Conchobar Maenmaige Ua cellaigh

Conchobar Maenmaige Ua Cellaigh , 40 -й король Uí Maine и 7 -й начальник имени , умер в 1180 году.

Происхождение

Конхобар Маенмайг, во всех источниках, согласился быть королем в течение сорока лет, поэтому, похоже, он сменил Тадхг Уа Куллай где -то после его похищения армией из Мюнстера в 1145 году. Его преемственность означала окончание краткой независимости и покрова. Uí Maine и его династия отныне будут ограничены их собственной родиной.

Конхобар во всех генеалогиях изложено как сын Диармииды, чье немедленный спуск неопределен, но дается как сын или внук Тадхг Мор Уа Коллай , который был убит в битве при Клонтарфе в 1014 году. Однако это может на самом деле означать что он был сыном или внуком тадхга, который был похищен в 1145 году.

Церковная работа

Джон О'Донован говорит о нем, что «он построил церковь О'Келли в Clonmacnoise , в 1167 году… и в некоторых из родословных заявлено, что построили двенадцать церквей на территории Моенмоя Маенмайг ». Его эпитет , вероятно, относится к тому, что он поощрял или, по крайней мере, поднятый в этом районе, который сосредоточен на Лафреа .

References in the Annals

Conchobar and Uí Maine are mentioned infrequently in the annals, reflecting the kingdom's subordinate status within the kingdom of Connacht. Some references include the following:

1145:The men of Munster proceeded with an army into Connaught; and they carried off Ua Ceallaigh, i.e. Tadhg, son of Conchobhar, lord of Ui-Maine, and slew Ruaidhri Ua Flaithbheartaigh.

1147:The battle of Ath-luain was gained over Domhnall, the son of Toirdhealbhach Ua Conchobhair, and the Ua-Maine, by the men of Teathbha, where the grandson of Amhalghaidh Ua Flainn and others were slain.

1155:Magh-Finn was preyed by the men of Teathbha, who plundered some of the Ui-Maine.

1163:A royal heir's feasting visitation was made by Niall, son of Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn, the son of the King of Ireland … He afterwards proceeded across Ath-Luain, into Connaught, with a force of twelve score men; and they feasted upon the Ui-Maine, but they were all killed by Conchobhar Ua Ceallaigh, Conchobar Maenmaige Ua Conchobair, and the Ui-Maine, through treachery and guile, except some deserters and fugitives; and Niall, son of Muircheartach Ua Lochlainn, was taken prisoner, and conducted in safety to his house, by advice of their meeting.

1167:A church was erected at Cluain-mic-Nois, in the place of the Dearthach, by Conchobhar Ua Ceallaigh and the Ui-Maine.

1170:A great fleet was brought upon the Sinainn, by Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair, to plunder Munster. A predatory incursion was made by the Ui-Maine into Ormond, and a predatory incursion was made by the people of West Connaught into Thomond. They the Ui-Maine plundered Ormond on this occasion, and destroyed the wooden bridge of Cill-Dalua.

The Battle of the Conors

A decline in the power of Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair initiated civil unrest in Connacht, from about 1177. The Uí Maine appeared to take advantage of this, which cumulated in the Battle of the Conors, which took place at an unknown location, possibly within Máenmaige, sometime in 1180.

The victor was King Ruaidrí son, Conchobar Maenmaige Ua Conchobair, who had a palace at Dún Ló (Ballinasloe). The Four Masters relate that Conchobar Maenmaige Ua Cellaigh was killed, along with "his son Teige (Teige Tailtenn Ua Cellaigh); his brother Dermot; Melaghlin, the son of Dermot O'Kelly; and Teige, the son of Teige O'Conor.
