Gallagher
(Old Irish: Ó Gallchobhair, Ó Gallchobhoir; Modern Irish: Ó
Gallachóir) is an Irish Gaelic clan based most prominently in
what is today County Donegal. The clan name originated in the
10th century as a derivative of its
founder Gallchobhair mac Rorcan. They descend in the paternal
line from the Northern Uí Néill's Cenél Conaill. The immediate
progenitors of the Gallaghers held the High Kingship of Ireland
during the 6th and 7th centuries in the
form of Ainmuire mac Sétnai, Áed mac Ainmuirech, Máel Coba mac
Áedo and Cellach mac Máele Coba; Áed was also
an ancestor of the O'Donnell and O'Doherty clans. Indeed, during
the Middle Ages, the Gallaghers were Marshals of
the Kingdom of Tyrconnell, ruled by their previously junior
kinsmen the O'Donnells. |
