  • Text: The believable part of the ancestry of Brian's mother Bé Bind could be given as follows. The five intermediate generations which have no confirmation in sources like the annals are of some concern, but the number of generations is about right, and we know that genealogies were being actively compiled during that period, so barring scribal errors (which we have no way of checking), it is likely that that part of the genealogy is valid. We have no reason to be so confident about the generations before Cenn Fáelad mac Colgan (other than accepting Colgú as his father's name from his patronymic), which are a string of unverified names, fading out into the period of myth and legend.

    1. Colgú [mac Áeda ...].
    2. Cenn Fáelad mac Colgan, d. ca. 682, king of Connacht.
    3. Amalgaid mac Cind Fáelad.
    4. Flann Rodba mac Amalgada.
    5. Fiangalach mac Flainn Rodba.
    6. Flaithnia mac Fiangalaig.
    7. Máenach mac Flaithnia.
    8. Murchad mac Máenaig, d. 896, king of Iarthar (West) Connacht.
    9. Aurchad mac Murchada, d. 945, king of Iarthar Connacht [Uí Briúin Seóla], m. Osnad ingen Crecháin.
    10. Bé Bind ingen Aurchada, m. (1) Cennétig mac Lorcain, d. 951, king of Tuath Muman (Thomond), m. (2) Máel Sechnaill mac Arda.
    11. Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig, d. 23 April 1014, king of Ireland.

    Aurchad's wife Osnad was a daughter of Crechán mac Angaile by his wife Cianóg ingen Cicharáin, two obscure individuals whose further ancestry is unknown, so far as I know. [See Silva Gadelica, vol. 2, pp. 488, 536, 573-4; Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie 7 (1910): 307-8.]
