Notes

[1] Cathal: With this Cathal some annalists associate his brother Teige as joint King of Connaught: both were sons of Murghios, who is No. 29 on this List.

[2] Conchobhar: Some annalists also say that Morogh, son of Hugh, was King of Connaught next after this Connor (latinized “Conquovarus”); and that said Morogh was contemporary with the 165th Monarch of Ireland.
