Suibne mac Colmáin Már
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suibne mac Colmáin Már (died 598)[1] was a King of Uisnech in Mide of the Clann Cholmáin. He was the son of Colmán Már mac Diarmato (died 557), also king of Uisnech.[2] He ruled Uisnech from 585-598.[3]
A king list by Marianus Scottus names Suibne mac Colmain Mar as high king of Ireland.[4] He may also be the Suibne referred to in the Baile Chuind (The Ecstasy of Conn)[5] The annals and other king lists do not give him this title however. He was slain in 598 at Brí Dam in the Suaine by his uncle, the high king Áed Sláine mac Diarmato (died 602) of the Síl nÁedo Sláine, treacherously according to the Life of St. Columba by Adomnán.[6]
Suibne's sons Conall Guthbinn mac Suibni (died 637) and Máel Dóid mac Suibni (died 653) were also kings of Uisnech. His daughter Uasal ingen Suibni (died 644) married Fáelán mac Colmáin (died 666?), King of Leinster from the Uí Dúnlainge.
