Commentary
Stewart Baldwin believes he could be descended from "Cenn Fáelad mac Colgan, d. ca. 682, king of Connacht" through "five intermediate generations which have no confirmation in sources like the annals."

Stewart Baldwin: 'Murchad's pedigree is not in R or LL, the two earliest texts, but there is no good reason to doubt the accuracy of the pedigree at least back to Cenn Fáelad mac Colgan, king of Connacht in the seventh century. See also the genealogical tables in IKHK, p. 299, and J. V. Kelleher, "Uí Maine in the Annals and Genealogies to 1225", Celtica 9 (1971), 61-111 (Plate IV at p. 111)'
