Muirisc
Muirisc, Muireasc, or Muireasg was a legendary but perhaps also historical royal princess who was given rule by her father, Úgaine Mór (aka Hugony the Great), the sixty-sixth high king of Ireland,〔"Ugaine More/Hugonius, 66th King of Ireland" at (Genealogy.com )〕 over a territory called Mag Muirisce (later the Barony of Murrisk) in what is now County Mayo. She placed her stronghold near Clew Bay in the shadow of Cruachan Aigli (Conical Mountain), now known as Croagh Patrick.〔R. A. Stewart Macalister (ed. & trans.), ''Lebor Gabála Érenn: The Book of the Taking of Ireland, Part V'', Irish Texts Society, 1956, p. 469.〕 She clearly appears to have been a sea captain and a warrior because, much like the Elizabethan-era "pirate queen," Grace O'Malley, she "ruled o'er hardy sailors and great men" and was famed as much for being "daring" and "bold" as she was for her beauty and "snowy hands."〔Anne Chambers, ''Ireland's Pirate Queen: The True Story of Grace O'Malley'', New York: MJF Books, 2003, p. 16.〕
Estimates vary across a 1,100-year span as to when Muirisc (as well as her father) may have lived—from around the year 500 of the Common Era to as far back as 600 Before the Common Era.〔''Annals of the Four Masters'' (M4566-4606 )〕〔Geoffrey Keating, ''Foras Feasa ar Éirinn'' (1.28 )-(1.29 )〕〔Roderick O'Flaherty, ''Ogygia, or, a Chronological Account of Irish Events,'' Part III (1685) as translated by James Hely in his (Volume II, Dublin: 1793 ), p. 400.〕〔Anne Chambers, above.〕 All of what little is now known about her can be traced to two short medieval poetic references.〔John O'Donovan, ed., Ordnance Survey. ''Letters Relating to the County of Mayo'', Vol. II (Dublin 1862), p. 97.〕〔 R. A. Stewart Macalister, above.〕
