Murchad mac Diarmata (died 1070) was a late eleventh-century ruler of the kingdoms of Leinster, Dublin, and the Isles. He was a member of the Uí Chennselaig, and a son of Diarmait mac Máel na mBó, King of Leinster (died 1072). Murchad had three sons: Domnall (died 1075), Donnchad (died 1115), and Énna. He is the eponymous founder of the Meic Murchada, a branch of the Uí Chennselaig who adopted the surname ''Mac Murchada'' (MacMurrough, MacMorrow, Morrow). ==Murchad's death in the ''Annals of the Four Masters''== ''Murchadh, son of Diarmaid, son of Mael-na-mbo, lord of the foreigners and of Leinster, under his father, died at Ath-cliath, precisely on Sunday, the festival of Mary, in winter. It was in lamentation of him the poet composed these quatrains:'' :''There is grief for a chief king at Ath Cliath,'' :''Which will not be exceeded till the terrible Judgment Day;'' :''Empty is the fortress without the descendant of Duach,'' :''Quickly was the vigour of its heroes cut down.'' :''Sorrowful every party in the fortress'' :''For their chief, against whom no army prevailed;'' :''Since the body of the king was hidden from all,'' :''Every evil has showered ever constant.'' :''For Murchadh, son of Diarmaid the impetuous,'' :''Many a fervent prayer is offered;'' :''In sorrow for the death of the chief is every host'' :''That was wont to defeat in the battle,'' :''Great the sorrow that he was not everlasting;'' :''Pity that death hath attacked him.'' :''Too early it was that he removed from him his complexion,'' :''That he removed one like him from his body.'' :''Liberal of wealth was the grandson of Mael-na-mbo;'' :''He bestowed horses, and he distributed cows,'' :''For the sake of his going to God.'' :''Who is it to whom 'tis best to give fleeting wealth?'' 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「Murchad mac Diarmata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
