Clan Cian History I
Eoghan Mor, or Eugene the Great, commonly called
Mogha Nuadhad in decent of Heber Fionn, first monarch of Ireland.In the year 122 A.D. at a place called Maynooth he fought a battle with Conn Ceadcatha or Conn of the Hundred Battles, who was the 110th monarch. He was in decent of Heremon, the second monarch of Ireland, younger brother of Heber Fionn. Resulting from this battle, he forced Conn to divide Ireland with him into two equal parts by the boundry of Esker Riada, a long ridge of hills from Dublin to Galway, the south part he termed his and called it after his own name, Leath Mogha, or "Mogha's Half of Ireland". The northern part was called Leath Cuinn, or Conn's Half, further requiring Conn to give his daughter in marriage to Eugene's son, Olioll Olum. The mother of Olioll Olum & wife of Eugene the Great was Beara, who was the daughter of Heber, King of Castile, Spain.
Conaire II, the 111th monarch of Ireland known as Conaire Mac Mogha Lainne, married Sarad, also a daughter of Conn, and their son Carbry Riada, first King of Dalriada meaning Riada's share, or portion in Scotland. It was this line from the Irish that was to become the same line later which founded the Kings of Scotland to Malcom III.
The marriage of Olioll Olum and Sabina produced three brothers. They were:
- Cian - whose descent were known as Clan Cian, and consisted of the Kingdom of Ely O'Carroll and Oremonde.
- Cormac Cas - whose descent was known as the Dalcassians which possessed the kingdom of Thomond, alternately the Kingdom of Munster.
- Owen Mor II - whose descent became known as the Eugenians and possessed the Kingdom of Demond, alternately the Kingdom of Munster, The seat for the Kingdom of Munster was at Castle Caiseal (Cashel).
Corc, King of Munster, who was the great grandson of Olioll Olum through Owen Mor II went to Scotland and married Mong-Fionn, daughter of Feredach Fionn, called Fionn Cormac, king of the Picts (Scottish). His descent which remained in Scotland were to become the Stewards of Lennox, of whom the Stewart Kings of Scotland and England descend.
The Clan Cian of Ely O'Carroll, the Dalcassians of Thomond, and the Eugenians of Desmond were founding factors of the Hiberian Nobility, Gentry of Munster, and other parts of Ireland.
