Domnall mac Cathail

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Domnall mac Cathail(d.715)[1] was a possible King of Connacht from the Uí Briúin branch of the Connachta. He was the son of Cathal mac Rogallaig(d.680) and grandson of a previous king Rogallach mac Uatach(d.649).[2]

Though listed in king-lists[3] he is omitted from the annals as king except for the Chronicum Scotorum which mention him as king of Connacht at his death obit in 715. He would have acceeded to the throne in 707 upon the slaying of Indrechtach mac Dúnchado Muirisci(d.707) by the northern Ui Neill.[4]
