Tigernán Ua Ruairc[edit]

Hi Blorgina, I notice that you changed "corrected notion that Tigernán's kingdom was confined to western half of Bréifne" in the Tigernán Ua Ruairc. Do you have a source for this information that you could site for the article? What I read stated that the kingdom was the western half of Bréifne. I am interested in this subject personally as well for genealogical reasons. Spazm 17:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Spazm, that was off the top of my head, but it would be found in the New History of Ireland, vol.2 (ed. Art Cosgrove), also Irish society, Anglo-Norman settlers, Angevin kingship : interactions in Ireland in the late twelfth century / Marie Therese Flanagan. Also there are a couple of articles in the Journal 'Breifne', also a fair quantity of annalistic references. I will have a check and let you have the articles more precisely. Essentially it was only after Tigernan's death, (and complicated by the fact that one of his sons, and it seems the one who was going to succeed him, was killed by the Anglo-Normans), that the Ui Raghallaigh of east Breifne, who had previously been subordinate to the Ui Ruairc, came to the fore and gained full control of the eastern half, partly by forging alliances with the Anglo-Normans. The diocesan centre of Breifne was at Kilmore, Co. Cavan, which is on the boundary of east and west, and this was only decided mid-12th c, and as a result of political influence, indicative of the fact that Tigernan used such boundary places to cement the loyalty of his subjects.
