.

  • The Antiphonary of Bangor and Its Musical Implications
    The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications by Helen Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Helen Patterson 2013 The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications Helen Patterson Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the hymns of the Antiphonary of Bangor (AB) (Antiphonarium Benchorense, Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 5 inf.) and considers its musical implications in medieval Ireland. Neither an antiphonary in the true sense, with chants and verses for the Office, nor a book with the complete texts for the liturgy, the AB is a unique Irish manuscript. Dated from the late seventh-century, the AB is a collection of Latin hymns, prayers and texts attributed to the monastic community of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Given the scarcity of information pertaining to music in early Ireland, the AB is invaluable for its literary insights. Studied by liturgical, medieval, and Celtic scholars, and acknowledged as one of the few surviving sources of the Irish church, the manuscript reflects the influence of the wider Christian world. The hymns in particular show that this form of poetical expression was significant in early Christian Ireland and have made a contribution to the corpus of Latin literature. Prompted by an earlier hypothesis that the AB was a type of choirbook, the chapters move from these texts to consider the monastery of Bangor and the cultural context from which the manuscript emerges. As the Irish peregrini are known to have had an impact on the continent, and the AB was recovered in ii Bobbio, Italy, it is important to recognize the hymns not only in terms of monastic development, but what they reveal about music.

  • Intermarriage and Other Families This Page Shows the Interconnection
    Intermarriage and Other Families This page shows the interconnection between the Townsend/Townshend family and some of the thirty-five families with whom there were several marriages between 1700 and 1900. It also gives a brief historical background about those families. Names shown in italics indicate that the family shown is connected with the Townsend/Townshend elsewhere. Baldwin The Baldwin family in Co Cork traces its origins to William Baldwin who was a ranger in the royal forests in Shropshire. He married Elinor, daughter of Sir Edward Herbert of Powys and went to Ireland in the late 16th century. His two sons settled in the Bandon area; the eldest brother, Walter, acquired land at Curravordy (Mount Pleasant) and Garrancoonig (Mossgrove) and the youngest, Thomas, purchased land at Lisnagat (Lissarda) adjacent to Curravordy. Walter’s son, also called Walter, was a Cromwellian soldier and it is through his son Herbert that the Baldwin family in Co Cork derives.

  • Suibne Mac Cináeda from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    11/4/2015 4:33 PM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suibne_mac_Cináeda Suibne mac Cináeda From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Suibne mac Cináeda (died 1034),[2] also known as Suibne mac Cinaeda,[3] Suibne mac Cinaedh,[4] and Suibhne mac Cináeda,[5][note 1] was an Suibne mac Cináeda eleventh-century ruler of the Gall Gaidheil, a population of mixed King of the Gall Gaidheil Scandinavian and Gaelic ethnicity. There is little known of Suibne, as he is only attested in three sources that record the year of his death. He seems to have ruled in a region where Gall Gaidheil are known to have dwelt: either the Hebrides, the Firth of Clyde region, or somewhere along the south- Suibne's name as it appears on folio 16v of Oxford western coast of Scotland from the firth southwards into Galloway. Bodleian Library MS Rawlinson B 488 (the Annals of Tigernach).[1] Suibne's patronym, meaning "son of Cináed", could be evidence that he was a Died 1034 brother of the reigning Máel Coluim mac Cináeda, King of Scotland, and thus a member of the royal Alpínid dynasty. Suibne's career appears to have Dynasty possibly Alpínid dynasty coincided with an expansion of the Gall Gaidheil along the south-west coast Father possibly Cináed mac Maíl Choluim of what is today Scotland. This extension of power may have partially contributed to the destruction of the Kingdom of Strathclyde, an embattled realm which then faced aggressions from Dublin Vikings, Northumbrians, and Scots as well. The circumstances of Suibne's death are unknown, although one possibility could be that he was caught up in the vicious dynastic-strife endured by the Alpínids.

  • CROWLEY CLAN NEWSLETTER March 2015 Compiled by Marian Crowley Chamberlain
    CROWLEY CLAN NEWSLETTER March 2015 compiled by Marian Crowley Chamberlain Page 1 of 8 Announcing The Companionate of Clann Ui Chruadhlaoich We are announcing the launch of the Companionate of the Clan. The Companionate of Clann Ui Chruadhlaoich is an honour bestowed on clansmen and non clansmen who have demonstrated exceptional and continued support to the traditional Brehon and Gaelic culture of Ireland through their contribution to the life of Clann Ui Chruadhlaoich, protecting, enriching and promoting its patrimony. Many clans and Gaelic Houses have formed their respective Companionate, just to name a few: O'Cahan, O'Neil Clanaboy, O'Carroll, and O'Connor. As independent private organisations it is the prerogative of Irish clans and Gaelic houses to form such companionate. Foundation of the Companionate It is an integral part of and within the community of Clann Ui Chruadhlaoich. It is endorsed and supported by the Clan Council or Derbhfine, who will propose nominees to the Companionate. The Companionate is not a knighthood, nor does it claim to any historical continuity, and it bears no relationship to any existing or past order of knighthood. It is a recognition which is granted by a private organization, our clan, Clann Ui Chrudadhlaoich. The design of the Companionate Badge is the property of the clan through the Clan Council and shall never be reproduced other than by the Council itself. Governance The Companionate shall be headed by a Chancellery composed of a Chancellor and two Vice Chancellors. The Chancellor and the two Vice Chancellors shall be elected for a term of three years, renewable, by the Clan Council.

  • Munster and Irish Kingship in 10Th-12Th Centuries. Power Representation
    Munster and Irish kingship in 10th-12th centuries. Power representation 1. Introduction Medieval Ireland is known for a great number of kings - in fact there were probably no less than 150 kings in the country at any given date between the fifth and twelfth century1 . Since the total population was probably well under half a million, this multiplicity of royalty is all the more remarkable. Of course, all of them were of different types. There were in general: rí tuaithe – the king of single tuath or tribe, rí tuath or rui ri (great king) was the king of several tribes, but commonly he was called according to the name of territory or the name of ruling dynasty branch (for example, rí Iarluachra, which means the king of the territories to the west of Luachra mountains); rí coicid (king of fifth, i.e. of one of the provinces into which Ireland was traditionally divided) or ard-ri of province (ard-ri Ulad, ard-ri Connacht, ard-ri Laigen), and, at once, ard-ri or ríg Érenn – high-king of Ireland2. In spite of the concept of the high-kingship in Ireland, there is no evidence about centralized monarchy before the king Brian Boru from the Munster’s dynasty Dál Cais. Irish provinces and their kings were independent from each other and were mostly connected with the dynastic relations. From the beginning of early Middle Age till the Norman invasion there were two powerful ruling dynasties in Ireland: Uí Néill in the central and north part and Eóganachta dynasty (after them Dál Cais), in the south, in Munster.
