An difríocht idir athruithe ar: "Uí Bhriúin"

Cé go gcreideann Francis Byrne agus John O'Donovan gurbh as ''Mag nAí'' an chlann ó dhúchas, luann Roderic O'Flaherty agus John Colgan na scéalta inste faoi Naoimh Pádraig<ref>Roderic O'Flaherty, ''Ogygia'', iml. II, cuid III, lch. 293.</ref> agus Felartus,<ref>John Colgan, ''Acta Sanctorum Hiberniae'', lch. 788.</ref> agus iad ag tabhairt cuairte ar mhic Briúin ar Mhaigh Seola. De bharr an mhearbhaill a bhaineann le suíomh an 'Mag Selce' luaite sa [[Vita tripartita Sancti Patricii]], mholl Nicholls gur bogadh ar chúiseanna polaitiúla áit dúchais Uí Bhriúin chuig gar de Ráth Cruachan faoin am [[Tíreachán|Tíreacháin]].<ref>K. W. Nicholls, "Some Patrician Sites of Eastern Connacht", ''Dinnseanchas'' 5:4 (1973), lch. 118.</ref> Tugann MacCotter le fios nach mbeadh ar fáil ag muintir Uí Bhriúin ar ''Mag nAí'' agus iad ag teacht chun cinn ach cúpla paróiste sibhialta.<ref>Paul MacCotter, ''Medieval Ireland: Territorial, Political and Economic Divisions'', lch. 209.</ref>

 

 

 

''With the inclusion of Máenach mac Báethíne,<ref>ACM 649.3.</ref> ancestors of all three major branches of the dynasty are mentioned in the annals as residing or fighting in the Maigh Seola region in the 7ú haois. The district to the east of [[Loch Coirib]] is referred to as "Magh Ua mBriuin" at least as late as 1149.<ref>ACM 1149.13.</ref> This likely denotes the domain of the "rí Uí Bhriúin", a title borne primarily by men of the Uí Bhriúin Seóola.<ref>Anne Connon, "Uí Briúin" in ''Medieval Ireland: An Encyclopedia'', lch. 486.</ref> As Knox points out, these kings were distinguished at an early date from the Síol Muireadhaigh of central Ros Comáin in the [[Leabhar na gCeart]], suggesting that the lands of the Uí Bhriúin Seola were the original Uí Bhriúin.<ref>Hubert Thomas Knox, ''The History of the County of Mayo to the Close of the Sixteenth Century'', lch. 20.</ref>
