East Breifne (Old Irish Muintir-Maelmordha; Irish ''Breifne Uí Raghallaigh'') was an historic kingdom of Ireland roughly corresponding to County Cavan. In 1211 Walter de Lacy erected the castle on Turbet Island in the abortive Anglo-Norman attempt to gain control of the area.〔COUNTY CAVAN DEVELOPMENT PLAN 1996〕 This and his capture of Cloughoughter Castle in 1220 severely weakened the O'Rourkes. The subsequent activities of William Gorm de Lacy, his half-brother, who seized the central Breifne strongpoints for himself, allowed the Ó Raghallaigh's to establish themselves in east Breifne away from the control of their original O'Rourke, and de Lacy overlords. By 1233 Cathal mac Annaid Ó Raghallaigh was in a position to capture Cloughoughter for himself after William Gorm was killed. A great battle, fought between the O'Rourkes and the Ó Raghallaigh's, in the year 1256 near Ballinamore led to the permanent division of Breifne between the O'Rourkes and O'Reillys. In 1579 East Breifne (Breifne O'Reilly) was renamed Cavan and shired into Ulster, it took its present boundaries. The dynasty was part of the Ó Raghallaigh of Muintir Maoilmhordha and lasted until 1607. After this, in the early 17th century, Cavan was settled by colonists from England and Scotland who laid the foundations for towns such as Belturbet, Killeshandra and Virginia.〔() County Cavan History〕 ==Kings (Lords) of Breifne O'Reilly (Irish ''Bréifne Ó Raghallaigh'') == The following is a list of the kings of East Breifne, an Irish kingdom situated in modern County Leitrim and County Cavan. * Ragheallach ("ragh:" Irish, a race; "eallach," gregarious):From whom the O'Reillys derive their name.
