''[[Francis J. Byrne|Byrne]] doubts the legitimacy of the early Uí Briúin genealogies and even goes so far as to doubt that thesethe early kings of Connacht were even of the Uí Bhriúin. He cites the reference in the annals[[annála Éireann|annála]] to the death of Aodh insa bhliain 575, who is said to be killed by the Uí BriúinBhriúin, and to a reference in the [[Annála Inis Faithlinn]] that he gave [[Eanach Dhúin]] on [[Loch Coirib]] to [[Naomh Breandán]] of [[Cluain Fearta]]. He doubts that a ruler from the |[[Ciarraige Aí|Mag nAí]] region would be able to make this gift.<ref>Byrne, lch.&nbsp;245</ref> However, Hubert Knox believed the Uí Bhriúin in fact originated near Eanach Dhúin,<ref>Hubert Thomas Knox, ''The History of the County of Mayo to the Close of the Sixteenth Century'', ll. 19-20.</ref> which would explain this situation. Charles-Edwards, on the other hand, believes that the Uí Bhriúin were set up in Connacht by Diarmaid as a balance to the [[Uí Fhiachrach]] before Aodh joined the alliance against him.<ref>Charles-Edwards, lch.&nbsp;510</ref>
