Eoghanacht Genealogies
                                       From
                             The Book of Munster
        Written in 1703
        Rev. Eugene O'Keeffe
        Parish priest and Poet of
        Doneraile, North Cork

  Branching out of the Race of Eoghan, son of Oilill Olum.
  Here commences the genealogies and the branches of relationships of
  the family of eoghan Mor son of Oilill Olum - as set out here; and
  beside the other descendants of Oilill Olum.

  Eoghan Mor son of Oilill Olum, had one son i.e., Fiacha Muilleathan
  (i.e. Fiacha of the Flat head).  This son was conceived as follows:
  one night Eoghan went to the house of Dil of the Crecraighe tribe,
  before going to the battle of Magh Mucruimbe.  Dil then lived at
  Carn Fhearadhaig in the territory of the Northern Deis.  This Dil
  then had a marriageable beautiful daughter called Muncha.  While they
  were drinking Dil, the Druid, asked Eoghan if he had a family.  No, said
  Eoghan.  "Sleep with my daughter tonight," said the druid "and you shall
  have a wonderful child.""  Eoghan agreed with this and Dil went to his
  daughter and said, "Cohabit with Eoghan tonight and there shall be
  conceived a son and he shall be a king and his family and race shall be
  a royal one afterwards and Eoghan shall be slain in the forthcoming battle
  of Magh Muchraime.
    Muncha lay with Eoghan that night, at the druid's directive.  Eoghan went
  off in the morning along with his kinsmen to join forces with Art son of
  Conn (from Tara) and they went to the battle of Magh Muchruime.  Afterwards
  the druid and his daughter Muncha went to Western Magh Femhin, for there
  was Eoghan's residence at Knockgraffon.
    When the time came for the child to be born, the druid said, "Daughter, if
  it is today that you shall bear the child, he shall be a druid; but if he
  is not born until tomorrow, the child shall be king and his descendants
  shall be a royal race."
    Muncha said: "My son shall not be born until tomorrow so that he shall be
  king.  The daughter of Dil's then goes to the River Suir, to Ath Hisil on
  the Suir. There was a great flagstone in the middle of the ford there - she
  lay flat on the stone until daybreak on the following day.
    It is time now, O daughter - said her father, "to bear the child."  The
  wonderful talented youth was then born, in the middle of the flagstone that
  is Fiacha Muilleathan - father of all the eoghanachta (tribe of Owen).  Noble
  was the youth then born - Fiacha Fer da Liach i.e., Fiacha the Man of two
  Sorrows; his father was slain the day after his conception, his mother on
  the day of his birth.
   Eventually Fiacha Muilleathan, son of Eoghan Mor, assumed the kingship
  of the two Munsters and during his reign Cormac Ua Cuind, king of Ireland,
  came (from Tara) with a hosting into Munster, demanding tribute from the
  two provinces of Munster.  Cormac besieged the Munstermen at Druim Damhaire
  (Knockloag); this king weilded great power, both by the vastness of his
  army and the power of his druids.  Cormac had British druids weaving
  their spells against the Munstermen, so that by necromancy they had dried
  up all the wells and rivers of Munster, so that the people and their lands
  were in danger of death from the want of water.
    Then Fiacha Muilleathan sent for Mogh Ruith son of Fergus, the best
  druid to be found in Ireland.  Mogh Ruith then lived in Oilen Dairbhre
  (Valentia Island) in his old age, blind and decrepit, as he had outlived
  nineteen kings of Ireland:- from the time of Roth mac Rioghuill (the
  druid who had trained Mogh Ruith in sorcery) to the time of Cairbre
  Lifechair son of Cormac mac Airt.
    Mogh Ruith then came to meet Fiacha Muilleathan and the Munster nobles
  and they complained about what the druids of Leath Cuinn (Northern half
  of Ireland) had done to them.  he undertook to oppose their magic spells, and
  he chose the territory of Fir Mhwige (Fermoy) as his reward.  Mogh Ruith
  then overcame the druidery of Cormac and they defeated Cormac's forces
  routing them from Knockling to Tara with a great massacre.  Fiacha
  Muilleathan the Munster king did not leave Leath Cuind until he got hostages
  and homage from Cormac mac Airt; as the poet Feidhlime mac Crimithann
  wrote:-

    Good was the king Fiacha Muilleathan
    A great territory the Half over which he ruled
    He brought hostages from Tara the Strong
    To Rathfuim to Rath Naoi
    Though he was great;  Cormac Ua Cuinn
    He bowed to the king of Tir Duinn (Munster).

    Fiacha Muilleathan had three noble sons, Oilill Flann Mor and
  Oilill Flann Beag and Deachluath.  The latter, Deachluath is ancestor of the
  tribe called Ui Fiachach Eile (in north-east of Tipperary - Thurles and
  Roscrea) and Oilill Flann Mor left no issue.

    The family of Oilill Flann Beag.
    Oilill Flann Beag had four sons,  i.e.,
      1. Lughaid, ancestor of all the Eoghanachta;
      2. Fiodach, father of Crimthann;
      3. Daire Cearba from whom was the Ui Liathain;
      4. Maine Munchaoin from whom the Ui Fidgeinte; (the O'Donovans
         and O'Collinses of mid and west Limerick)

                      (from the Book of Ui Maine)

  Sealbhach son of Clairneach, had four sons: Slat, Elathach,
       MacIodhar, and Cochlan.  The descendants of Slat and Elathach fell
       into obscurity;  Cochlan, son of Sealbhach, had four sons:  Aodh, from
       whom is Ui Aodha (O'Hea); Cochlan from whom Ui Chochlain (O'Cohalane,
       O'Coughlan); Ceanndubh, from whom Ui Cheannduibh (O'Cannifee);
       Airchinneach, from whom Ui Airchinnigh; Maicthrialla, from whom the
       Ui Mhaicthrialla; and Maolbhridhde, who died without issue.
