Excerpt: Congal Cech (also Congal Clen) was a king of the Cruithne of Dl nAraidi, in modern Ulster, from around 626 to 637. He was king of Ulster from 627-637 and, according to some sources, High King of Ireland. The sources for Congal's life and times are limited and generally date from long after his death. The Irish annals are for this period believed to be largely based on an annal kept on the island of Iona, where Saint Columba had founded a monastery in the middle 6th century. These annals survive only in later copies. Of these, the Annals of Ulster and the Annals of Tigernach are generally considered to be the most reliable and representative of the original material. Congal does not appear directly in Adomnn's Life of Saint Columba, another early source for Irish history, but a number of his contemporaries do and it supplies some context for events. He is mentioned in the Early Irish Law tract Brecbethaon beekeepingwritten in the later 7th century; this purports to explain Congal's epithets. He also appears later and less reliable materials such as verse and prose tales, including the Cath Maige Rtha (The Battle of Mag Rath) and Fled Din na nGd (The Feast of Dn na nGd, literally The Feast at the Fort of the Geese), both of which date from the Middle Irish period, perhaps the early 10th century for the Cath Maige Rtha and the 11th or 12th, perhaps later, for Fled Din na nGd. Those genealogies which include Congal are contradictory. While Irish history in this period is replete with the names of persons, about whom little is usually known save for their ancestry and the date and manner of their death, no early source preserves Congal's ancestry. According to later materials Congal was the son of Scandal Sciathlethan and grandson of ... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4942129
