The following genealogy, based on ancient Irish manuscript sources, traces the ancestry of Cinaeth Mac Croinghille (died 976 A.D.), King of the Conaille Muirtheimhne, back through Conaille Anghlonnach, from whom the Conaille Muirtheimhne were named, and back to his roots in Múscraighe and the ancestor of the Conaille dynasty, Aonghus Tuirmheach.
Unfortunately, there are three different versions of the ancestry of Conaille Anghlonnach to be found in the Mac Fhirbhis genealogies, all of which are represented in the versions below.
THE TERRITORY OF THE CONAILLE MUIRTHEIMHNE
The only information that this writer has been able to find relating to the borders of the lands occupied by the Conaille Muirtheimhne is the they were in "North Louth" and this is represented in the map below. Although it has been included, it is unlikely that the territory stretched into the Carlingford peninsula as this area was occupied by other tribes. Accordingly, the writer would be pleased to receive any definite information on the limits of the land of the Conaille Muirtheimhne.
