Notes for LABHRADH MACMOROUGH:

MacMOROUGH - Kings of Leinster; and Chiefs of "Clan Moroghoe".

Labhradh, son of Breasal Bealach, the second Christian King of Leinster. The ancestor of MacMuircha; anglicised MacMorough, MacMorrow and Morrow.

The ancient kings of Leinster had fortresses or royal residences at Dinnrigh, near the river Barrow, between Carlow and Leighlin; at Naas, in Kildare; and in aftertimes at the city of Ferns in Wexford, which was their capital; and also at Old Ross in Wexford; and at Ballymoon in Carlow.

The MacMoroughs were inaugurated as kings of Leinster at a place called Cnoe-an-Bhogha, attended by O'Nolan, who was the King's Marshall, and Chief of Forth in Carlow; by O'Doran, Chief Brehon of Leinster; and by MacKeogh, his Chief Bard; and the MacMoroughs maintained their independence, and held the title of "Kings of Leinster, " with large possessions in Wexford and Carlow down to the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.

The Hy-Cavanagh or O'Cavanaghs were chiefs of the ancient territory which now comprises the barony of Idrome East, in the county of Carlow; and in modern times became the representatives of the MacMoroughs, Kings of Leinster. (Irish Pedigrees or The Origin and Stem of The Irish Nation by James O'Hart published in 1892 by James Duffy & Co. Ltd. Dublin).

5. DUNLANG4 O'TOOLE-NO.1 (ENNA NIADH3, BREASAL BEALACH2, FIACHA BAICHEDA1) was born in Ireland, and died Deceased in Ireland. He married CUACH, daughter of COELUB and COEMELL?. She was born 460 in Ireland, and died 500 in Ireland.

Notes for DUNLANG O'TOOLE-NO.1:

Dunlong or Dunlang, Son of Enna Niadh. This Dunlong slew the Royal Maidens at the Claenfert of Tara, in revenge of which twelve Leinster Princes were slain, and Boromha tribute exacted. (Irish Pedigrees or The Origin and Stem of The Irish Nation by James O'Hart published in 1892 by James Duffy & Co. Ltd. Dublin).

Notes for CUACH:

Cuach, daughter of Coulub, etc., of the Ui Bairrche of Mach Ailbe, was mother of Dunlang's three sons: Illann, Ailill, Eochaid. Hence was said "Cuach's three leaps in Gabair" each time she bore one of the afforesaid sons. Three forts were given her after them viz.: Magen (Daingen) Garbain, Achad Dairig, Tilach Ui mBlait. She granted those three forts to her brother, Coeman Santlethan (Airne). These sites can no longer be identified but were in Gabair.

Cuach's family may be the same as the "hU Cellaig do hUib Briuin doib, hU (C)ellaig i mmaigh o chenel nUcha la hI Bairrche." It is worth noting that the Ui Bairrchi and the Ui Dunlainge were not far from the district where tradition placed Palladius' mission and the first landing of St. Patrick. The story of Ciaram of Saighir asserts there were Christians in Ossory before Patrick. Cuach and Coeman may represent these earliest converts. Her sons apparently were not baptized till middle life.

ii. FELIM DOWLING, b. Ireland; d. Deceased, Ireland.

Notes for FELIM DOWLING:

DOWLING - Chiefs in the County Wicklow and Queen's County.

Felim, son of Eanna Ceannsalach. Brother of Crimthan Cass and ancestor of O'Dublhaoidh, Lords of Fertullugh in the County of Westmeath.

Anglicised as Dooley, Dowley, Doolan, Dullen, Dolen and Dowling.

O'Dubhlaoidh: Before the English invasion of Ireland the family O'Dubhlaoidh was driven from 'Feara Tulagh' (i.e. Viri Collium), now in the Barony of Fertullagh in the County of Westmeath by the family O'Melaghlin and they settled in Ely O'Carroll. The O'Dowling (or O'Dunlaing) portion of the family were Chiefs in the County of Wicklow and in the Queen's County. -Source: O'Donovan. (Irish Pedigrees or The Origin and Stem of The Irish Nation by James O'Hart published in 1892 by James Duffy & Co. Ltd. Dublin).

Originally, Leinster stretched northwards to the Boyne but the land between it and the Liffey was lost to the advancing Ui Neill. The heartland of historic Leinster was the vale of the Liffey, and the valleys of the Barrow and the Slaney. The great dynasties, the winners, were in the plains and river valleys; the losers were on the eastern coastal strip, the Wicklow highlands, and the north-western boglands. In the eighth century Leinster was ruled by the Ui Dunlainge, a group of dynasties settled in the vale of the Liffey and in the plains of Kildare. They were new men: the annals and genealogies show that other groups-whom they had pushed out into the badlands-had held kingship before them. The Ui Dunlainge allied themselves closely with the great church of Kildare in a mutual profit venture. They had other rivals to the south of them: Ui Chennselaig, who had threatened the vale of the Liffey in the seventh century-but were foiled and pushed south, where they carved out an important kingdom for themselves in association with Ferns and a number of other monasteries. ( The Oxford Illustrated History of Ireland edited by R F Foster - Oxford University Press 1989).

"Ui" means descendants of. This is a plural form (also often shown as 'Hy') and denotes the clan, sept or whole body of descendants.

Notes for FAELAN:

Frequently called "foster-son of Coemgen" of Glendalough. Thereby hangs a tale which is found in the Lives of St. Coemgen and also of St. Berach, a Connaught man. He has no connection whatsoever to do with the Ui Dunlainge. He is represented as on a visit to Coemgen when the events in the story took place. Both Lives narrate that Faelan was placed as a small child under Coemgen's protection against evil spirits, or against the hate of a step-mother, Cainech. They both describe attempts on Faelan's life by witchcraft and the death of the wicked step-mother. The story might well be pure imagination, but the facts in the genealogies suggest a foundation of truth. Feidhelm must have died circa 570-574 as Colman had another wife, Cummine, before his death in 576. Faelan, judging by the date of his own death, can only have been a baby at the time. It would have been natural for Colman, seeing his wife's jealousy, to send the child, not merely to a foster-father of the Ui Dunlainge, but to a great saint living in the territory of Feidhelm's own family. This was a double protection. The danger must have been very serious. It evidently impressed the public mind as the compilers of St. Berech's Life included it as a principal item of his visit to Coemgen. In the story the step-mother, Cainech, perishes at Coemgen's command. In the genealogies of our text she is "Cumne" or "Cummine" and lives to marry again. This did not point so good a moral and doubtless the compiler of Coemgen's Life felt bound to improve on it. This however, does not alter the fact that from two sources we can construct an incident of Ui Dunlainge history. - Women of the Ui Dunlainge, Margaret E Dobbs.
