The annals state that the tribes of Uí Fidhghente descend from Oilioll Olum (Oilioll of the bare ear – because “his ear was bitten off by the Dé Dánann maiden Áine as he was ravishing her”; king of Munster, who died in 234). He was a son of Eoghan Mór (otherwise known as Mogh Nuadhat, king of Munster, who died in 166) from whom the Eoghanacht tribes of Munster were named.

Oilioll married Sadhbh, a daughter of Conn Cetcathach(Conn of the hundred battles; king of Connaught, who died in 157) after whom the province of Connaught was named. There was great rivalry between Conn and Mogh, who effectively ruled the northern (“Conn’s Half”) and southern (“Mogh’s Half”) portions of Ireland after the battle of Maynooth in 123. The marriage of their children may have been a strategic alliance.

OILIOLL OLUM, King of Munster, died in 234. He married, as her second husband, Sadhbh, daughter of Conn of 100 Battles, Monarch of Ireland, and had a son, Cian, who died in 241 at the battle of Samhain. Oillioll was the son of

MILESIUS king of Spain, married Scota, daughter of Pharaoh Nectanebus. During a famine, he sent his sons to Ireland to find new homes for his people.

Traditionally, the ancient Kings of Ireland were descended from King Milesesius of Spain, the grandson of Breaghan (Brian), King of Galicia, Andalusia, Murcia, Castile and Portugal. Milesius, a great general/king, was instrumental in defending Egypt from the King of Ethiopia. Milesius turned his attention northward to Ireland to fulfill an ancient Druidic prophecy. He sent an army to explore this fertile island. On finding that his son had been murdered by the three resident Irish Kings (the Danans), Milesius gathered another army to take his revenge on the Irish. He died before he embarked on the trip. His remaining eight sons conquered Ireland. Heremon, eldest son of Milesius, reigned in Ireland for fourteen years, along with his brothers Heber, Ir, and Ithe. They named the land Scota or Scotia, their mothers name, the land of the Scots. This name would later be taken by the Irish King Colla in 357 when he was exiled to Scotland, leaving the name >Ir-land=, land of Ir, youngest of the four sons of Milesius, to the Emerald Isle. The four Irish kingdoms eventually broke into five separate nations under the High King, or Árd Rí. These royal lines would later produce such great Kings as the 4th century King Niall of Nine Hostages who died in France while cutting off the retreat of the Romans from Britain, and King Brian Boru who died in the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, finally expelling the Vikings from Dublin and Ireland.
