Everything about The Conmaicne totally explained
The
Conmaicne or Conmhaicne (descendants of Con Mhac) were an ancient tribal grouping that were divided into a number of distinct branches that were found scattered around
Ireland in the early medieval period. They take their name from a mythical ancestor known as
Con Mhac "hound son".
The
Conmaicne Mara (the Conmhaicne of the sea) were located in what is now the extreme west of
County Galway and gave their name to the territory they occupied for example
Connemara, which is the anglicised form of Conmhaicne Mara.
Other branches of the Conmhaicne located in what is now County Galway include the Conmaicne Toland and the Conmaicne Dun Mor. The former parish of Kilconickny, which means
"church of the Conmaicne"is located west of the town of
Loughrea.
The
Diocese of Ardagh was established in
1111 as the see for east
Connacht. At the
Synod of Kells-Mellifont its area was reduced to the territory of the Conmaicne with the kingdom of
Breifne forming a new
Diocese of Kells.
