Uí Fiachrach Muaidhe

The Uí Fiachrach Muaidhe were a branch of the Uí Fiachrach dynasty of the Connachta in medieval Ireland. They were centred on the Moy River valley of modern-day County Mayo, Ireland. At its largest extent, their territory, Tír Fhíacrach Múaidhe (now in County Sligo) included the territories of Irrus Domnann and Tír Amhlaidh now in County Mayo.^[1] This branch of the Ui Fiachrach was descended from Fiachnae, a brother of Ailill Molt (died 484), high king of Ireland.^[2] Later their chief sept was the Ó Dubhda (O'Dowd), princes at Carn Amalgaidh, near Killala, County Mayo.^[1]

They provided some Kings of Connacht, including:^[3]

• Dúnchad Muirisci mac Tipraite (died 683)
• Indrechtach mac Dúnchado Muirisci (died 707)
• Ailill Medraige mac Indrechtaig (died 764)
• Donn Cothaid mac Cathail (died 773)
