Dal Fiachrach Suighe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dal Fiachrach Suighe (translated as "the seed of Fiachra Suighe") claimed descent from Fiachra Suighe, the youngest of six sons of Fedlimid Rechtmar. His oldest brother was Conn Cétchathach. His great-great-great-great grandsons, the four sons of Art Corb, were expelled from Tara; one group, led by Eochaid Allmhuir, settled in Dyfed, while the second group eventually in settled among The Déisi of south Munster. These events have being tied into Irish pirate raids all over the west coast of Roman Britain in the 4th and 5th centuries, and the foundation of the Irish kingdoms of Dyfed, Brecon and Cornwall on either side of the year 400.
