Muirgeas ua Cú Ceanainn

Muirgeas ua Cú Ceanainn (died 1037) was King of Uí Díarmata.

Overview

Muirgeas was a grandson of Cú Ceanain mac Tadhg, and seems to have reigned from 1021 to 1037. He was the first member of the Uí Díarmata dynasty to use the name ua Cú Ceanainn in a quasi-surname context. All subsequent kings and lords of Uí Díarmata, to the end of the 16th century, would use it as a surname, latter-day Concannon.

Events of his reign in Connacht and Ireland included:
