He commissioned the embellishment of the shrine of the Book of Dimma in the late 14th century, and his patronage was acknowledged on teh shrine in the Lombardic inscription 'Tatheus O Kearbvill Rei De Elu Meipsum Deaurauit'. Both shrine and manuscript are housed in the Library at Trinity College, Dublin. Teige, along with 800 of his men, was slain by the English at Callan in 1407 and is styled in the annals of the Four Masters (1383 and 1421) as "a general benefactor to the clergy of Ireland.'9
Fionn, King of Ely who died 1205 A.D. was succeeded by his son Teige, and that succession continued through his grandson Donal of Litterluna as Chiefs of Ely until the Chiefship transferred to the rival branch in descent of Fionn's other grandson Maolruanaidh ( Mulroona) of which this elected Chief's name was also Teige. He married Joan, daughter of James Butler, the Second Earl of Ormonde, who was the great grandson of English King Edward I. Teige later married Morew, daughter of Brian O'Brien, King of Thomond. It was this same Teige that went on a pilgrimage to Rome, and on his return, visited the courts of King Richard II, and the King of France. While at court with King Richard of England, he and Teige had a falling out and disagreed about certain political
decisions. Teige returned back to southern Ireland to await King Richard's army which was threatening to invade the Kingdom of Ely O'Carroll. In 1395 A.D. Teige O'Carroll and Clan Cian (race of Carroll) defeated the forces of King Richard II which had invaded Ely, under the command of Roger Mortimer, Earl of March.
