Muireadhach Albanach Ó Dálaigh ("Scottish Muireadhach") was a Gaelic poet and crusader and member of the Ó Dálaigh bardic family. ==Early Career== ''The Annals of the Four Masters of Ireland'', s.a. 1213, tells us that he was the ollamh (high poet) of Domhnall Ó Domhnaill (died 1241). Muireadhach lived in Lissadell in Cairbre Drom Cliabh, now County Sligo and fled from Ireland after killing King Domhnall's tax-collector Fionn Ó Brolacháin, whom Muireadhach considered had been insolent, with an axe.〔The ''Annals of the Four Masters'', s.a. 1213.8-9, (text ) and (translation ); see also McLeod, ''op. cit.'', pp. 85-6.〕 In a poem, Ó Dálaigh dismisses his murder as his victim was a mere commoner and therefore of no account, a telling indication of the rigid stratification of traditional Irish society: ''Trifling is our difference with the man'', ''A shepherd was affronting me;'' ''And I killed that clown;'' ''O God! Is this a cause for enmity?''〔Mangan, p. 7.〕 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「Muireadhach Albanach Ó Dálaigh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
