 Traceys decended from the Eoghanachts (Southern Munster)

 

The Chief Irish Families of Munster, stem from the three branches of the race of Heber: namely, the Dalcassians, the Eugenians (Éoganachta), and the Clan Cian. The Éoganachta are named after Éogan Mór, one the sons of Ailill Aulomm (Oilliol Olum), ancient king of Munster. The Eugenians possessed Desmond, or South Munster, the present counties of Cork and Kerry, they held also part of the present county of Tipperary, called the Eoghanacht of Cashel. The Eoganacht ruled Munster from the seventh to the mid-tenth century. Prior to that the Erainn or their descendants, the Corca Loigde, ruled in Munster. The eastern branches of the Eoganacht, located at Cashel and Glanworth, began to dominate from about 700 A.D. Eoganacht power began to crumble in the late ninth and early tenth centuries and their place was taken by the Dal Cais, whose power rose from north Munster (Thomond) in the mid-tenth century.

 

The Eugenians: Of these the chief families were - MacAuliffe, MacCarthy, MacDonagh, MacElligot, MacFinneen, MacGillicuddy, O'Callaghan, O'Cullen, O'Donohoe, O'Finnegan, O'Flannery, O'Fogarty, O'Keeffe, O'Kerwick (anglicised "Berwick" and Kirby"), O'Lechan (or Lyons), O'Mahony, O'Meehan, O'Moriarty, O'Sullivan. O'Treacy, etc. (O’Hart)

 

The Traceys are one of the oldest names of the Éoganachta. These Traceys belonged to the Uí Fidgeinti, branching out of the Race of Fiachach Fidgenid, son of Maine Munchaín (or Dáre Cherbba). The Uí Fidgeinti (Fhidgeinti, Fidgente, Fidhgente, Fidhgeinte, Figeindte) inhabited a region of County Limerick along the River Maigue, west of Limerick City, from the 3rd to the 12th century. About 950, Uí Fidgeinti split into two major groups, the Uí Cairpri (Cairbre) and the Uí Chonaill Gabhra. Chiefs of the former group, also called Uí Cairbre Eaodhe (Aodhbha), were the O'Donovan chiefs whose seat was at Brugh-righ (Bruree), on the west bank of the River Maigh (Maigue) about four miles to the north of Kilmallock, County Limerick. There are extensives ruins of earthen forts said by tradition to have erected by Oiloill Olum. There are also ruins of a circular wall with a later addition of Norman square towers. The Traceys belonged to this group. Chiefs of Uí Chonaill Gabra included the Ui Cuiléin, or Collins, of the baronies of Connello, County Limerick. Lenihan states that at an earlier period, the O’Tracies are mentioned as chiefs of Connello (in the Annals of the Four Masters?).

 

Some of the western portions of Uí Fidgeinti territory became, largely, under the patrimony of the Uí Chonaill Gabra by the 10th century. This was roughly the baronies of Upper and Lower Connello in County Limerick, and the Uí Chonaill name survived as the country of Connello in western county Limerick. Since the large medieval barony of Connello also included the more modern baronies of Shanid and Glenquin, Uí Chonaill Gabra likely included this far western section of co. Limerick. Ua Cinnfhaelaidh and Ua Chuiléin were noted in the Annals as lords of Uí Conaill Gabhra in the 11th and 12th centuries. Many of the familes were displaced or dispersed by the 13th century after the arrival of the Fitzgeralds, Burkes and O’Briens. Around this time Amhlaoibh O Donnobhain (Auliffe O’Donovan) was seated in Cairbre, Co. Cork among the tribe of O’ h-Eidirsceoil (O’Driscolls) by force of arms.
 

The Traceys of Waterford may have their origins from the dispute between the Éoganachta and the Dalcassians (Brian Boru) over who would rule southern Ireland. There was an feud dating back to 976 AD when Donamhain mac Cathal, king of Uí Cairpri and Uí Fidgente, (the ancestor of O’Donovan) killed Mahon, then King of Munster and the brother of Brian Boru. In 978 AD, Donovan, knowing that he had to fear the vengeance of Brian, sought the alliance of the Danes. He invited Harold, who as the only surviving son of Ivor, was recognised as king of the foreigners of Munster, to his house. But Brian invaded Uí Fidhgente, drove off the cattle, took the fortress of Cathair Cuan, and slew Dovovan and Harold. I think that some of the Traceys and the Donovans moved to live with their Danish allies in Waterford and Youghal. Donnabhainn son of Imar King of the Danes of Waterford (†995) was the grandson of O’Donovan.

 

A sister tribe of the Uí Fidgeinti, were the Uí Liatháin, both claimed decent from Dáire Cerbba. The Uí Liatháin were located around Cork City and perhaps Youghal. Aillil Tassach, the son of Liatháin from whom are the Uí Tassaig, had a son Bressal, who may have been a king of Munster. The Uí Tassaig may have been confused with Uí Treasaig.

Lives of the Saints

 

In the life of St. Albei of Imblech (Emly) (†527/534/542AD) paragraph 31, he is in the land of Uí Carpre and Uí Conuill. There was the church of Acah Cumrech.

 

St. Ita of Killeedy (†570/577AD) is the patron saint of Uí Conaill Gabra. In her life, there are numberous references. She is the aunt of St. Mochoemog of Leigh. Her church was at Clúain-credal (holy meadow) later known as Cell-Íte (Killeedy) five miles south of Newcastle at the foot of Slíab Luachra, the southern boundry of Uí Conaill Gabra. The earliest annal entry found for the Uí Fidgente, relates to her. The Corco Óche are also referenced in the lives of other saints and may have become vassals of the Uí Conaill Gabra.

 

U552 The battle of Cuilen in which the Corco Óche of Mumu perished through the prayers of Ita of Cluain Credail.

 

In the life of St. Brendan of Clonfert (†577/583AD), paragraph 3, there is a reference to Cella Yte beside montis Luachra (on the border of cork and Conelloe?) in Uí Conayll Gabra.

 

In the life of St. Moluae of Clonfert (†609AD), paragraph 1, it states that he was of the Corcoiche in Uí Figenti. There are also other references and to Molua. Some genealogists and hagiographers attach the race and the saint to the Uí Fidgente line.

 

In the life of St. Maedóc/Aiden (†625/6AD) founder of Ferns, he is reported to have visited Uí Conaill Gabre on two occasions. Firstly, he went to the fort of the King of Uí Conaill Gabra (of the fair roads) to try and release some of his kinsmen who were being held as hostages for ransom. The king kept him waiting outside, where he fasted causing the king’s daughter to die. He then brought the kings daughter back to life. However, the king only released the hostages without payment, when the saint split a stone in two, and he gave him an estate where he built a church called Cluain Claidech/Claidmech (Clooncagh, Co. Limerick). Secondly, he restored to life a foster daughter of St. Ida, when he was visting his father-confessor Molua mac Oiche, near her church.

 

In Christian times, St. Senán was founder of the church of Inis-Cathaig (Scattert Island) about a mile from Kilrush on the Shannon. He was a patron of the Corcu Baiscinn and of the Uí Fidgente, the ruling kindreds of the territory on the southern side of the estuary of the Shannon. In Wexford, he succeeds St. Maedóc as abbot of Ferns and he founded a church at Templeshannon (Teampeall Senáin) Enniscorthy.

 

In the life of St. Carthach/Mochuda of Rathen and Lismore (†637AD), paragraph 30, he is in the land of Uí Conaill, where he meets St. Ita.

 

In the life of St. Fintan of Kinnity († around 640?AD), paragraph 16, it refers to Nechtayn (96. Nechtain Cendfhotai?) king of Uí Fidhgente and the Corco Duibne.

 

In the life of St. Mochoemog of Leigh (†656AD), paragraph 1, it states that his father lived in Corcoiche (or Corco Baysce) in Uí Conaill Gabhra.

 

In the life of St. Mo-Laisse of Devenish, at the end, it tells of the exile of the Dartraige, a people whose name is preserved in the barony of Dartry, Co. Monaghan. They are repsented as originally of Munster, but are banished because of the cruelties they practised on the Uí Conaill Gabra, and the assistance they gave foreigners and gentiles.

Bhreasail Uí Threasaigh:

Do réir Bhreasail Uí Threasaigh, an tan do roinneadh an Mhúmha 'na cúig míribh, do bhíodh cúig aicme 'san mír, agus cúig buidhne 'san aicme, agus cúig céad fear infheadhma 'san mbuidhin. Agus dá meastaoi neart Éireann uile an tan soin, is éigcneasta baramhail na druinge do shaoil go bhféadfadh an Romhánach le 'legion' nó le dá 'legion', Éire do chur fa ghion gai agus claidhimh [dó féin]; agus Éireannaigh do shíor 'na ndaoinibh gaisgeamhla.

According to Breasal Ua Treasaigh, when Munster was divided into its five parts, there were five tribes in each part, and five companies in a tribe, and five hundred effective men in the company. And if the strength of all Ireland at that time be estimated, the opinion is unsound of the people who thought that the Roman with a legion or with two legions would be able to bring Ireland under power of spear and sword to himself, [and] the Irish always being valiant men. (Keating)

Oengus promised her three wishes. These were her three wishes, to wit, that the meadow land of Cashel from Luasc to Cashel be given to her, for her mother’s kindred to dwell there, that the tribe which they would choose should clear the land before them, which should then belong to them; and that they should be as free as the three Eoganacht of Munster, to wit, the Eoganacht of Raithlenn, the Eoganacht of Loch Lein and the Eoganacht of the Hui Fidgenti together with the Hui Liathain.

The founder of the Uí Bairrche (Traceys of Leinster), Dáire Barraig, was reported to have lived at Dun Aillin or Cnoc Aulin (Knockaulin) near old Kilcullen, Co. Kildare. Dun Aillin was the ancient fortress of the Kings of Leinster. Eoghan Mór (Mug Nuadat), the renowned King of Munster was the daltha or pupil of Dáire Barraig, and was fostered there, when he was forced to flee from his own country. With the aid of Dáire Barraig, he was able to assert his sovereignty in Munster and eventually clashed with Conn Cétchathach (Conn of a hundred battles) King of Ireland 125 AD. According to Dillon, he got the name Mug Nuadat from his having helped an architect named Nuada who was building the fort of Dún Aillinne.

The following are extracts from the Leabhar na g-Ceart (Book of Rights):

 

Ní ícaid Eoghanacht nach cír…

Deich n-eich do righ h-Ua n-Gabhra,

deich scéith, deich (g)-claidimh chalma,

deich (g)-cuirn ‘n-a bhún fó dhémhe,

cean géill uadh, cean eitérni.

…acht lúghu fó láimh righ Caisil

Seacht n-eich do righ Brogha-righ,

seacht (g)-cuirn as a n-ebha fín,

seacht (g)-claidhimh, is cor soraidh,

seacht n-gilla, seacht m-ban moghaidh.

 

Tuaristol righ Brogha-righ

The Eoganachts pay no tribute…

No tribute is due of the Ui Fidhgheinte

 

Ten steeds to the king of Ui (Chonaill) Ghabhra,

Ten shields, ten swords fit for battle,

Ten drinking-horns in his protective fort,

Without hostages from him, without pledges.

…except to swear by the hand of the king of Caisel

 

Entitled is the king of fair Ui Chonaill

To an Easter dress from the king of Caiseal,

His beautiful sword of shining lustre,

And his spear along with it.

 

Seven steeds to the king of Brugh-righ (Ui Chairbre Aebhdha)

Seven horns from which wine is drunk,

Seven swords, it is a happy engagement,

Seven serving-youths, seven bond-women (or bondsmen).

 

The stipend of the king of Brugh-righ

From the king of Eire without sorrow,

Ten tunics, brown red,

And ten foreigners without Irish

 

The kings of Uí Fidgenti will only go on a hosting in order to protect the honour of Munster against the Laigen or Leth Cuinn, and they claim seven cumala from the king of Cashel for this sevice if they return alive; if not the king of Cashel or his successor must pay recompense to their heirs.

Let us proceed across Luachair hither,

A journey which is fit for poets,

To the cold and festive Claonghlais

Of the green, irriguous, wooded land.

 

The Ui-Conaill of the battalion of Munster,

Multitudinous is the gathering,

A great tribe, with whom it is not usual to contend,

Are the battle-trooped host of the O’Coilens.

 

O’Billraidhe who used to bestrow cows,

Over Ui-Conaill of the field of Gabra,

King of Truth of fair lands,

The smooth dells of heavy fruit.

 

Mac Innerigh, hero of gems,

Over the mellow Corco Muicheat,

A fine host who constantly ramify

Like the white blossom of the branching apple tree.

 

Corco Oiche of beautiful wood,

A fair-surfaced territory of fresh inbhers,

A fair land of best showers,

Under the vigorous hero, O’Macass.

 

O’Brega of the fair mansion obtained

The cantred of Ui-Rossa of rich course;

The hero of Caonraighe of fair kland

Is O’Maolcallann of branches.

 

The share of the noble Dal Cairbre Ebha,

Of the kings of Caisel of white wattles,

Lasting is his profit of the land,

The brave pillar O’Cleirchin.

 

Hereditary to O’Donnabhain of Dun Cuirc

Is this land, as a land of encampment;

To him, without tribute, belonged [the land] along the sluggish Maigh.

And the plains down to the Sionainn…

 

Eoganacht of the sunny field of Gabhra,

Land of the sweetest, smooth-round apples,

The gem of each female band of fame,

To O’Cinnfhaeladh of red weapons [it belongs].

M645.4 The battle of Carn Conaill was gained by Diarmaid, son of Aedh Slaine against Guaire, wherein were slain the two Cuans, namely, Cuan, son of Enda, King of Munster, and Cuan, son of Conall, chief of Ui Fidhgeinte; and Tolamhnach, chief of Ui Liathain; and Guaire was routed from the battle field. Diarmaid, on his way to this battle, went first through Cluain Mic Nois. The congregation of St. Ciaran made supplication to God that he might return safe, through the merits of their guarantee. After the king's return, he granted Tuaim nEirc (i.e. Liath Manchain), with its sub divisions of land, as altarsod, to God and to St. Ciaran; and he gave three maledictions (i.e. curses) to that king whose people should take even a drink of water there. Wherefore Diarmaid ordered his burial place at Cluain Mic Nois.

It is on a Sunday that Diarmait went to fight this battle, that is, through Cluain moccu Nóis and the congregation of Ciaran and prayed for him that he might come safe for the sake of their surety. When the king returned, he granted Doimnerc with its divisions today called Liath Mancháin, as a sod of the altar of Ciarán, and imposed three curses on the king of Mide if any of his people consumed as much as a drink of water there, so that it was for this reason that Diarmait asked to be buried in Cluain moccu Nóis.

M701.2 After Loingseach, son of Aenghus, son of Domhnall, had been eight years in the sovereignty of Ireland, he was slain in the battle of Corann, by Ceallach of Loch Cime, the son of Raghallach, as Ceallach himself testifies in this quatrain:

For his deeds of ambition,
on the morning he was slain at Glais Chuilg;
I slew Loingseach there with a sword,
the monarch of all Ireland round.

There were slain also his three sons along with him, Artghal, Connachtach, and Flann Gearg. There were also slain there the two sons of Colcen, and Dubhdibhearg, son of Dunghal, and Fearghus Forcraith, and Conall Gabhra, and other noblemen besides them. Conall Meann, son of Cairbre, composed these quatrains, and that was the cause of the battle:

If Loingseach should come to the Banna,
with his thirty hundred about him,
To him would submit, though large his measure,
Ceallach the Grey, of Loch Cime.

Ceallach of the round stones was well trained;
a paling of spears was leaped over
By the Redhanded
King of Loch Cime.
