EXPLANATORY NOTE.
In
giving the dates in parentheses after kings, popes, etc, the years that marked
the limits of their reigns are given, in other cases the figures stand for the
dates of their birth and death. The figures indicating the age of the world and
those denoting the Christian era differ so widely in amount that they need not
in general be otherwise distinguished.
The
nominative case, singular or plural, is given as far as possible, and in the
spelling of the text, an h being placed after the aspirated (dotted) letters;
the sineadh fada, however, is not given; to discover where it is used recourse
must be had to the text.
The
same word, as Ui Neill, Oirghialla, Laighin, etc., frequently stands for the
tribe and the district. Originally it was a name for the tribe. Keating's
geography of Ireland is expressed largely in terms of the tribal and district
names as they existed before the Norman Invasion and for a considerable period
thereafter. As happens in geography extending over a very long and troubled
period, some names represent districts which partially or wholly overlap. Some
tribe names also that at one period represented flourishing tribes situated in
continuous areas at a later time represent merely a broken and battered clan of
precarious existence and shifting position.
The
extent of territory covered by a given name varied with the centuries; Ulaidh
and Oirghialla may be cited as instances of this. Hence in determining the
places represented by Keating's names we must be broadly guided by the period
of which he is speaking. Keating, of course, took most of his geography from
the documents whose substance he transferred to his pages, and whose very words
he modernised and often adopted without appreciable change.
Terms
contracted as indicated below are sometimes written in full, or nearly so;
there are besides some contractions which only apply to the articles in which
they occur and will be readily understood; some common or obvious contractions
have been employed which are not recorded in the accompanying list.
The
use of parentheses ( ) will in general be plain from the context; among other
uses they sometimes mark a personal or place name for greater clearness, thus:
Rossa Ruadh, f. of Oilill (husband of Meadhbh), shows that it is Oilill not
Rossa Ruadh who was husband of Meadhbh; with regard to personal names, the
information given in the text is not sufficient to distinguish them in all
cases.
In
the spelling of proper names there is some slight diversity. Thus terminal -as
and -us are identical, e.g., Ceanannas and Ceannanus are equivalent, also
Diarmuid and Diarmaid, etc. Indeed a and u are often used as equivalent, thus
one finds Cathasuch and Cathusach mutually interchanged. In Vol I. the
diphthong eu is used where ea is employed in Vols. II. and III.
Transcriber's
Note: King's County and Queen's County are now called Offaly and Laois
respectively.

Daimhliag Chiarain, 'Duleek of Ciaran,' seems identical with Daimhliag;
Duleek seems to be the church intended; Daimhlaig Chiarain is said, in a
Stonyhurst MS. of the year 1700, quoted in Onom., to lie between Cill

was St. Cianan who built Daimhliag or Duleek of Meath which was supposed to be
the first stone church built in Ire.; the passage in Cogadh Gaedhel re Gallaibh
which K. follows here has 'Damliag Cianain' which confirms the theory that
Daimhliag Chiarain is an error for Daimhliag Chianain, v. C.G. 7, 224.

Maolanfaidh; there was another monastery on an island of the same name in

means the Island of Valentia west of Kerry when he speaks of Dairinis.

Fian, g. Feine, dat. Fein, a semi-military
semi-hunting body of men organised to help the kings of Ire. in the
administration of justice and in the defence of the harbours. That the method
of cooking meat attributed to the Fian, is old world, and has been and still is
practised by primitive peoples will appear if the passage beginning "And
it was their custom to send... " be compared with the following;
"Their usual methods of cooking are roasting and boiling. Roasting is
usually effected by making a fire, letting it die down into red-hot ashes, and
then putting the food without wrap or covering into the ashes, turning it from
time to time. They also roast by holding the food on sticks in the flame of the
burning fire, turning it occasionally. Stone cooking is adopted for pig and
other meats. They make a big fire, on the top of which they spread stones; when
the stones are hot enough they remove some of them, place the meat without wrap
or covering on the others, then place the removed stones on the meat, and
finally pile on these stones a big covering of leaves to keep in the heat.
Stone-cooking in the gardens is done in a slightly different way; there they
dig in the ground a round hole about one foot deep and from 4 to 2 feet in
diameter, and in this hole they make their fire, on which they pile their
stones, and the rest of the process is the same as before. This hole-making
process is never adopted in the village. The only reason for it which was
suggested was that the method was quicker and that in the gardens they are in a
hurry. Of course holes of this sort dug in the open village enclosure would be
a source of danger, especially at night." From " The Mafulu Mountain
People of British New Guinea." Robert W. Williamson (Macmillan, 1912).

laighne or spears with broad greenish blue heads (whence are named Laighin or
Leinstermen); an. of all true Leinstermen of the race of Eireamhon except O
Nuallain; story of his having horse's ears; an. of Diarmaid Mac Murchadha; the
story of the horse's ears is of course only a variant of the story of Midas the
Phrygian king, if even that be the original; Midas decided a musical contest
which was between Apollo and Marsyas (or Pan) against the god, and hence his
ears were changed into those of an ass. He hid them under his Phrygian cap, but
his barber discovered the secret which so weighed him down that he relieved the
strain by whispering it to the ground through a hole he had made. He covered in
the hole, but reeds grew above it which kept repeating the secret. The phrase
'Ta dha chluais capaill ar Labhra Ua Loinsiglh.' Labhra O'Lynch has two horse's
ears 'is still said or sung in Irish-speaking districts.

Lacy, Hugo de, one of five Norman leaders of evil deeds;;
sl. by a young nobleman in the guise of a clown, according to K.; Au. says he
was sl. by Ua Miadhaigh (O'Meyey) of Breghmuna at the instigation of Sinnach
(or. Fox) Ua Catharnaigh, and Fm. says it was Gilla gan Mathair O'Meyey who
slew him at the instigation of "Sionnach" and of O'Breen; the old
translation of the Au. in the British Museum has: "A.D. 1186 Hugo de Lacy
killed by a workman. Hugh de Lacy spoyler of churches and privileges of Ireland,
killed by one of Brewny by the Fox O Catharny, etc."; it would seem from
this passage that the translator rendered O Miadhaigh by 'a workman.' From the
Annals of Kilronan we learn that O Meyey was foster-son of the Fox, chief of
Teffia. In none of the existing Irish accounts is the incident given precisely
as in K., nor is it probable that K. ever saw the old translation of Au. which
says he was sl. by a workman; K. may have used a document now lost, v. Fm. II.
72; and Orpen, I. 67.

Leabhar Gabhala, 'Book of Invasion,' generally in K. an L.
G., 'the Book of Invasion,' there are several such tracts in the old books and
it is not clear to which K. is referring when he says an L. G.; in three
passages he speaks of na Leabhair G., 'the Books of Invasion,' which is a just
description of the facts. In one passage he refers to 'a certain L. G.' and in
another he calls Cin Droma Sneachta a L. G. It seems certain that K. never saw
O'Clery's Leabhar Gabhala which was compiled in 1630-1631. In compiling this
work O'Clery does not put any ancient tract forward as an L. G., but he gives
his sources which are: Leabhar Bhaile Ui Mhoilchonaire, which was copied from

Leabhar Irsi, 'Book of Chronicles,' now unknown, a tract
called Leabhar Oiris, published in Eiriu I. 74, contains none of the things
quoted from the Leabhar Irsi in K. and cannot be the same work. O'Halloran,
author of a History of Ireland, however. seems to have had a larger tract
passing under the name Leabhar Oiris than any now extant.
Leabhar Muimhneach, 'Book of Munster,' an interesting
historical and genealogical tract, beginning with the Creation and dealing with
the history of Ire., but especially of the Southern province. No ancient copy
of it is now known to exist. It has much genealogical information about the

difficult to fix in some particulars. K.'s account closely corresponds to a
tract in MS. D. IV. 2, R.I.A., of which another version is given in Rawlinson
B. 512. This tract has been edited by Fr. P. Walsh in Archivium Hibernicum,
1912. It may be that D. IV. 2 contains this tract in its original form. It
certainly is clearer than K. in some boundary items. It is, moreover, highly
probable that this very MS. D. IV. 2 was used by K., for besides the present
tract, the story of the crosans is verbally identical in K. (v. archaic version

Normandie, Normandy, a province of old France
bordering on the English Channel, and opposite to England; at the beginning of
the fifth century it corresponded to Provincia Lugdunensis Secunda of Roman
Geography. It was then occupied by Gaulish tribes, the chief town being Civitas
Rotomagensium or Rouen; in 911 the Normans or Northmen after many hostile
incursions, settled down in this territory and gave it the name of Normandy. In
1066, William, Duke of Normandy, was crowned k. of England. From 1106 to 1204
Normandy was in unbroken union with England. The old duchy corresponds roughly
to the departments of Seine Inferieure, Eure, Calvados, Mance, and Orne. In
K.'s text lucht na Normandie and similar expressions mean the Northmen,
Norsemen, Scandanavians or Lochlonnaigh in general; while when treating of the
invasion of Ire. under Henry I. he uses Normandie in its strict sense, that
duchy being then united to the English crown; the clergy of the Irish ports, he
tells us in two passages, who were themselves a remnant of the Lochlonnaigh,
chose to be under the archbishop of Canterbury, as England was then ruled by
the descendants of the dukes of Normandy in which their own race had settled a
couple of centuries previously.
