Eaghra Poprigh mac Saorghus, eponym and ancestor of the clan Ó hEaghra, King of Luighne Connacht, died 928. ==Ancestry== Eaghra Poprigh mac Saorghus was a member of the Gailenga people of north Connacht. They were originally from the kingdom of Brega on the east coast of Ireland. Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh (665.5., pp. 654–665) gives his pedigree as: * ''Eaghra Paiprigh, from whom are Ui Eaghra, s. Saorghus s. Béac s. Flaithgheas, from whom are Clann Flaithgheasa, s. Taichleach (aforementioned) s. Ceann Faoladh s. Diarmuid s. Fionnbharr s. Bréanainn s. Nad Fraoich s. Fidhsheang (or Finnéan, or Idhéan, or Fidhean, or Iodhan) s. Fiodhchuire, from whom are Ui Fhiodhchuire, s. Airtchearb s. Nia Corb s. Loí, from whom are Luighne, s. Cormac Gaileang s. Tadhg.'' The last name is that of Tadhg mac Cian, described at 660.6 (pp. 646–647) as the son of Cian, son of Ailill Aulom. Cian is given as the son of Sadhbh inion Conn Cétchathach (661.1, pp. 646–647). At 660.4 on the same pages is written: * ''It is the family of Cian which is announced openly here according to the old books which begin thus below: The families of Éibhear in Leath Chuinn: eastern and western Gaileanga, southern and northern Cianachta, eastern and western Luighne, and the four (or seven) Dealbhna, i.e., Dealbhna Mhór and Dealbhna Bheag in Midhe and Dealbhna of Eathair in western Midhe, and Dealbhna of Tír Dhá Loch in Connacht.'' Members of the family feature in the Old Irish tale, Battle of Maigh Mucruimhe, in which Cian and his six brothers were killed in the battle. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eaghra Poprigh mac Saorghus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
