O Maoilseachliann, Kings of Meath

"The Vicissitudes of Familes"

Burke

"The mutability of fortune is in no instance more signally

displayed than in the vicissitudes of the O'Melaghlins, native

Kings of Meath. Descended from Conal Crimthine, one of the sons of

the reknowned Irish monarch, Niall the Great, they assumed from

Colman More, the grandson of Conall Crimthine, the soubriquet of

the Clan-Colman, or Southern Hy-Nialls, as contradistinguished from

the Northern Hy-Nialls, the O'Neills and O'Donnells, descendants of

Owen and Conal Gulban, two other sons of that monarch. As the

"Clan-Colman," or "Southern Hy-Nialls," they were known until the

ninth century, when they assumed the surname of O Maolseachlainn,

or O'Melaghlin, from Maolseachlainn, or Malachy, the then monarch

of Ireland. These Northern and Southern Hy-Nialls exclusively

occupied the throne of Ireland, from the fourth to the eleventh

century; a period of time which no reigning dynasty can boast of,

the Sovereign of Rome alone excepted. They had four royal palaces

in Meath, Tara, "of the Kings," "Tailten, "of the Royal Games,"

Tachtga, and Usneach, of which Ossian sung. But Tara was the most

magnificent, as well the palace of the reigning monarch, as the

place of assembly of the great Fez, or native Irish Parliament.

The ancient kingdom of Meath was no inconsiderable

principality, for it comprised the present counties of Meath and

Westmeath, with parts of Dublin, Kildare, King's County, the

greater part of Longford, and small portibns of the ancient

districts of Brefny and Orgiall on the borders of the present

counties of Cavan and Louth.

The early annals of the O'Melaghlins are rich in incident.

One of the episodes has been dramaised by Howard, of the Irish

Exchequer, in a work of great merit, entitled "The Seige of Tamor,"

or Tara. During the wars of the Danes, Turgesius, a very

celebrated Danish chief, had established his authority almost

throughout the entire kingdom, and towards the close of the ninth

century he became so powerful in Meath, as to have O'Melaghlin, the

king of that territory, at his mercy, and to treat him in the light

of a vassal. Conceiving a dishonourable passion for the daughter

of the King, Turgesius offered insulting proposals to the father.

The outraged parent stifled his indignation, for it was hopeless to

resist, and had recourse to a device to save his daughter's honour,

and at the same time rid his country of the Danish tyrant; a

device, "resembling," as Moore, the Irish bard and historian, aptly

observes, "in some of its particulars a strategem recorded by

Plutarch in his life of Pelopidas." Malachy answered that he would

send his daughter, the Princess of Meath, to the fortress of the

Dane, the next night; but that, as she was young and timid, she

should be accompanied by sixteen of her youthful maiden attendants,

and that perhaps Turgesius might select one of them and spare the

princess, the king's only child. At the time appointed, the Dane

had a grand banquet, composed of sixteen of his principal offiercs,

to whom, during the carouse, he suggested that each should insult

one of the attendants of the Princess.

At length, a messenger having informed Turgesius that the

Royal maiden and her female companions were outside the fortress,

the guests, by his direction, retired, lest their presence might

alarm the ladies. Splendidly attired in the costume of the day,

the Princess and her companions entered the banquet-hall, and

Turgesius had scarcely time to offer the first expression of his

revolting love, when the robves of her companions were cast aside,

and displayed sixteen youthful armed warriors, who seized, gagged

and bound the Dane; and rushing into the adjoining apartment,

dispatched his chiefs. The King of Meath himself, with a chosen

body of troops, was close at hand, and rapidly possessed himself of

the fortress, allowing the Danish troops no quarter. The fame of

this gallant and rmarkable exploit gave courage to the Irish, and

struck the invaders with dismay. On the following morning,

Turgesius himself, loaded with chains, was cast into Lough Annew,

in Meath.

O'Melaghlin then assumed the monarchy, and attacked the Danes

in every direction; but succesive swarms having arrived by sea,

the contest between them and the natives was fierce and protracted,

and extended long afte the death of the gallant Malachy. Another

Malachy, the descendant of O'Melaghlin, a brave and warlike prince,

who reigned at the close of the tenth century, had a long and

deadly struggle with the Danes; and when exhausted in his heroic

efforts to free his country from those cruel and merciless

foreigners, he was deposed by Brian Boru, King of Munster, ancestor

of the O'Briens, who usurped the throne, and broke up the ancient

dynasty. At Brian's death, however, at the battle of clontarf, in

the year 1014, the aged monarch, King Malachy, assumed the sceptre,

and followed up that memorable victory by pursuing the Danes to the

very gates of Dublin, and assailing them on all points. After his

death, in the year 1022, succesive princes of the rival houses of

O'Brien and O'Conor of Connaught contested for the sovereignty;

but ultimately a gallant prince of the Hy-Nialls, Murtough M'Neill

[i.e. MacLaughlin], crushed their pretensions and restored the old

royal race, which terminated at his decease in 1168, one year

preceding the coming of the English, and with him fell the native

Irish monarchy; for Roderick O'Conor, King of Connaught, who

assumed the sovereignty after King Murtough, and afterwrds

surrendered it to the English, was but partially acknowledged by

the states of the kingdom, and though popularly called the last

King of Ireland, was not so in reality - the gallant Murtough

MacNeill, the "Irish Hector," as he was called, having occupied

that position.

Another episode in the history of the O'Melaghlins, Kings of

Meath, which has formed many a fruitful theme for bard and

senachie, was the elopement, in the middle of the twelfth century,

of the Princess Devorgoil, wife of O'Rorke, Prince of Brefny, and

daughter of O'Melaghlin, King of Meath, with Dermod MacMurrogh,

King of Leinster. To this fase step of the frail, and, as she has

been called, lovely Princess of Brefny, has been attributed the

arrival of the Anglo-Normans in Ireland, upon the invitation of her

guilty and banished lover, King Diarmid; but alas! rigid historic

evidence has stripped this story of all its romance. Hanmer has

shown that the fair and lovely Devorgoil - the "false young one" of

Moore's melodies, in the famous song of "The Valley lay smiling

before me" - was forty-four years of age, and exceedingly plain,

when she went off with MacMurrough; and the vent took place

fourteen years before the arrival of the English! The success of

the Anglo-Norman arms in Ireland was more immediately felt by the

native princes and chiefs inhabiting the districts adjoining

Dublin. In 1172, Henry the Second despoiled Murchard O'Melaghlin

of his kingdom of Meath, and granted it to Hugh De Lacy, who was

appointed Lord Palatinate of the territory. De Lacy divided it

amoung his various chiefs, who were commonly called "De Lacy's

Barons;" these were: Tyrrell, Baron of Castleknock; Nangle,

Baron of Navan; De Misset, Baron of Lune; Phepoe, Baron of

Skrine; FitzThomas, Baron of Kell; Hussey, Baron of Galtrim;

Fleming, Baron of Slane; Dullard, or Dollard, of Dullenvarty;

Nugent, Baron of Delvin and Earl of Westmeath; Tuite, Baron of

Moyashell; Robert De Lacy's descendants, Barons of Rathwire; De

Constantine, Baron of Kilbixey; Petit, Baron of Mullingar;

FitzHenry of Magherneran, Rathkenin, and Ardnorcher. To some of

thse there succeeded the De Genevilles, Lords of Meath; Mortimer,

Earl of March; the Plunkets, of Danish descent, Earls of Fingall,

Barons of Dunsany, and Earls of Louth; the Prestons, Viscounts

Gormanstown and Tara; the Barnewalls, Barons of Trimbleston and

Viscounts Kingsland; the Nettervilles, Barons of Dowth; the

Bellews, Barons of Duleck; the Dareys of Platten, Barons of Navan;

the Cusacks, Barons of Culmullen; and the FitzEustaces, Barons of

Portlester. Some of these again were succeeded by the De Baths of

Athearn, the Dowdalls of Athlumny, the Cruises, the Drakes of Drake

Rath, and numerous others.

Thus fell the O'Melaghlins as Kings of Meath, and with them

their lords or tributary chiefs, the MacGeoghegans, O'Haras,

O'Regans, O'Rorys (anglice Rogers), the MacUais (MacEvoys),

O'Caseys, O'Hanrahans, and numerous others, whose lands passed into

the hands of the invaders, and left their descendants to struggle

for centuries after under adverse circumstances. They are now

chiefly tillers of the soil of which thier fathers had been lords

and chiefs.

The succeeding history of the O'Melaghlins would be but a

repetition of the sad story of the old Milesian races, and need

only be glanced at. Their fall, however, was not sudden, but

gradual; they struggled bravely on, though unsuccessfully, against

the common enemy, who dexterously set one chief of their house

aginst another, and thus paved the way for the more easy

subjugation of all. In the reign of Henry the Eighth they had still

retained considerable power and preserved a large teritory. In the

year 1544 we find Cedach O'Melaghlin inaugurated chief of the

Clan-Colman or South Hy-Niall race. But in 1548 Teige Roe

O'Melaghlin brought Edmond Fahy, alias White, into Delvin against

his enemies; but Fahy turned on O'Melaghlin, and in King Henry's

name, to use the language of the Four Masters, "dispossessed and

expelled himself and all his race from Delvin, and drove him from

it, as the new swarm of bees drives away the old swarm."

Henceforward the O'Melaghlins, Ki0ngs of Meath, chiefs of the grand

old South Hy-Niall race, almost disappear in Irish hsitory, and

present only occasionally a flitting gleam on the surface, as in

the war of 1641, and then sink again into the darkness of

obscurity.

Five branches of the Family

Ballinderry

Fearnocht

Castletown

Castlereagh

Mullingar

Ballinderry

"However, I ascertained satisfactorily that the line of Art of

Ballinderry, chief of the name at the commencement of the last

century, was extinct. According to the concurrent tradition of the

country, he died, without issue, while resident with the family of

Daly, or O'Daly, at Castle Daly, near Moat, and with which family

he was in some way connected by an intermarriage. Indeed,

according to a tradition which I noted, the ancestor of the Dalys

obatined property in the county by marriage with an heiress named

Grace, or Graine og ni Melaghlin, 'of Moat or some other castle.'

This castle was most probably that of Killeliegh, now Castle Daly,

which had belonged to the O'Melaghlins; and as the husband was

said to have been a 'big trooper in Cromwell's army, but a

gentleman,' he was probably the James Daly of Killcleagh who,

according to an inscription on a tombstone at Clonmacnoise, 'dyed

the 18th of January, A.D. 1679.' Art of Ballinderry was said to

have been a person of weak mind.

Fearnocht

"Having settled this point, my inquiries were next directed to

the Fearnocht barnch, of which Captain Murrough, or Margan, was the

chief ta the close of the seventeenth century. This Murrough

appears to have been regarded as the chief or leader of the

Melaghlins during the rebellion of 1641, as I should suppose in

consequence of the mentall imbecility of his kinsman, Art; for, in

the catalogue given by De Burgo - Hib. Dom. Supplementum, p. 879 -

of the nobles and gentlemen, who in 1646, associated with the

clergy in repudiating the peace of Ormond, we find the name of D.

Morganus O'Melaghlin, cum tota sua Familia. Of this Morgan and his

posterity, as might be expected, the traditions were very vivid,

and, in general, accurate. And, to my great regret, I soon learnt,

from the concurrent testimony of various informants, that of his

offspring in the male line there existed no representative.

He left two sons and four daughters. The sons died without

leaving issue, and the property of the father was gaveled amonst

the four daughters. Of these daughters, all of whom married - the

eldest, who was named Bridget, became the wife of John Tyreell Wat,

Esq., and she, it appears, sold her inheritance, in 1748, to Mr.

Robert Mulock, in whose posterity it still remains. By this

marriage, John Tyrrell left a son, Wat, and this Wat left a son,

John, and two daughters, namely, Bridget and Margaret. Of these

daughters, Bridgetf became the wife of Mr. Molloy, by whom she had

one son, who was living with his father and mother in Athlone at

the time when I received this information, which was givent o me by

persons residing in the vicinity of Moate .... "

Selteneveeny Branch, Roscommon County

Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland

Cornelius MacLoughlin of

Selteneveeny

An ancestor, Morogh Dubh O'Melaghlin, built a house of refuge on

a small island in Lough Meelagh, Kilronan. His father, Calvagh or

Charles, prince of Meath, died ca. 1599. A great-great-grandson of

Morogh, Thomas MacLoughlin, is listed at Selteneveeny, Roscommon.

This family was an offshoot of the O'Melaghlin of Ballinderry

branch of the O'Melaghlins.

who desireth to receive his country as Maguire doth, and therefore

(if your Lordships so like of it), it were good the Queen's warrant

were for those two in particular, and generally for others of the

Irishy, that should seek to have a state of their countries from

her Majesty in this manner, with such reservations and provisions

again to obedience, will be a good mean to secure all the tract

100. Maoilseachlainn Mor (or Malachy), the 29th king of Meath,

for 17 years, for 15 whereof he governed

Ireland, the 167th Monarch, in which time he

having by a bold strategem surprised and

taken prisoner their king or general,

Turgesius, with most of his chief

commanders, of whom her murdered all except

Turgesius, whom he kept alive for some time

at Cno-Innis, a little island upon

101. Flann Sinna, his son, the 32nd king of Meath and the 169th

Monarch of Ireland, for 38 years. Soon

after his father's death, the Danes

returning into Ireland in great swarms and

becoming very formidalbe, this king quelled

them in many battles and encounters; in his

time also the king of Munster with a great

army invaded Leinster and did much mischief

until the Monarch came to aid Cearbhaill,

son of Muirgan, king of Leinster, and in a

great battle fought at Magh-nally, Cormac

the holy and famous king and bishop of

Munster, with seven petty kings of the south

of Ireland, was slain and their army totally

routed and destroyed in the pursuit. This

battle was fought, A.D. 905, and in the year

914, Flann died a natural death at Tailten

and was succeeded in the kingdom of Meath by

his younger brother, Longaonarus, who

reigned three years.

102. Donchadh, son of Flann, the 35th king of Meath and the 171st

Monarch of Ireland, for 25 years, and died

A.D. 942. He had an elder brother,

Domhnall, the 34th king of Meath, slain by

him. He was married to Sara, daughter of

Donoch, king of Ossary, a most fortunate and

curteous king.

103. Domhnall, his son, the 40th king of Meath, for four years,

married Dunleith, daughter of Muirdoch, son

of Niall Glundubh, the 170th Monarch of

Ireland, and by her had issue.

104. Maoilseachlainn (or Malachy), the 2nd, the 45th king of

Meath and the 174th Monarch of Ireland.

After 23 year's reign, was forced from the

Monarchy to make room for Brian Boromha,

king of Munster, who after 12 year's reign,

was slain in the great battle of Clontarf

aginst the Danes, A.D. 1014. This said

Maoilseachlainn resumed the throne and

killed and destroyed such of the Danes as

fled from the battle, and settled the

kingdom, building, re-edifying and repairing

many churches, monasteries and colleges

formerly burnt and destroyed by the Danes.

He built St. Mary's Abbey in Dublin, and

settled sufficient maintenance as well upon

collegs and public schools, for the

encouragment of learning and learned men,

and maintained 300 scholars out of his own

private revenue. Having spent 9 years of

his second reign in the well-ruling and

governing of his country in these pious and

charitable employments, he withdrew himself

from all worldly cares and trouble and

retired into the little island of Cno-Innis

on Loch-Aninn (where Turgesius the Danish

tyrant was prisoner), containing not above a

fourth part of an acre of ground, where this

great and pious Monarch built a little cell

for himself and his chaplain, and a small

chapel or oratory, and therein contined and

ended his days penitently and holy, A.D.

1023. (Others say 1034). From him his

posterity took the surname of O'Melachlin.

105. Domnall, his son, the 47th king of Meath. Had three

brothers, Connor, Murtach and Flann. Flann,

who had one son Moroch, king of Meath, the

father of two daughters only, viz., Tailte,

who was the wife of Domnall O'Ferrall, king

of Conmaicne, and kDevorgill, wife of

Tighernan O'Rourke, king of Breffny, and the

unhappy occasion of the English Invasion of

this kingdom and the subjection thereof to

the Crown of England ever since.

For she being a beautiful woman

(whether by her own consent or by force is

uncertain), was stolen away from her husband

by Diermot MacMorogh, king of Leinster,

whereof O'Rourke having complained to Rory

O'Connor, king of Connacht, and then Monarch

of Ireland, he to revenge the affront and to

punish the author of so outrageous a fact,

marched with a great army into Leinster and

neccessitated the said Diermot, not able to

withstand so powerful an army, to fly into

England, where he obtained liberty from King

Henry the 2nd, for such of his subjects as

pleased to come with and assist him in the

recovery of his kingdom of Leinster.

Whereupon Richard surnamed Strongbow,

FitzStephen, FitzGerald and others acepted

Diermot's invitation and large promises,

which they improved to like advantage for

themselves and their posterity as the Saxon

some time before did in England upon their

invasion thither by the Britons.

106. Conchobar O'Melachlin, his son, the 48th king of Meath,

after 15 years reign was slain by his own

brother, A.D. 1073.

107. Domnall O'Melachlin, his son.

108. Moroch O'Melachlin, his son.

109. Maoilseachlainn O'Melachlin, his son.

110. Art O'Melachlin, his son.

111. Cormac O'Melachlin, his son.

112. Art O'Melachlin, his son.

113. Niall O'Melachlin, his son.

114. Cormac O'Melachlin, his son.

115. Cormac oge O'Melachlin, his son.

116. Conn Mor O'Melachlin, his son, by Giles, his wife, daughter

of O'Kelly, had four sons, Felim Creachnach,

Niall, Art, and Cathal.
