Biography

Muirchertach mac Maelruanaidh Mor was the second king of Moylurg, but is very obscure; not even the dates of his reign are known. He was succeeded by his son Tadhg.^[1]

Research Note

The old genealogies and annals references to Mael Ruinaid Mor, the progenitor of the Ui Maelruanaid, as the son of Tadg mac Cathal Ua Conchobar, has been shown by recent DNA studies as not genetically possible. Therefore his descendants and the corresponding dates in which they lived are speculative. Data gathered by the Sons of Aodh FTDNA project^[2], the Dal Cuinn Group^[3], and Michael Rowley ^[4][5]suggest the Ui Maelruanaid are a separate branch of the Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin.

The date of birth for these early Irish are rarely given. The dates used for each individual is based on my system that uses 27 years per ‘generation’, 54 years between mutations. Since the date of death for many are approximations, any age at death over ~85 is adjusted one ‘generation’.
