Eighteenth Generation


82. Tadhg Mor Ua Ceallaigh1,8 (Teige O'Kelly) was born in 955 in Ui Maine Ireland. He died Killed in the Battle of Clontarf, Good Friday in 1014.1

 

Brian Boru was the High King of Ireland during the time of Teige O'Kelly who was the regional King of Hy-Many.  Both Brian and Teige died in the Battle of Clontarf 1014 good Friday.  To the right is an image of Brian, it is likely not a true image but one based upon how an Irish King would appear in that time.  Brian is holding the Wand of Power which was just one of the symbols used to denote Kingship and one that appears in many cultures but with different designs.  Brain is holding his Kingly Shield with his left hand and the shield displays three lions upon it which was said to have appeared upon Milesius from whom most of Ireland descend.  Y-DNA testing is proving the Milesius descent as false.  There is a harp in this image.


I have great doubts that Tadhg Mor Ua Ceallaigh was of the Hy-Many, I suspect he was of the O'Kelleys of Northern Bregia who descend from Ahed of Slaine the 141 Monarch of Ireland and was in the east, he would have made a better son-in-law for King Brian.  I cover this in greater detail with Teige of Tailtenn
