Eóganacht Áine The clan was descended from Ailill mac Nad Froích, the brother of Óengus mac Nad Froích (died 489), the first Christian King of Munster. The Eóganacht Áine were considered part of the inner circle of Eoganachta dynasties which included the Chaisil and Glendamnach branches. These three branches rotated the kingship of Munster in the 7th and much of the 8th centuries. Greek and Latin Aldus began his professional career as a teacher, not as a printer, and as such saw a need for the publication of the Greek and Latin classical authors, whose works figured high in the Renaissance humanist agenda. While many of these works--particularly those of Latin authors and translations of those by Greek authors--had been published by the end of the fifteenth century, a large number had not yet seen print. This lack was especially acute in the case of Greek authors, and when Aldus decided to begin a printing business these authors were the ones he emphasized. His development of greek and italic fonts and the octavo format point toward a carefully planned program for the dissemination of the ancient classics. Under Aldus's program, works of numerous Greek and Latin authors were published for the first time, and works by others appeared in better editions than had previously been available. 12.

D-Lib Magazine Cenn Fáelad hua Mugthigirn Cenn Fáelad hua Mugthigirn (died 872) was a King of Munster of the Eoganachta, the ruling dynasty of Munster. He ruled from 861-872. He was also abbot of Emly from 851-872, an important monastery in County Tipperary where he succeeded a previous King of Munster, Ólchobar mac Cináeda (died 851). He was originally considered a member of the Eóganacht Airthir Cliach as a 5th generation descendant of Cormac Sriabderg, brother of Fergus Scandal mac Crimthainn (died 582), King of Munster.[1] Recent research has shown this pedigree to be faulty and it is more likely he was of the Eóganacht Áine branch and a 6th generation descendant of Garbán mac Éndai (flourished 596), King of Munster.[2] The Laud Synchronisms also refer to him as from this branch. This branch of the family was centered at Cnoc Áine (Knockaney, Limerick County) in the region of Cliú (eastern Limerick) not far from Emly. The Norse Vikings in Munster remained active in this period. Notes[edit] References[edit]

Perseus Digital Library List of kings of Munster Munster about the year 900 Ancient and Mythological Kings of Munster[edit] Historical Kings of Cashel, Iarmuman, and Munster[edit] These were not true kings of Munster until the late 7th century, when the Corcu Loígde fell entirely from power, some time after losing their grip on the Kingdom of Osraige. At and before this time also flourished the independent Uí Fidgenti and Uí Liatháin, a pair of shadowy sister kingdoms whose official origins appear to have been tampered with in the 8th century in a semi-successful attempt to integrate them into the Eóganachta political structure and genealogical scheme. Of the Eóganachta, unless noted. Kings of Munster from 970[edit] Of the Dál gCais, or, if marked (E), the Eóganacht. See also[edit] Notes[edit] References[edit] Bryne, Francis J.

Twilit Grotto -- Esoteric Archives Ólchobar mac Cináeda Ólchobar mac Cináeda (died 851) was King of Munster from 847 until his death. He may be the "king of the Irish" who sent an embassy to Frankish Emperor Charles the Bald announcing a series of victories over Vikings in Ireland in 848. Origins[edit] Ólchobar was previously thought to have belonged to the Locha Léin branch of the Eóganachta, the kindred which dominated the kingship of Munster from the 6th to the late 10th centuries, whose lands lay around the Lakes of Killarney.[1] More recent research however has shown that he was more likely a member of the Eóganacht Áine branch of the dynasty. Ólchobar is believed to have been abbot of Emly, the principal church of the Eóganachta, before he was chosen as king. Vikings[edit] Some of the Irish annals, among them the Chronicon Scotorum, record that early in Ólchobar's reign Emly was attacked by a Viking force. King of the Irish? The identity of the "king of the Irish" is not certain. Notes[edit] References[edit]
