INDEX

[2696] Brian Boru, aka Brien Borom, was King of Munster, 1009-1014 (succeeding his father, Kenedy), and Monarch of Ireland, 1002-1014; routed and expelled the Danish Vikings from Ireland; died on Good Friday; his father m. Mary Bebion (Bevionn)(dau.of Arca, Lord of West Connaought)(her sister Cressa m. Teige, Prince of Connaught) - Collins gives their legendery descent from the early kings of Munster & Ireland clear back to Pharaoh Nectanebus and her ancestor Japhet, son of Noah. {"Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons," Carr P. Collins, Jr., Dallas, 1959, pp. 148-151; cf. Encycl. Brit., 1956 Ed., 11:602; 15:967 - see comments to Ceallachan, King of Munster - this reference states that Brien Borom's dates are 926-1014.} Seumus MacManus, "The Story of the Irish Race" (N.Y.:Devin-Adair, 1944, p. 275) calls him the "most famous hero of the Danish period in Ireland...the celebrated Brian mac Cenneigigh, son of Kennedy, chief of Thomond, including the eastern portion of the present county of Clare, and hereditary ruler of North Munster. He was born probably about the year 941 and is known to history as Brian Boru, which he took from the name of the town of Borime, near Killaloe, on the right bank of the Shannon. He was the youngest of twelve brothers, all of whom fell in battle, except Marcan, who was a religious and head of the clergy of Munster, and Anluan who died of a severe illness." MacManus states (pp. 280-82) that Brien died in a battle with the Vikings on Good Friday, April 23, 1014, at Conliffe near Dublin, and is buried at Armagh . The battle (known as the battle of the Weir of Contarf) is noted by MacManus (pp. 282-83) as "one of the decisive battles of history, for it not only warded off Danish rule from Ireland but probably even altered the whole subsequent history of Europe." Northern France and England became the theater of their operations for 300 years, instead of Ireland, as they expanded their northern empire. See the popular account, "The Lion of Ireland," by Morgan Llewyllen, and "The Princes of Ireland," by Edward Rutherfurd, Chapter 5. The Internet web site http://www.magoo.com/hugh/irishkings.html#pedigrees (2002) states: Also King of Munster. Son of Ceinneidigh (Cennetig or Ceinnetich, Kenneidi) King of Thomond), son of Lorcan (Lorccain) (mac Lachtnae (lachtnai) macCorcc (Cuircc)), son of Corc, son of Annluan, son of Mathgamhain, son of Toirrdhealbach, son of Cathal, son of Aodh Caomh, son of Conall, son of Eochaidh Bailldhearg, son of Carthann Fionn, son of Blod, son of Cas, son of Conall Eachluaith, son of Lughaidh Meann, son of Cas, son of Conall Eachluaith, son of Lughaidh Meann,l son of Aonghus Tireach, son of Fear Corb, son of Mogh Corb, son of Cormac Cas (brother of Eoghan Mor), son of Oilill Olum. Brian was married to Gormflaeth ingen Murchada MacFinn, daughter of Morough MacFinn, King of Leinster. She was was "famed for her six marriages." Brian was killed in the victory over the Danes at Clontarf (Cluaintarbh) on Good Friday in 1013 (or 1014). Maelseachlainn Mor #174 fought with Brian in the battle, and he led the rout of the Danes after the death of Brian. One of eight kings of the Ui Neill, and four of other dynasties, called a 'king of Ireland' by the Annals of Ulster. (Byrne p. 256)" Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Boru.
