[The History of Ireland by Geoffrey Keating]
(London: Irish Text Society 1902-1914)
In giving the dates in parentheses after kings, popes, etc, the years that marked the limits of their reigns are given, in other cases the figures stand for the dates of their birth and death. The figures indicating the age of the world and those denoting the Christian era differ so widely in amount that they need not in general be otherwise distinguished.
The nominative case, singular or plural, is given as far as possible, and in the spelling of the text, an h being placed after the aspirated (dotted) letters; the sineadh fada, however, is not given; to discover where it is used recourse must be had to the text.
The same word, as Ui Neill, Oirghialla, Laighin, etc., frequently stands for the tribe and the district. Originally it was a name for the tribe. Keating’s geography of Ireland is expressed largely in terms of the tribal and district names as they existed before the Norman Invasion and for a considerable period thereafter. As happens in geography extending over a very long and troubled period, some names represent districts which partially or wholly overlap. Some tribe names also that at one period represented flourishing tribes situated in continuous areas at a later time represent merely a broken and battered clan of precarious existence and shifting position.
The extent of territory covered by a given name varied with the centuries; Ulaidh and Oirghialla may be cited as instances of this. Hence in determining the places represented by Keating’s names we must be broadly guided by the period of which he is speaking. Keating, of course, took most of his geography from the documents whose substance he transferred to his pages, and whose very words he modernised and often adopted without appreciable change.
Terms contracted as indicated below are sometimes written in full, or nearly so; there are besides some contractions which only apply to the articles in which they occur and will be readily understood; some common or obvious contractions have been employed which are not recorded in the accompanying list.
The use of parentheses ( ) will in general. be plain from the context; among other uses they sometimes mark a personal or place name for greater clearness, thus: Rossa Ruadh, f. of Oilill (husband of Meadhbh), shows that it is Oilill not Rossa Ruadh who was husband of Meadhbh; with regard to personal names, the information given in the text is not sufficient to distinguish them in all cases.
In the spelling of proper names there is some slight diversity. Thus terminal -as and -us are identical, e.g., Ceanannas and Ceannanus are equivalent, also Diarmuid and Diarmaid, etc. Indeed a and u are often used as equivalent, thus one finds Cathasuch and Cathusach mutually interchanged. In Vol I. the diphthong eu is used where ea is employed in Vols. II. and III.
[Transcriber’s Note: King’s County and Queen’s County are now called Offaly and Laois (Leix) respectively.]

Daimhliag, “stone house or church,” Duleek, a small town in the bar. of Lower Duleek, 5 miles south west of Drogheda, Co. Louth. Daimhliag Chiarain, “Duleek of Ciaran,” seems identical with Diaimhliag; Duleek seems to be the church intended; Daimhlaig Chiarain is said, in a Stonyhurst MS. of the year 1700, quoted in Onom., to lie between Cill Maighneann (Kilmainhan) and Lughmhagh (Louth); there was a Daimhliag Cluana Mic Nois, but it was not built till the year 904, and could not be the edifice referred to here; Daimhliag Chiarain seems a mistake for Daimhliag Chianain. It was St. Cianan who built Daimhliag or Duleek of Meath which was supposed to be the first stone church built in Ire.; the passage in Cogadh Gaedhel re Gallaibh which K. follows here has “Damliag Cianain' which confirms the theory that Daimhliag Chiarain is an error for Daimhliag Chianain, v.

Dairinis, “oak island,” a monastery on the Abhann Mhor or Blackwater, about 21/2 miles north west of Youghal, in Co. Water., now called Molana from St. Maolanfaidh, its patron Saint; v. Fm. I. 343; al. Dairinis Maolanfaidh; there was another monastery on an island of the same name in Wexford Harbour; Dairinis of the Abhann Mhor is not now an island; pl. by the Lochlonnaigh; from the context of this reference it would seem that D. was in or near Eoghanacht Locha Lein; O’Rahilly in his poem “Bhalentin Brun” says; Dairinis thiar iarla nil aice ‘en chlainn uir, Dairinis in the west has not an earl of the noble race. He is referring to the downfall of the Mac Carthys and Mac Carthy Mor was earl of Valentia, while the island of that name is called Oilean Dairbhre in Irish; it is thus not unlikely that O’Rahilly means the Island of Valentia west of Kerry when he speaks of Dairinis. Dairsidhigh, the Darcys, come to Ire. at the Norman Invasion. Dal nAruidhe, extended from Newry to Sliabh Mis (now Slemmish, Co.

L. by Lughaidh Laighdhe; the context would seem to show that it is the same as Dal Mescorp of Lec., and near Tara.

Fian, g. Feine, dat. Fein, a semi-military semi-hunting body of men organised to help the kings of Ire. in the administration of justice and in the defence of the harbours. That the method of cooking meat attributed to the Fian, is old world, and has been and still is practised by primitive peoples will appear if the passage beginning “And it was their custom to send... “ be compared with the following; “Their usual methods of cooking are roasting and boiling. Roasting is usually effected by making a fire, letting it die down into red-hot ashes, and then putting the food without wrap or covering into the ashes, turning it from time to time. They also roast by holding the food on sticks in the flame of the burning fire, turning it occasionally. Stone cooking is adopted for pig and other meats. They make a big fire, on the top of which they spread stones; when the stones are hot enough they remove some of them, place the meat without wrap or covering on the others, then place the removed stones on the meat, and finally pile on these stones a big covering of leaves to keep in the heat. Stone-cooking in the gardens is done in a slightly different way; there they dig in the ground a round hole about one foot deep and from 4 to 2 feet in diameter, and in this hole they make their fire, on which they pile their stones, and the rest of the process is the same as before. This hole-making process is never adopted in the village. The only reason for it which was suggested was that the method was quicker and that in the gardens they are in a hurry. Of course holes of this sort dug in the open village enclosure would be a source of danger, especially at night.” From “ The Mafulu Mountain People of British New Guinea.” Robert W. Williamson (Macmillan, 1912).

Labhan Draoi, “Labhan the Druid,” a poet of Alba, story of his getting an eye from Eochaidh Aontsula.
Labhraidh, s. of Cairbre, s. of Ollamh Fodla, of race of Ir,. Labhraidh Loingseach, “L. the Mariner or Exile,” s. of Oilill Aine, k. Ire. 10 years; al. called Maon; first to introduce into Ire. laighne or spears with broad greenish blue heads (whence are named Laighin or Leinstermen); an. of all true Leinstermen of the race of Eireamhon except O Nuallain; story of his having horse’s ears; an. of Diarmaid Mac Murchadha; the story of the horse’s ears is of course only a variant of the story of Midas the Phrygian king, if even that be the original; Midas decided a musical contest which was between Apollo and Marsyas (or Pan) against the god, and hence his ears were changed into those of an ass. He hid them under his Phrygian cap, but his barber discovered the secret which so weighed him down that he relieved the strain by whispering it to the ground through a hole he had made. He covered in the hole, but reeds grew above it which kept repeating the secret. The phrase “Ta dha chluais capaill ar Labhra Ua Loinsiglh.' Labhra O’Lynch has two horse’s ears “is still said or sung in Irish- speaking districts.

Lacy, Hugo de, one of five Norman leaders of evil deeds;; sl. by a young nobleman in the guise of a clown, according to K.; Au. says he was sl. by Ua Miadhaigh (O’Meyey) of Breghmuna at the instigation of Sinnach (or. Fox) Ua Catharnaigh, and Fm. says it was Gilla gan Mathair O’Meyey who slew him at the instigation of “Sionnach” and of O’Breen; the old translation of the Au. in the British Museum has: “A.D. 1186 Hugo de Lacy killed by a workman. Hugh de Lacy spoyler of churches and privileges of Ireland, killed by one of Brewny by the Fox O Catharny, etc.”; it would seem from this passage that the translator rendered O Miadhaigh by “a workman.” From the Annals of Kilronan we learn that O Meyey was foster-son of the Fox, chief of Teffia. In none of the existing Irish accounts is the incident given precisely as in K., nor is it probable that K. ever saw the old translation of Au. which says he was sl. by a workman; K. may have used a document now lost, v. Fm. II. 72; and Orpen, I. 67.

Leabhar Gabhala, “Book of Invasion,” generally in K. an L. G., “the Book of Invasion,” there are several such tracts in the old books and it is not clear to which K. is referring when he says an L. G.; in three passages he speaks of na Leabhair G., “the Books of Invasion,” which is a just description of the facts. In one passage he refers to “a certain L. G.” and in another he calls Cin Droma Sneachta a L. G. It seems certain that K. never saw O’Clery’s Leabhar Gabhala which was compiled in 1630-1631. In compiling this work O’Clery does not put any ancient tract forward as an L. G., but he gives his sources which are: Leabhar Bhaile Ui Mhoilchonaire, which was copied from Leabhar na hUidhre, Leabhar Bhaile Ui Chleirigh, written in the time of Maoilseachlainn, s. of Domhnall, k.

Leabhar Muimhneach, “Book of Munster,” an interesting historical and genealogical tract, beginning with the Creation and dealing with the history of Ire., but especially of the Southern province. No ancient copy of it is now known to exist. It has much genealogical information about the great Munster families; a good paper copy will be found in 23 G 1, R.I.A..

IV. 2 contains this tract in its original form. It certainly is clearer than K. in some boundary items. It is, moreover, highly probable that this very MS. D. IV. 2 was used by K., for besides the present tract, the story of the crosans is verbally identical in K. (v. archaic version of the prose part), and in D. IV. 2; Lloyd, G. J..

Normandie, Normandy, a province of old France bordering on the English Channel, and opposite to England; at the beginning of the fifth century it corresponded to Provincia Lugdunensis Secunda of Roman Geography. It was then occupied by Gaulish tribes, the chief town being Civitas Rotomagensium or Rouen; in 911 the Normans or Northmen after many hostile incursions, settled down in this territory and gave it the name of Normandy. In 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, was crowned k. of England. From 1106 to 1204 Normandy was in unbroken union with England. The old duchy corresponds roughly to the departments of Seine Inferieure, Eure, Calvados, Mance, and Orne. In K.’s text lucht na Normandie and similar expressions mean the Northmen, Norsemen, Scandanavians or Lochlonnaigh in general; while when treating of the invasion of Ire. under Henry I. he uses Normandie in its strict sense, that duchy being then united to the English crown; the clergy of the Irish ports, he tells us in two passages, who were themselves a remnant of the Lochlonnaigh, chose to be under the archbishop of Canterbury, as England was then ruled by the descendants of the dukes of Normandy in which their own race had settled a couple of centuries previously.
