Eoghan, Mog Nuadat, who returned from banishment in Spain to rule the south of Ireland, counties Leinster and Munster. This was called Leth Mog, or Mog's Half, or "Half of the Servant."
- from Encyclopedia Britannica
How were Irish kings selected? They were normally 'elected' from any one of the males comprised in the "deirbhfhine", the descendants of a deceased chief to the fourth generation. Election frequently originated from higher level kings and overlords,
and kings were often "selected" after battling with rival claimants. The old law tract 'The Five Paths of Judgement' states that any would-be king must be the son of a king and the grandson of a king. A man whose father ruled before him, but not his
grandfather, was known as a middle-ranking king. The candidate must also be of good legal standing, be not guilty of theft, be physically unblemished, and also be a man of property.
Early 'Brehon Law' specify three grades of king:
- king of the local "tuath" or tribal kingdom.
- king of a larger territory and overlord of a group of local tuaths.
- king of a province, consisting of multiple territories.
At a later date in Irish history the Ard-R� was created, or the king of all provinces, the High King of Ireland.
The celebrated Conn of the hundred Battles was a son of Feidlimid, the son of Tuathal - though he did not immediately succeed Feidlimid. Between them reigned Cathari Mor, who was father of thirty sons, among whom and their posterity he attempted to
divide Ireland, and from whom are descended the chief Leinster families. As Conn's title suggests, his reign was filled with battling. Conn's strenuous militancy and the suggestive title that it won for him, made him famed beyond worthier men - the
greatest pride of some of the noblest families of the land a thousand years and more after his time trace back their descent to him of the Hundred Battles. Conn's life and reign were ended by his assassination at Tara. Fifty robbers hired by the king
of Ulster, came to Tara, dressed as women, and treacherously despatched the Monarch. Conn's son in law, Conaire II, who succeeded him as monarch - for his son Art was then but a child - is famed as father of three Carbris, namely Carbri Musc, from whom
was named the territory of Muskerry, Carbri Baiscin, whose descendants peopled Corca Baiscin in Western Clare, and most notable of them, Carbri Riada, who, when there was a famine in the South, led his people to the extreme Northeast of Ireland, and
some of them across to the nearest part of Scotland, where they settled, forming the first important colony of Scots (Irish) in Alba, and driving there the edge of the Irish wedge which was eventually to make the whole country known as the land of the
Scots (Irish).
