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)
