Prince of Conmaicne or Conmhaicne

The Conmaicne of Magh Réin were found in northwest Connacht (southern Co. Leitrim) in the territory of Bréifne. The Conmaicne Réin were chiefly divided among three clan groupings - Muintir Eolais, Cenel Luachain and Muintir Cearbhallain. Of particular note was the powerful Muintir Anghaile (O'Farrell of Annaly, co. Longford) who are also claimed to descend from the Conmaicne Réin.

The Conmhaicne or Conmaicne were an ancient tribal grouping that were divided into a number of distinct branches that were found scattered around Ireland in the early medieval period. They settled in Connacht, where they gave their name to several territories.
Their name came from a mythical ancestor known as Conmac. Conmac was in turn said to be descended from Fergus mac Roich and Queen Maeve of Connacht. The word Conmacne means "progeny of Conmac" (ne, a progeny). Conmac itself means "hound-son" (con, hound; mac, son).

Conmaicne Réin - part of Breifne in southern Co. Leitrim. The Conmaicne Réin were chiefly divided among three clan groupings - Muintir Eolais (e.g. MacRannall, Reynolds), Cenel Luachain (e.g. MacDorcy) and Muintir Cearbhallain (e.g. O'Mulvey). The early genealogies cite 'Finer' as the son of Cúscraid macCécht as, a quo Conmaicne Réin of Bréifne. They further cite Cairpre [of the] Conmaicnib Réin, that is Carpre mac Ailella (?Carpri Filed, son of Ailella Máir, in descent from Dáire Barraich mac Cathaír).
