Biography

Cobhlaith Mór was a member of the Uí Chronchobair dynasty, whose Síol Muireadaigh ancestors had been Kings of Connacht since the 7th century. Her father, Cathal mac Domhnall Ó Conchobair, reigned 1318–24 and was the first Ó Conchobhair Sligigh; his ancestor, Tairrdelbach Ua Conchobair (died 1156), was one of the last native Kings of Ireland

Ní Conchobhair was an affluent Irish woman and the preserver of Gaelic customs at a time when they were being undermined by Edward III of England.[1] In 1367, Gaelic traditions had been declared illegal by the Statutes of Kilkenny.[1]

Her obituary states she was married to the following Gaelic kings:

  1. Niall Ó Domhnaill, King of Tír Chonaill
  2. Aodh Ó Ruairc, King of Breifne
  3. Cathal mac Aedh Breifneach Ó Conchobair, a ríoghdhamhna and brother to Aedh mac Aedh Breifneach Ó Conchobair, king in 1342.[2]

In the Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland, Mor is referred to as "Port na-d-Tri Namhat" (trns. the port or harbor of three enemies) because her three husbands were enemies of one another.[3]

She was interred in the monastery of Boyle.
