Ó Maolconaire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ó Maolconaire were a bardic family of Ollamh's from Connacht, many of whom were successive Ollamh Síl Muireadaigh to the Síl Muireadaigh and other Irish dynastys from possibly as early as the 12th to 17th centuries. They were chiefly historians and poets. Among their principal surviving works are the Annals of Connacht, which covers the years 1224 to 1544. Fergus Ó Maolconaire was briefly an assistant during the compilation of the Annals of the Four Masters.
