Colmán Rímid (or Colmán mac Báetáin) (died 604) was an Irish king who is included in some lists as a High King of Ireland. Colmán was the son of Báetán mac Muirchertaig (died 572), also considered to be a high king, and belonged to the Cenél nEógain branch of the northern Uí Néill.〔T.M. Charles-Edwards, ''Early Christian Ireland'', Appendix V〕 He ruled in Ailech from 578 to 602〔 he is given a reign of 24 years in the ''Laud Synchronisms〕 His byname meant "the counter". The high kingship of Ireland rotated between the Cenél nEógain and Cenél Conaill branches in the late 6th century.〔Charles-Edwards, pg.494-495〕 He is said to have shared the High Kingship with Áed Sláine. The accession of Colmán and Áed to the high kingship is recorded in the annals in 598〔''Annals of Ulster'' AU 598.5; ''Annals of Tigernach'' AT 596.3〕 They are also listed as kings in the king lists.〔 given reigns of 6 years in ''Laud Synchronisms'', 7 years in ''Book of Leinster''〕 They are however omitted from the earliest king list, the ''Baile Chuind'' (The Ecstasy of Conn), a late 7th-century Irish poem. Fiachnae mac Báetáin of Ulaid may have been effectively king.〔Charles-Edwards, pg.499-500〕 In 602 Colmán defeated his Cenél Conaill rival, Conall Cú mac Áedo (died 604) at the Battle of Cúl Sleamna (in Raphoe barony) and Conall was put to flight.〔''Annals of Ulster'' AU 601.3, 602.2; ''Annals of Tigernach'' AT 600.2〕 Colmán met his death in 604 when he was killed by a kinsman, Lochán Dilmana.〔''Annals of Ulster'' AU 604.1; ''Annals of Tigernach'' AT 602.1〕 The ''Annals of Ulster'' state of this:〔''Annals of Ulster'' 604.1〕 "Of what value kingship, of what value law; of what value power over princes; Since it is king Colmán the Counter whom Lochan Dithnadha has slain?" His daughter, or perhaps granddaughter, Fín, was the mother of Aldfrith son of Oswiu.〔Francis J.Byrne, ''Irish Kings and High-Kings'', pg.260〕 The poet Cenn Fáelad mac Aillila (died 679) was his nephew.〔(). ''Aldfrith of Northumbria and the Irish genealogies''. Ireland, C. A., in Celtica 22 (1991].〕 His brother Máel Umai (died 610) fought at the Battle of Degsastan where he is said to have killed the brother of King Æthelfrith of Bernicia. ==Family tree== Báetán mac Muirchertaig | |___________________________________________________________ | | | | | | | | | | Colmán Rímid Máel Umai Forannán Fergus Ailill. | | | | | | | |_______________________________ ?
