Suibne mac Cináeda

Suibne mac Cináeda

Suibne mac Cináeda (d.1034) (also known as Suibne son of Cinaeth in some works) was a king of the Norse-Gaels (Gall-Gáedil). His death is recorded by the Annals of Ulster

:"Suibne son of Cinaed, king of the Gallgaedil, died" [The Annals of Ulster; [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100001A/ Corpus of Electronic Texts Edition] ; U1034.10; p473]

and the Annals of Tigernach in 1034.

Although sometimes associated with Galloway, which may possibly derived from the Gall-Gáedil, he is possibly the eponymous ancestor of the MacSween Clan ("MacSuibhne") who were found in Knapdale, in the area of Loch Sween where Castle Sween was built in the 12th century.

If Suibne was ruler of Galloway, nothing is known of his reign at present, nor of his successors. Indeed it is not until Fergus of Galloway (ruled c. 1120–1161) that records are properly kept.

Some interpretations of placename evidence suggests his kingdom stretched over modern day Galloway, Carrick, and Nithsdale, perhaps even into upper Douglasdale (ref. Companion).
