Eóganacht Locha Léin

__NOTOC__Eóganacht Locha Léin or Ui Caipre Luachra were a branch of the ruling Eoganachta of Munster. There territory was in Iarmuman or West Munster. Luachair (Lúachra) is the old name of a large district on the borders of Co Cork, Kerry and Limerick. Cairbre of Sliobh Luachra was on the Cork-Kerry border; Éoganacht Locha Lein is around the Lakes of Killarney. ["Book of Munster"]

The ancestor of this branch was Caipre Luachra mac Cuirc, son of Conall Corc mac Lugdach (the founder of Cashel) by Mungfionn daughter of Feredach, King of the Picts of Scotland. Caipre Luachra was a sixth generation descendant of Eógan Mor, ancestor of the Eoganachta. Caibre went west over Luachair Deadhaid (Slieveloughra) to found the lands of his dynasty ["Book of Munster"]

Ruling septs of Éoganacht Locha Lein included Úa Cathail, Úa Flainn, Úa Muircheartaigh, and Úa Cerbaill. By the 12th century the Úa Donnchadhadominate. ["Annals of Innisfallen"]

The Loch Lein branch had a free client relationship with the kings of Cashel and were often called kings of Íarlúachair [T.M.Charles-Edwards] orkings of Loch Lein in the annals. The Loch Lein branch rarely provided kings of Cashel and were not part of the inner circle of Eoganachta. They included [T.M.Charles-Edwards, "Early Christian Ireland" ] :
*Dauí Iarlaithe mac Maithni (c.500)
*Áed Bennán mac Crimthainn, died 618
*Máel Dúin mac Áedo, died 786
*Ólchobar mac Cináeda, died 851
