Giolla Brighde Mac Con Midhe () was an Irish poet. ==Background and family== Giolla Brighde Mac Con Midhe was hereditary Ollamh to the Cenél nEógain. The ''Ceart Uí Néill'', a late medieval document dealing with the rights and territories of the Uí Néill in Ulster, places the Mac Con Midhe (MacNamee) family in the area of Ardstraw. Prior to moving to Ardstraw, the Mac Con Midhes were known as Cinel Suibhne of Siol Ronain, the other half being Cinel Neachtain, the Ó Maolconaires, Ollamhs to the O'Connor Donn. Siol Ronain were located in County Wesmeath near the ancient capital established by Conn of the Hundred Battles at the Hill of Uisneach, and were closely associated with Clonmacnoise. In 911 with the midlands under tremendous pressure from the Vikings, the O'Maolchonaires were given land by the Ó Conchobhairs and crossed the Shannon into Roscommon, and the Mac Con Midhes headed North with the Ó Néills. His mother was of the Cenél Chonaill, so he addressed poems to the Ó Domhnaills as well as the Ó Néills. His closest patrons, however, were the Ó Gormlahaidhs of Ardstraw. Mac Con Midhe married and had children, all of whom died at an early age. The childlessness of himself and his wife led him to compose ''Deán oram trócaire, a Thríonnóid,'' an anguished plea to God and the saints to grant them ''just one child.'' There is speculation that there was another poet of the same name who lived earlier in the 13th century 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「Giolla Brighde Mac Con Midhe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
