My g-grandfather's uncle was Col John O'Mahony, the founder of the IRB and coiner of the term "Fenian." You don't hear much about him in Ireland, due to the historical revisionism that excludes "agrarian terrorists" from our history. He was CO of the 99th Regiment, New York National Guard, during the American Civil War. His nephew, John Mandeville, was the leader of the Cork Land League in 1887, till he was "done to death by Lord Balfour's government," according to the Coroner's Report.

Not sure if Brain Baru would invite a bad guy to join his forces, but there it is at 7:23 of the video. Beautifully done.

The forerunner of Scottish clans were kindreds, a more Irish interpretation of a similar groupings. It far too easy to presume that Ireland gave birth to Scotland, as kin relationships existed on both sides of the North Channel since early Celtic times, even before the Christian era. The legendary ‘Three Collas‘ were the first Prince’s of a united Dalriada, a wise way of conjoining two civilisations on either side of the water. The marriage of Irish born Riata’s son Eochaid to Aerlech a princess of Alba, was the beginning of a Gaelic speaking, seafaring Celtic Kingdom.

Have you done any research on the surname Treacy? That’s my Dads name, I consider myself Anglo Irish with a massive Irish family mainly coming from the Galway/ Roscommon region; but there are rumours within the family that we are actually from Kildare near or outside of Dublin. I’m comprising a book and need all the information I can get on our name. (Sorry my question isn’t really related to the video) our ancient clan name was O’Treasaigh and since those days members of this clan and our cousin clans seem to have broken off and with all the different spelling variations it is hard to trace our origins.

The O’Catháin clan was likely involved in the unrest to the North. As one of the closest and primary branches of O’Neill clan. It May have been around this time when we began to act as a military arm of the O’Neill’s. Many O’Catháin lads would go on to make a name for themselves on the battlefield. One of them still being entombed in Dungiven Priory, his tomb covered in images of Gallowglass warriors. Sadly not much is known bout him, and what is known is spotty and may be romanticized, it we may never know.

@@Clans_Dynasties I can find no reference to a Pope recognizing Brian Boru as "Imperator Scotorum". Which Pope was that? Have you a source? (Please note that the plaque in Rome reading "In the year of Our Lord 1064, Donatus O’Brienus, King of Cashel and Thomond, son of Brian Boru, Monarch of All Ireland, gave the royal crown as a gift to the Pope. " mentions no specific Pope and was put up many centuries later by persons unknown). It seems more likely that "Imperator Scotorum" was Brian Boru's own estimation of himself, or his ambition for himself. I would suggest that the inter-Irish wars (not rebellions") of Brian's "reign" were not by "rulers trying to gain independence from Brian's overlordship" but rather of rulers trying to reassert their existing traditional rights of independence. Perhaps they could bring themselves to concede him a traditional, toothless High King but not his new invention of "Imperator Scotorum? A historical parallel might be Bonaparte crowning himself "Emperor Napoleon", but at least he did so in an existing consolidated state. Brian Boru seems to have come as close as anyone to creating an all-island Irish state, but not quite close enough. His death while still opposed as "Imperator Scotiorum" may have dashed that cup from Ireland's lips for a millenium.

I apologise. I meant recognised by the church and by church. I mean Armagh, and yes, this was no doubt bought loyalty, but again, this is no different to any other king of the period, where church support from large ecumenical sites throughout Europe were important to legitimise a rulers right to rule. This argument of reasserting traditional right to independence again can be made by any Lord who rebelled during the medieval period including in Ulster itself against the Ui Neill who themselves expanded into the rest of Ulster from Inishowen, regardless these families did submit to his rule, but ultimately it comes round to my original point that his rule was no different to any other king from England to France or Spain.

My husband is a Hurst from Co. Fermanagh with O'Neill, O'Brien, and Connors ancestors. There is one first name in his family tree that I cannot find and wonder if it is misspelled -Lerasay. Would you have any idea what this is? It doesn't appear there was a marriage or descendants from Lerasay. Thank you!

Lerasay doesn't sound Irish but it still could be. Irish names could have a Gaelic, Norman, Norse, English, Scotish or Welsh source. Also many Irish who settled in French Canada, France and Spain had their names changed to sound more like the everyday language spoken in the area or country. You'll find Spanish Irish in South America who's ancestors left Ireland in the 1600s.

I couldn't name all surnames associated with people who may have attended the battle, but if you are descended from the Tooheys of Galway or Clare, it is highly possible your ancestor attended.

Well, I'm pretty sure my family's ancestors fought in the battle. It might be in our blood. Our family name, Leonard, definitely traces back but i can't trace it further than 1840, upper New York in the Americas... but each father named his firstborn son after himself for generations: John William Leonard. To ensure continuity with Ireland, my ancestors always married an Irish woman from Ireland. Anyhow, we have a strong military tradition going back; my great uncle, CPT Patrick G. Leonard, USMC died in Saipan. My other great uncle was a Jesuit priest. I myself served for over 20 years in the US Army, seeing combat and being deployed to a number of countries. It sure would be nice to know more about where my family comes from, though to be sure, I am an American. On a side note, my great great great Grandmother O'Leary is famous for another reason. Her cow burned down Chicago.

These battles apparently ebbed and flowed all day with forays being made by different “taoisaigh” or leaders .. most of the Irish chieftains leading from the front as was their custom reportedly were killed on the day . To The Irish women camp followers lay the task at the end of battle of finishing off any Viking wounded and stripping the corpses of arms and valuable items .

Thank you very much. This has been pointed out before this part of my accent it is known as t-glottalization or t-glottalling found in some Ulster dialects, although I didn't realise how often I said the word before having it pointed out so I'm working to improve my enunciation of words and to limit repetition where possible in the future. I appreciate the comment, though, so thank you again.
