Conall Gulban (died c. 464), was an Irish king </wiki/King> who founded the kingdom of Tír Conaill in the 5th century, comprising much of what is now County Donegal . He was the son of Niall Noígiallach .[1]
His byname Gulban derives from Benn Gulban (the mountain of Benbulban) in Co.Sligo. From which center the sons of Niall set out upon their conquest of the north.[2] King Conall Gulban was murdered by the Masraige at Magh Slécht (Co.Cavan) in 464. He was buried by Saint Caillin at Fernagh, Co.Leitrim.[3]
He was apparently very close to his brother Eógan mac Néill who died of grief over his brother's death the next year.[4]
His sons included Fergus Cendfota, Dauí (founder of the Cenél nDuach) and Énna Bogaine (founder of the Cenél mBogaine)
Descendants
His descendants were known as the Cenél Conaill .
The Peninsula of Inishowen in Donegal was fought for by the Dochartaigh (known modernly as Doherty, Daugherty, Docherty, Dougherty, etc.) clan who were then given the titles as Princes of Donegal. This family also descends from Conall (see Clann Ua Dochartaig).
The Cenél nEógain , descended from his brother, Eoghan, became the other premier Uí Néill sept in In Fochla (also known as In Tuisceart ). Their kingdom was known as Tír Eógain . Modern day County Tyrone shares both its name and much of its territory. Its respective royal dynasties, the Kings of Tir Connaill and the Kings of Tír Eógain . Its last de jure native rulers fled abroad in the episode known as The Flight of the Earls , but as with all the major Irish kingships, the line of descent continues into the present day.
