Muirgius mac Tommaltaig
Muirgius mac Tommaltaig (died 815)〔all dates per ''The Chronology of the Irish Annals'', Daniel P. McCarthy〕 was a King of Connacht from the Uí Briúin branch of the Connachta. He was the great-grandson of Indrechtach mac Muiredaig Muillethan (died 723), a previous king.〔Francis J. Byrne, ''Irish Kings and High-Kings'', Table 20〕 The death of his father Tommaltach mac Murgail (died 774) is recorded in the annals where he is called king of Mag nAi.〔''Annals of Ulster'' AU 774.4〕 Muirgius was of the Síl Muiredaig sept of the Uí Briúin. He reigned from 792 to 815.
==Struggle for the throne==
The annals state that his reign began after Battle of Sruth Cluana Argai (Cloonargid, Roscommon,Co.) in 792 when he defeated Cináed mac Artgail (d. 792), of the Síl Cathail sept, who was slain.〔''Annals of Ulster'' AU 792.2〕 In 793 we find him imposing the Law of Saint Commán of Roscommon in conjunction with abbot Aildobur (d. 800) upon the three Connachta at Cruachu.〔''Annals of Ulster'' AU 793.2〕
Another important battle in 792 was the battle of Ard Maiccrime in Sligo Co., where the Ui Ailello where delivered their death blow. Among the slain were Cathmug mac Flaithbertaig of the Cenél Coirpri and Cormac son of Dub dá Crích of the Uí Briúin Bréifne.〔''Annals of Ulster'' AU 792.3〕 The ''Annals of the Four Masters'' states that Muirgius was the victor in this battle also.〔''Annals of the Four Masters'' M 787.15〕 The Ui Briun profited by the decline of the Ui Ailello and a branch of the Sil Muiredaig later occupied Mag Luirg.〔Byrne, ''Irish Kings and High-Kings'', p. 249〕
The ''Annals of Innisfallen'' refer to Colla mac Fergusso (d. 796) as king at his death obit who may have been a rival to Muirgius.〔''Annals of Innisfallen'' AI 796.3; Byrne, ''Irish Kings and High-Kings'', p. 250〕 Also, in 796 we find Muirgius defeated at the battle of Áth Féne on the northern border of Ciarraige in his home territory.〔''Annals of Ulster'' AU 796.6〕 His reign though appears uncontested after the battle of Dún Gainiba in 799 where Muirgius was victorious in a battle among the Connachta.〔''Annals of Ulster'' AU 799.1〕 Also that year Gormgal, abbot of Armagh imposed the Law of Saint Patrick on Connacht.〔''Annals of Ulster'' AU 799.9〕
