Loughinsholin (〔) is a barony in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.〔 Its southeast borders the northwest shore of Lough Neagh, and itself is bordered by seven other baronies: Dungannon Upper to the south; Strabane Upper to the west; Keenaght and Coleraine to the north; Kilconway, Toome Upper, and Toome Lower to the east.〔 The Sperrin Mountains rise to the west of Loughinsholin, with Slieve Gallion and Carntogher the two most notable mountains of the range in the barony.〔 The Ballinderry River flows along the southern boundary of the barony, with the River Moyola cutting through the middle, both emptying into Lough Neagh. ==History== The area of land that forms Loughinsholin has changed control several times throughout history. During the first millennium, it was part of the Cruithin over-kingdom of Ulaidh. It would then become part of the over-kingdom of Airgialla, founded by the Three Collas from their conquests in Ulster. One of the under-kingdoms of Airgialla was Ui Tuirtri, named after Fiachu Tuirtri, son of Colla Uais (one of the Three Collas), which stretched from the River Blackwater south of Dungannon to the River Bior (meaning water, modern day Moyola River〔), located half a mile north of Tobermore. The ''Ó Floinn'' sept ((英語:O'Lynn)) would come to prominence in Ui Tuirtri, with their power-base situated on a crannog just outside the modern village of Desertmartin. The lake this crannog lay in became known as "Lough Insholin" and was preserved as the name of the barony of Loughinsholin upon its creation. Centuries later, Shane More O'Hagan, once owner of Calmore Castle within the parish of Kilcronaghan in the barony, later married a lady from these O'Lynn's and took up residence at "Lough Insholin".〔 With the expansion of the Cenél nEógain into Airgialla, the territory of Ui Tuirtri west of the river Bann eventually passed into the overlordship of Tir Eóghain.〔(Ireland's History In Maps )〕 By the 1350s, the Clandeboye O'Neills had stepped into the power-vacuum left by the collapse of the Earldom of Ulster,〔 and expanded to encompass all of Ui Tuirtri. The last recorded lord of Loughinsholin was Brian Carrach O'Neill from a branch of the Clandeboye O'Neills. Brian Carrach's residence along the border of the parishes of Kilcronaghan and Ballynascreen became known as ''Dún Tí Bhriain'' (preserved as the townland of Duntibryan).〔 His daughter Anne, was the second wife of last prince of Clandeboye, Shane MacBryan O'Neill of Edenduffcarrick, later known as Shane's Castle, Antrim. Brian Carrach died in 1586.〔 The Line is supposedly been kept in existence by a lower branch of the family, although this claim has never been proved. The current claimant to the title is Peter O'Neill of Ballynascreen. On 15th July 1591, County Tyrone was divided into eight baronies, of which one was "Loghynisolin", containing the districts of Cloncankayne (Glenconkeyne) and Kilytraghe (Killetra).〔〔 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「Loughinsholin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
