Magh Luirg (original) (raw)
Magh Luirg or Magh Luirg an Dagda, Anglicised as Moylurg, was the name of a medieval Irish kingdom located in modern-day County Roscommon, Ireland. It was a sub-kingdom of the kingdom of Connacht from c. 956–1585. The kings of Moylurg were a branch of the Síl Muiredaig, who were themselves of the Uí Briúin Ai who descended from the Connachta. Moylurg is, in Irish, Magh Luirg an Dagda, "the plain of the tracks of the Dagda". The Dagda was an ancient Irish deity.

| dbo:abstract | Magh Luirg or Magh Luirg an Dagda, Anglicised as Moylurg, was the name of a medieval Irish kingdom located in modern-day County Roscommon, Ireland. It was a sub-kingdom of the kingdom of Connacht from c. 956–1585. The kings of Moylurg were a branch of the Síl Muiredaig, who were themselves of the Uí Briúin Ai who descended from the Connachta. Moylurg is, in Irish, Magh Luirg an Dagda, "the plain of the tracks of the Dagda". The Dagda was an ancient Irish deity. The kingdom's first king, Maelruanaidh Mor mac Tadg, was a son of (King of Connacht 925–956) and brother to Conchobar mac Tadg, who succeeded as king in 967. Maelruanaidh is said to have made a deal of some nature where, in return for abandoning any claim to the provincial kingship, he would be given Moylurg. His dynasty were known as the Clan Mulrooney (later known as Clan MacDermot), cousins to O'Connor, who was then High King of Ireland. This royal connection was exploited to oust the existing chieftains of Moylurg, the MacReevys (Irish: Mac Riabhaigh, later anglicized spelling McGreevy). There are very few clues as to the exact point in time when the MacRiabhaighs (MacReevys/McGreevys) were dispossessed of their ancestral lands by the McDermots or to a controversy which precipitated the action. Modern sources are not much help. Clearly the dispossession occurred earlier than was speculated by Sir Cecil King-Harmon in 1958 (c. 1400) or the Roscommon Herald in 1959 (c. 1300). The statement on the McGreevy Stone in Ardcarne Cemetery (erected in the 20th century, c. 1930) that the MacRiabhaighs (MacReevys/McGreevys) were "kings of Moylurgh . . . until 1255" may be the most reliable, and also is consistent with the statement by the Irish genealogical authority Edward MacLysaght ("More Irish Families") that the McGreevys were "lords of Moylurg . . . until the 13th century, when they were subdued by, and become tributary to the McDermots". (en) Tuath na meánaoise suite i Contae Ros Comáin an lae inniu ba ea Magh Loirg nó Magh Lorg an Daghda (Meán-Ghaeilge Mag Luirg). Tuath de a bhí ann idir na blianta c. 956–1585. Géag de Shíol Mhuireadhaigh ba ea ríthe Mhagh Loirg, de shliocht Uí Bhriúin Aoi, iad féin de chuid na Connachta. Dia ársa na nGael ba ea an Daghdha. Mac le Tadhg mac Cathail (rí Chonnacht 925–956) ba ea chéad rí na tuaithe, Maolruanaidh Mór mac Taidhg. Is dóigh go raibh beart éigin déanta ag Maolruanaidh, go mbeadh sé ina rí Magh Loirg, in ionad na clainne Mhic Riabhaigh a bhí ann ó dhúchas, mar chúiteamh ar aon éileamh ar ríogacht an chúige. Clann Mhaolruanaí (níos deireanaí Mhic Dhiarmada) ba ea a mhuintir, gaolta le Uí Chonchúir, ríthe Chonnacht agus ardríthe na hÉireann ina measc. Le fírinne, ní léir é cathain go cruinn a tharla an eachtra seo. Ní mórán cabhrach iad foinsí an iar inniu. Is léir é gur tharla an díshealbhú roimh 1400, mar s mhol Sir Cecil King-Harmon sa bhliain 1958, nó roimh 1300, mar a scríobhadh san Roscommon Herald sa bhliain 1959. Is dócha gurbh í an inscríbhinn ar Chloch Mhic Riabhaigh i Reilig , curtha suas c. 1930, go raibh an chlann is ina ríthe Mhagh Loirg go dtí 1255, an fhianaise is údarásaí. Tá sí ar a laghad i gcomhréir le moladh Edward MacLysaght (More Irish Families) go raibh clann Mhic Riabhaigh ina dtiarnaí Mag Loirg go dtí an 13ú haois, nuair a chuir clann Mhic Dhiarmada faoi smacht iad.
