Web Notes notes for Diarmait MacMáil Na mBó High King Of Ireland
From book "Kings and Queens of Britain" by David Williamson, p234: King of Leinster and High King of Ireland
From "A New History Of Ireland", vol IX, p134:
65th King of Leinster 1042-1072, co-king with his son, Murchad
High King of All Ireland
Dairmaid mac Maol-na-mBo
In the past 30 years there has been a resurgence in Irish history. This resurgence has uncovered many new facts that alter our view of Irish history. The list of great Irish kings include Brian Boru and Turlough O'Connor as well as Neil of the Nine Hostages. A name rarely mentioned however, is Dairmaid mac Maol-na-mBo (Dermot mac Mal na mBo, mac meaning son of and Mal na mBo referring to Dermot's father's desire to raid often for cattle. Bo means cow in Gaelic).
Dermot first appears in the annals in 1042. He was elected as chief of Ui Cinnsealaigh (their lands being located in southern Leinster) and he began to build his power. He sacked Waterford and for the next 20 years is warring with the O'Briens of Munster, finally defeating them. At his death in 1171, he is called the King of Ireland (with opposition), King of Wales, King of the Isles (islands between England and Ireland including the Isle of Man), and King of Dublin. The only other king who can lay claim to such widespread power was Neil of the Nine Hostages.
Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (175:3). King of Hy Kinsale, who subsequently usurped the high kingship of Leinster. Held the overlordship of Ossory, Dublin, and other local kingdoms. Kelley's "The Ancestry of Eve of Leinster" (The Genealogist, 1980) I:23.
Nenagh was burned a second time by Diarmid, King of Leinster, in 1056. This event is recorded in the Annals of the Four Masters. "1056 A.D., Diarmid, the son of Maelnambo, marched on a predatory excursion into Munster, and burned Dun Mac na nInguir (Dungar), near Roscrea, Aenach Thete (Nenagh), and Dun Furuadrain." The same event is recorded in the Annals of Innisfalloen in the year 1059. "Dairmid mac Maelnambo marched with a ravaging army into Munstere, and burnt Dun Iongar, Aenach Teide, and Dun Fuaradrain. Forlough O'Brien was with him on that occasion."57
