Iveagh (; 〔) is the name of several different historical territorial divisions located in modern-day County Down, Northern Ireland. It is the anglicised name of an ancient Irish district, ruled by the ''Uí Echach Cobo'', as well as the name of a former barony, which was split into Iveagh Lower and Iveagh Upper. ==Uíbh Eachach Cobha== Iveagh derives its name from the Cruithin tribe ''Uíbh Eachach'', or "descendants of Echu", and referred to an ancient Irish túath (district).〔 It is also known more fully as ''Uíbh Eachach Cobha'' (Echu Cobo), and equivalent with ''Uíbh Eachach Uladh'' (Eachach of Ulster).〔 The ''Uíbh Eachach'' where one of the tribes that made up the ancient kingdom of Ulaid in eastern Ulster.〔 They shared the kingship of Ulaid with the Dál Fiatach and their kin the Dál nAraidi.〔 The ''Uíbh Eachach'' were the most prominent sept of the Dál nAraidi,〔 The name ''Magh Cobha'', meaning "plain of Cobo", appears to have been an older name for Iveagh. The name survived as Moycove, the earliest recorded name in the civil parish of Drumballyroney, where it was the name of an Anglo-Norman castle between 1188–1261.〔 The highest point in the parish is the hills of Knock Iveagh (''Cnoc Uíbh Eachach''),〔 which may have been the centre of ''Uíbh Eachach'' power. Another form of the name appears to have been ''Cuib'',〔 with the title of "king" of ''Cuib/Cobo'' making its first appearance in the Annals of Tigernach under the year 685AD,〔 and in the Annals of Ulster under 735AD.〔 The last mention is in the Annals of Ulster under the year 882AD,〔 after which the term is replaced with chief/lord of ''Uí Eachach''. ''Uíbh Eachach Cobo'' is mentioned in the Irish annals from AD551 to AD1136, with the last entry stating that "Echri Ua-h-Aitteidh, Lord of Ui-Eathach, was killed by the Ui-Eathach themselves".〔 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「Iveagh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
