Donnchadh Cairbreach Ó Briain

Donnchadh Cairbreach Ó Briain was King of Thomond from 1198 to his death in 1242.

Reign

He was one of the three sons of Domnall Mór Ua Briain. His father died in 1198 and his brother Muircheartach Dall was blinded by the Normans, his other brother Conchobhar Ruadh was killed in 1198 and Donnchadh began his reign. The MacConmara and Ó Cuinn clans revolted against him and he defeated the revolt with the help of his brother-in-law de Burgh and other Normans. In return he granted Limerick and lands in Tipperary and (modern) County Limerick to the Normans, reducing Thomond to the area of the modern-day County Clare, protected from further incursions by the River Shannon.[1]

Family[2]

He married Sadhbh Ua Cinnéidigh and had six known children:

Conchobhar na Siudane
Toirdhealbhach
Muircheartach
Diarmaid
Tadhg Dall
Sláine - Abbess of Killowen
