Ciannachta Glen Geimin

dream Gaelach in Éirinn na meánaoise lonnaithe i gContae Dhoire

Dream Gaelach in Éirinn na meánaoise ba ea Ciannachta Ghleann Geimhin (Sean-Ghaeilge Cianachta Glinne/Glenn Geimin), lonnaithe i gContae Dhoire. I dteannta le Ciannachta eile, mhaígh siad gur de shliocht Taidhg mhic Céin iad.

Uí Conchúir ba ea príomhchlann na gCiannachta úd. Bhí siad i gceannas ón 5ú haois go dtí gur tháinig Uí Catháin i gcomharbacht orthu sa dara haois déag.[1]

Sa bhliain 681, maraíodh Ceann Faoladh, rí Chiannachta Ghleann Geimhin, i dteannta le Dúngal Eilne, rí na gCruithne agus an Dáil Araí, i Dún Ceithirinn ag Maol Dúin mac Maoil Fithrigh den Cineál mhic Earca.[2][3][4]

Measadh go raibh comhaontas éigin idir Ciannacht Ghleann Geimhin, an Cineál Fearadaigh agus an Dál nAraidi ciontach as bás Eochach mhic Dhomhanghairt, rí an Chineáil Ghabhráin den Dál Riada san [[Albain sa bhliain 697.[5] Rinne Fiannamail ua Dúnchado, a bheadh in am trátha rí an Dáil Riada, an feall seo. Sa bhliain 700, ámh, maraíodh mar chúiteamh eisean agus Flann mac Cinn-Faoladh den Chiannacht Ghleann Geimhin.[5]

Tar éis di bheith clóite ag Uí Chathaín, lonnaigh sna tailte a gcomhghuaillithe, Uí Mhaoláin,[6] agus Mhic Giollagáin. Faoin the 17ú haois, bhí an dara dóibh i gceannas ar "thír Mhic Giollagáin" mar a ghlaoití uirthi, feadh an chósta thuaidh. Faightear an inniu Aird Mhic Giollagáin.[7]

Feictear Ó Coinn éigin i nAnnála na gCeithre Máistrí don bhliain 1218, ina thiarna Mhaigh Lughadh, a bhí de réir Leabhar Mór Leacáin agus Leabhar Bhaile an Mhóta suite i gcríocha na gCiannacht.[8]
