Father: Erc, King of Dalriada, d. 474
After his father died, Fergus Mor became king of Dalriada. The previous colony of Dalriada and Argyle was driven out by the Picts. In 503 (or 498) Fergus Mor returned with an army to establish the kingdom of Scotia Minor. It is believed he brought with him the Stone of Destiny, or Lia Fail. This stone was placed under the throne of Scotland and all kings of Scotland took their oath over it until it was taken by King Edward I of England. It is because of this stone that all Scottish kings are crowned at Scone.

He was the one hundred thirty first monarch of Ireland and the first king of Scottish Dalriada.

Mother: Mes Buachalla
Conaire slew Nuadha Neacht to become the ninety-seventh monarch of Ireland and was known as the "Peace King".

The Annals of the Four Masters says: "It was in the reign of Conaire that the sea annually cast its produce ashore, at Inbhear Colptha. Great abundance of nuts were annually found upon the Boinn Boyne and the Buais during his time. The cattle were without keepers in Ireland in his reign, on account of the greatness of the peace and concord. His reign was not thunder producing or stormy, for the wind did not take a hair off the cattle from the middle of Autumn to the middle of Spring. Little but the trees bent from the greatness of their fruit during his time."

Eogan

Father: Ailill Lactighe
Mother: Medb (Maeve)
Most sources do not list an Eogan as a son of Ailill and Medb. I have placed him in the spot where an Eochaid is normally listed. This would make him Maine Andoe ("swift"). We are still researching this family but reliable records are difficult to find.

Children:

  1. Eterscel, m. Mes Buachalla, d. ABT 111 BC in Aillinn, Ireland, cause of death was slaying by Nuadha Neacht.

Ailill Lactighe

Father: Iar
Mother: Máta Muirisc
It is possible that Ailill and his father, Iar, have been reversed in the listing; making Ailill the father and Iar his son. He is often called Ailill mac Máta, taking the name of his mother.

Ailill was chief of Medb’s bodyguard when he began an affair with her. Her husband at that time, Eochaid Dála, challenged him to single combat and lost. Ailill then married Medb.

Spouse: Medb (Maeve), m. Conchobar mac Nessa, King of Ulster, m. Eochaid Dála, d. Inchcleraun, Lough Ree, Ireland, cause of death was being hit with a piece of cheese from a sling while bathing, bur. at Knocknarea, County Sligo, Ireland or Rathcroghan, County Roscommon, Ireland

Father: Eochaidh Feidhleach, King of Ireland, d. ABT 131 BC in Tara, Ireland
Mother: Cloithfinn
Maeve is responsible for the Cattle Raid of Cooley. She also killed her sister while her sister was pregnant with the child of Conchobar, her own former husband. The child, Furbaide, was born posthumously, and many years later got revenge for his mother’s death by killing Medb while she was bathing by shooting her with a piece of cheese using a sling he had been practicing with.

Medb may have been a figurative character who was ritually married to the king and not an actual, single person, similar to Medb Lethderg at Tara many years before. However, in my opinion, that would only mean that Medb was not her real name, not that she did not exist. While many "scholars" believe that such things as her name meaning "one who intoxicates", and being the basis for the word "mead", removes the credibility of the story, I believe it actually lends more credibility to it as it occurred at a time when there was less differentiation between "names" and "words": i.e. Medb or Maeve is a name given to someone due to their personality or character.
Married.

  2. Cairbre (Maine Máthramail "like his mother")

  6. Sin (Maine Mílscothach "honey-speech")
  7. Dáire (Maine Móepirt "beyond description")
  8. Findabair, m. Fráech, cause of death was from the shame of being used as bait which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of men

Iar

Father: Dedad (Deagadh)
Some sources say the father of Ailill was Rus Ruad, King of Laigin, or maybe that he was the grandson of his wife Medb’s sister Ele. The siblings listed here are recorded as children of Rus Ruad.
