Gan bheith measctha le hUí Bhriain de Dhál Chais

Rítheaghlach na gConnacht ba ea Uí Bhriúin nó Uí Bhriain (Sean-Ghaeilge Uí Briúin). Brian (Brión) ba ea a sinsear eapainmneach. Eochaid Mugmedon agus Mongfind ba ea a thuistí, Fiachra agus Ailill a dheartháireacha, agus Niall Naoighiallach a leasdeartháir níos óige. I dteannta le clanna Uí Fiachrach agus Uí Ailello, aithnítear na trí clanna mar na Connachta. Níos deireanaí, le cleasaíocht láimhe, cuireadh clann Uí Mhaine in ionad Uí Ailealla mar thríú clann na gConnacht.

Luath dhreamanna agus rochtain in Éirinn, c. 800

Bhíodh Uí Fiachrach i réim sna Connachta ó thús. D'éirigh Uí Bhriúin i gceannas ann ach sna 7ú agus 8ú haoiseanna.

Clanna

Bhí an-chuid clann ag Uí Bhriúin. Is iad na trí clanna is tábhachtaí ná a leanas:

Dhéantaí ríthe Chonnacht ach amháin de bhaill na gclann úd.

Clann Bhriain

Dar le Tíreachán, thug Naomh Pádraig cuairt ar "áras mic Bhriain" ag Duma Selchae ar Mag nAí, ach ní deir sé cérbh iad. De réir ailt chomhionainn in Vita tripartita Sancti Patricii, a théann siar b'fhéidir go dtí an 9ú haois, bhí seisear mac ann. I bhfoinsí níos déanaí ámh, maítear go raibh ceathrar mac is fiche ag Brian. Is dócha gur cumadh ginealaigh Uí Bhriúin do threibheanba faoi mar a thángadar faoina smacht, amhail is Uí Bhriúin Uamhaill, Uí Bhriúin Ratha agus Uí Bhriúin Sionna.[1]

Geographic Origins

Cé go gcreideann Francis Byrne agus John O'Donovan gurbh as Mag nAí an chlann ó dhúchas, luann Roderic O'Flaherty agus John Colgan na scéalta inste faoi Naoimh Pádraig[2] agus Felartus,[3] agus iad ag tabhairt cuairte ar mhic Briúin ar Mhaigh Seola. This confusion surrounding the location of Mag Selce as mentioned in the Tripartite caused Nicholls to suggest that the geographical origin of the Uí Bhriúin was moved for political reasons to near Cruachan by the time of Tíreachán.[4] MacCotter also points out that when the Uí Briúin were purportedly beginning their ascent, given the distributions of surrounding population groups, "the area originally available to Uí Briúin [in Mag nAí] cannot have consisted of more than the area of a few civil parishes".[5]

A story in the Silva Gadelica[6] notes that during the legendary war between Brión and Fiachra, Fiachra's encampment was situated in Aidhne and Brión's lay in Damh-Chluain, which is stated to be in Uí Bhriúin Seóla and not far ó Chnoc Meá, taobh thiar de Thuaim.[7] Although this is a legend, it may be an indication of the Uí Briúin's original homeland, as is Aidhne for the Uí Fiachrach. In addition, Hubert Knox, citing the Conmaicne's distribution and early status as subjects of the Uí Briúin, posited that the Uí Briúin originated in the barony of Clare in County Galway as the leading lineage of that people.[8] Intriguingly, the Leabhar Bhaile an Mhóta calls Ceallach mac Raghallaigh "King of Conmaicne",[9] a title also commonly taken by members of the Uí Bhriúin Bhréifne branch in later centuries. The Maigh Seola origin scenario is more consistent with the fact that early Uí Bhriúin kings (e.g. Ceann Faoladh mac Colgan agus Ceallach mac Raghallaigh) had their residence on Loch Cime, as well as Aodh mac Eachach donation of Eanach Dhúin sa 6ú haois,[10] which Byrne thought unlikely given Annaghdown's distance from Mag nAí.[11] Furthermore, Ceann Faoladh is stated in the annals as having been killed by the Conmaicne Cuile,[12] and the king-list in Sioncronachtaí Laud states that the same king died at the hands of "his own people".[13] If both of these accounts are accurate, it would indicate that the Uí Bhriúin originated among the Conmaicne.

With the inclusion of Máenach mac Báethíne,[14] ancestors of all three major branches of the dynasty are mentioned in the annals as residing or fighting in the Maigh Seola region in the 7ú haois. The district to the east of Loch Coirib is referred to as "Magh Ua mBriuin" at least as late as 1149.[15] This likely denotes the domain of the "rí Uí Bhriúin", a title borne primarily by men of the Uí Bhriúin Seóola.[16] As Knox points out, these kings were distinguished at an early date from the Síol Muireadhaigh of central Ros Comáin in the Leabhar na gCeart, suggesting that the lands of the Uí Bhriúin Seola were the original Uí Bhriúin.[17]
