Tigernach Of Clones
Tigernach mac Coirpri (''d''. 549) was an early Irish saint, patron saint of Clones (Co. Monaghan) in the province of Ulster. Background Tigernach or Tiarnach of Clones (anglicised ''Tierney'') was one of the pre-eminent saints of the territory ruled by the Uí Chremthainn dynasty, together with Mac Caírthinn of Clogher and Mo Laisse of Devenish. His principal foundation is Clones, which lay in the western part of Fernmag, a kingdom ruled by the Uí Chremthainn branch Uí Nad Sluaig. The first foundation by Tigernach, in about the same area, is Gabáil-liúin, now Galloon Island, Upper Lough Erne (Co. Fermanagh), on the border of that kingdom.Charles-Edwards, "Ulster, saints of (''act. c''.400–''c''.650)" Life Tigernach’s ''Life'' depicts an early stage when the Uí Chremthainn had not yet branched off but had a single royal seat near Clogher.

Tigernach Mac Fócartai
Tigernach mac Fócartai (died 865), also called Tigernach of Lagore, was King of Lagore. Background Tigernach belonged to the Uí Chernaig branch of the once-powerful Síl nÁedo Sláine kindred, part of the southern Uí Néill. His great-great-grandfather Fogartach mac Néill had been High King of Ireland. The kingdom of Brega over which the Síl nÁedo Sláine had once ruled was, by the middle of the eighth century, divided into two or more parts. The Uí Chernaig were styled kings of Lagore, or of south Brega, named after Loch Gabhair in modern County Meath. Archaeological study of the crannog in Loch Gabhair suggests that the seat of the kings of Lagore was there. The Hill of Tara lay within the kingdom of Lagore, and this may have given the otherwise minor kingdom a somewhat greater importance. Biography During Tigernach's reign the Irish midlands were dominated by his distant Uí Néill kinsman, the High King Máel Sechnaill mac Máele Ruanaid of Clann Cholmáin. The earl ...

Tigernach Ua Braín
Tigernach Ua Braín (died 1088) was abbot of Clonmacnoise and abbot of Roscommon. He was once held to be the author of the '' Annals of Tigernach'', hence its name; this view is no longer sustainable, though the nature and extent of his involvement remain unclear. The Uí Braín and Clonmacnoise The annalistic compilation known as the '' Chronicon Scotorum'' mentions that he was 'heir of Ciarán and of Commán', that is abbot of Clonmacnoise and Roscommon, and came from the Síol Muireadaigh (Síl Muiredaig),''Chronicon Scotorum'' s.a. 1088. descendants of Muiredach Muillethan (d. 702), a ruling sept of the Connachta Uí Briúin dynasty.Charles-Edwards, "Ua Braín, Tigernach (''d''. 1088)". The Uí Braín were a branch of the Síl Muiredaig, but being no player in the race for kingship, focused on Clonmacnoise to pursue a career in the church instead. The first known Uí Braín member to become abbot of Clonmacnoise was Dúnchad Ua Braín (d. 989) and others are attested afte ...
