    The subject of this paper is a document imbedded in the gelealogies of Leinster. From internal evidence it is a composition begun in the eighth century. The language is Middle Irish. It has been preserved in the following MSS:
    Book of Leinster, facs. 316a. Compiled circa 110-1200.
    D.2.I.fols. 57v and 96 (RIA). Compiled circa 1400.

    Book of Lecan, facs. 91b. Compiled circa 1417.
    It does not appear in Rawl. B.502 or H.2.7 (TCD)
    It is a list of ladies, wives and daughters of leading families in North Leinster. Th eperiod is from 500AD to 800AD. Such a list is unusual. There appears to be only one other instance in the Tethba genealogies (Ban-shencus in Lecan 205vb, 211b). It also refers to an early period. Other such lists probably existed as the Ban-shencus gives many women not in the Annals or surviving MSS.
    This particular list is in the section "Sil Fiachach Ba Aiccid." This includes the Ui Cennselaig and the Ui Dunlainge who were the dominant branches of the Sil Fiachach in Leinster, the former in the south, the latter in the north of the province. The list occurs in the Ui Dunlainge genealogies. A common ancestor of both branches, Bresal Belach, is the first Irish name entered in the Annals of Ulster in 435AD (although Professor McNeill considers this a misdating from evidence of Book of Armagh). The Ui Dulainge territory lay in Co. Kildare and parts of Wicklow and Carlow. The chief stronhold of the Ui Dunlainge seems to have been Naas. After 800AD their royal family were known as Ui Muirdaig. Later still the chief surname was Ui Tuathail.

Biography

Faelan was born in IrelandG, bef. 575 AFM [Annals of the Four Masters]. He died DECEASED in IrelandG, 665 AFM [Annals of the Four Masters].

Facts

Faelan had reference number 202. Frequently called "foster-son of Coemgen" of Glendalough. Thereby hangs a tale which is found in the Lives of St. Coemgen and also of St. Berach, a Connaught man. He has no connection whatsoever to do with the Ui Dunlainge. He is represented as on a visit to Coemgen when the events in the story took place. Both Lives narrate that Faelan was placed as a small child under Coemgen's protection against evil spirits, or against the hate of a step-mother, Cainech. They both describe attempts on Faelan's life by witchcraft and the death of the wicked step-mother. The story might well be pure imagination, but the facts in the genealogies suggest a foundation of truth. Feidhelm must have died circa 570-574 as Colman had another wife, Cummine, before his death in 576. Faelan, judging by the date of his own death, can only have been a baby at the time. It would have been natural for Colman, seeing his wife's jealousy, to send the child, not merely to a foster-father of the Ui Dunlainge, but to a great saint living in the territory of Feidhelm's own family. This was a double protection. The danger must have been very serious. It evidently impressed the public mind as the compilers of St. Berech's Life included it as a principal item of his visit to Coemgen. In the story the step-mother, Cainech, perishes at Coemgen's command. In the genealogies of our text she is "Cumne" or "Cummine" and lives to marry again. This did not point so good a moral and doubtless the compiler of Coemgen's Life felt bound to improve on it. This however, does not alter the fact that from two sources we can construct an incident of Ui Dunlainge history. - Women of the Ui Dunlainge, Margaret E Dobbs.

Biography

Finachta was born in Ireland. He died in 695 in Ireland.

Facts

Finachta was also known as Finsnechta Fledach. He held the title King of Brega. He had reference number 214. Fínsnechta Fledach mac Dúnchada (died 695) was High King of Ireland. Fínsnechta belonged to the southern Síl nÁedo Sláine sept of the Uí Néill and was King of Brega, in modern County Meath, Ireland. He was a grandson of Áed Sláine.[1] His father Dúnchad had died in 659.[2] His byname "Fledach" meant "the bountiful" or "the festive".

High King
He became King of Brega and High King in 675, after killing his predecessor, and first cousin, Cenn Fáelad in battle at Aircheltra, a place which is not identified.[3] The Fragmentary Annals of Ireland relate how Finsnechta won support by his generosity. Among those he won over were the king of Fir Rois and Saint Adomnán. According to this annal, he had been granted a stewardship by Cenn Fáelad, but was unsatisfied with this and encouraged by his friend of Fir Rois he challenged Cenn Faelad to battle and won the kingship.[4]
He appears to have faced resistance from the King of Leinster, a Battle of Loch Gabor(Lagore) was fought in 677.[5] There was mutual slaughter on both sides but Finsnechta emerged the victor. In 680, Finsnechta had the King of Leinster, Fiannamail mac Máele Tuile, assassinated.[6]
Finsnechta was involved in the north as well. In 676, he destroyed Ailech, center of Cenél nEógain power.[7] He fought Bécc Bairrche mac Blathmaic (d. 718), King of Ulster, in 679 at the Battle of Tailtiu.[8]
In June 684, Ecgfrith, the King of Northumbria, sent an army under Berht to Ireland which laid waste to the plain of Brega, the heart of Fínsnechta's kingdom.[9] The reasons for the sending of the army are unclear. The hostages taken in the raid were later returned through the offices of Adomnán in 687.[10]
According to the saga Bóroma ("The Cattle Tribute"), it is mentioned that the Fínsnechta Fledach undertook an expedition against Leinster when the Laigin refused to pay the cattle tribute. The Leinster king Bran Mut mac Conaill (died 693) assembled the Leinster forces and sent Saint Moling (d. 697), the abbot of Ferns, to negotiate with Fínsnechta. Mo-Ling tricked Fínsnechta into remitting the tribute. As a result, Saint Adomnan grew angry with the high king and cursed saying that his descendants would have no fame. Fínsnechta did penance to Adomnan and was forgiven for remitting the Boruma.[11]

Temporary Abdication and Death
In 688, Fínsnechta abdicated to become a monk, but he left the clerical life and resumed the kingship in 689. This return to power may have been a result of the break-out of a civil war among the Síl nÁedo Sláine when Niall mac Cernaig Sotal (died 701) of the Uí Chernaig sept of south Brega defeated Congalach mac Conaing Cuirre (died 696) of north Brega at the Battle of Imlech Pich in 688. Also, Áed mac Dlúthaig (died 701) of the Síl nDlúthaig sept killed Diarmait Dian mac Airmetaig Cáech, the King of Uisnech, of the Clann Cholmáin in 689.[12]
He was killed, along with his son Bresal, by his kinsmen Áed mac Dlúthaig and Congalach mac Conaing Cuirre at Grellaigh Dollaith. According to the Annals of Tigernach, this occurred in battle, but the Fragmentary Annals of Ireland state that Finsnechta was murdered in a tent by Congalach.[13] Congalach succeeded Fínsnechta as King of Brega, and Loingsech mac Óengusso, of the northern Cenél Conaill branch of the Uí Néill, was the next High King.
Fínsnechta's descendants the Clan Fínsnechtai played no important role after him. Fínsnechta was survived by a son named Ailill who was killed in 718.
The earliest surviving list of High Kings of Ireland, that in the Baile Chuind Chétchathaig was apparently compiled in Fínsnechta's reign.
