Cobthach Mac Gabran
Cobthach mac Gabran was King of Ui Fiachrach Aidhne. Cobthach's place among the early kings is uncertain. He is listed in the genealogies but there is no explicit reference to him in the annals. His reign lies somewhere between the years after 538 and 601. His apparent predecessor, Goibnenn mac Conaill, is given as his uncle. His apparent successor, Colmán mac Cobthaig, is given as his son. The latter was the first king of Connacht from the Ui Fiachrach Aidhne.

Goibnenn Mac Conaill
Goibnenn mac Conaill (flourished 537) was the first king of the Ui Fiachrach Aidhne mentioned in the annals. He was the great-grandson of the high king Nath Í (died 445). In 537 he defeated the King of Uisnech, Maine mac Cerbaill, of the Southern Ui Neill at the Battle of Claenloch (near Kinelea, Co. Galway) and Maine was slain. Maine was attempting to secure the hostages of the Uí Maine. This battle marked the division of the Ui Maine subject to Connacht and the Cenél Maine of Tethba, subject to the Southern Ui Neill.Francis J.Byrne, ''Irish Kings and High-Kings'', pg.92 This victory would lead to the domination of the kingship of Connacht by the Ui Fiachrach Aidne in the 7th century.

Colmán Mac Cobthaig
Colmán mac Cobthaig (died 622) was a king of Connacht from the Ui Fiachrach. He was the first king of Connacht from the Ui Fiachrach Aidhne branch. This branch was descended from Eochu, the brother of Ailill Molt (died 484). According to the ''Book of Ballymote'' he was the grandson of Goibnenn mac Conaill (flor.537), the first Aidne king mentioned in the annals, but ''Rawlinson Genealogies'' name his grandfather as Gabrán. He succeeded as king sometime after 601. Both the ''Book of Leinster'' and the ''Laud Synchronisms'' consider him the successor of Uatu mac Áedo (died 600) and give him a reign of 25 and 21 years respectively. The annals report that in 622 was fought the Battle of Cennbag (Cambo, County Roscommon) where he was slain. He was defeated by his successor Rogallach mac Uatach (died 649) of the Uí Briúin branch. His sons included: Laidgnen/ Loingsech mac Colmáin (died 655) and Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin (died 663) future kings of Connacht.Byrne, Table 18 N ...

Kings Of Connacht
The Kings of Connacht were rulers of the ''cóiced'' (variously translated as portion, fifth, province) of Connacht, which lies west of the River Shannon, Ireland. However, the name only became applied to it in the early medieval era, being named after the Connachta. The old name for the province was Cóiced Ol nEchmacht (the fifth of the Ol nEchmacht). Ptolemy's map of c. 150 AD does in fact list a people called the Nagnatae as living in the west of Ireland. Some are of the opinion that Ptolemy's Map of Ireland may be based on cartography carried out as much as five hundred years before his time. The Connachta were a group of dynasties who claimed descent from the three eldest sons of Eochaid Mugmedon: Brion, Ailill and Fiachrae. They took their collective name from their alleged descent from Conn Cétchathach. Their younger brother, Niall Noigiallach was ancestor to the Uí Néill. The following is a list of kings of Connacht from the fifth to fifteenth centuries. Pre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nobility From County Galway
Nobility is a social class found in many societies that have an aristocracy. It is normally ranked immediately below royalty. Nobility has often been an estate of the realm with many exclusive functions and characteristics. The characteristics associated with nobility may constitute substantial advantages over or relative to non-nobles or simply formal functions (e.g., precedence), and vary by country and by era. Membership in the nobility, including rights and responsibilities, is typically hereditary and patrilineal. Membership in the nobility has historically been granted by a monarch or government, and acquisition of sufficient power, wealth, ownerships, or royal favour has occasionally enabled commoners to ascend into the nobility. There are often a variety of ranks within the noble class. Legal recognition of nobility has been much more common in monarchies, but nobility also existed in such regimes as the Dutch Republic (1581–1795), the Republic of Genoa (1005� ...
