  Notes	Daimhin, (Daimine Airgit, na Oriel), King of Airgíalla Progenitor of the Síl Daimíne, was the son of Cairbre an Daimh Airgid He was a King of Oriel and had many sons - an ancestor of the Siol Daimhin [1] There is a story that "Daimin son of Cairbre" and two other children were missing, thought drowned in Lough Erne (County Fermanagh). His mother begged for help to find their bodies for burial without success until Molaise of Devenish, suggested she wait for Máedóc of Ferns (also known as Aedan), who would surely restore them to life by the favour of the Holy Spirit. Máedóc, with compassion for the loss of the children, went to Lough Erne and prayed intensely to God, and the children were found alive, and returned to their mothers. "When Cairbre son of Eochaid saw his son raised from death, he gave himself and his son, and his seed, to God and Máedóc in perpetuity, and a scruple (tithe) from every house in the nine cantreds of Oriel. [2] This is the Daimhin for whom Devinish Island in Loch Erne, Fermanagh is named; mistakenly named Ox Island by some because the Irish "damh" is "oxen" in English. Devenish Island is a Monastic Site founded in the 6th century by Laisrén mac Nad Froích (also known as Molaise). [3] [4] [5] Devenish Island was ruled by the Síl nDaiméni branch of the Uí Chremthainn. [6] [7] According to the Irish genealogies of saints, Laisrén belonged to the Uí Chóelbad, who were based in Mag Line (Co Antrim) and formed the leading branch of the Cruithni ... The Loígis, who gave their name to County Laois in Leinster ... are claimed as Cruthin in early Irish genealogies. [8] Death - Annul for the year 560 : Daimhin Damhairgitr, i.e. Cairbre, died. From him are the Airghialla. [9] alternatively, Daimhin, King of Orgiall son of Cairbre an Daimh Airgid died AD 566 [10] [11] Sources ↑ John O'Hart in page: 189 of Irish Pedigrees, Or, The Origin and Stem of the Irish Nation part Vll Stem of the O'Hart Family ↑ Celt : Bethada Náem nÉrenn : Life of Maedoc of Ferns page: 191(author unknown) Corpus of Electronic Texts Edition ↑ John O'Hart in page: 189 of Irish Pedigrees, Or, The Origin and Stem of the Irish Nation part Vll Stem of the O'Hart Family ↑ St. Molaise of Devenish ↑ Wikipedia : Laisrén mac Nad Froích ↑ Laisrén mac Nad Froích ↑ Wikipedia : Airgíalla ↑ Wikipedia : Cruthin ↑ Annals of the Four Masters M560.2 (author unknown) Corpus of Electronic Texts Edition ↑ John O'Hart in page: 189 of Irish Pedigrees, Or, The Origin and Stem of the Irish Nation part Vll Stem of the O'Hart Family ↑ Daimine Daim Argat, died 565 - in Wikipedia : Kings of Airgíalla Family Tree DNA : Clan Colla Jaski, Bart Genealogical tables of medieval Irish royal dynasties Table-24,33 Early Irish Kingship Succession by Jaski Bart, Published by Four Courts Press, 2013, ISBN 1846824265 ISBN 9781846824265 This person was created through the import of David Rentschler Family Tree_2010-09-30.ged on 01 October 2010.
