Fearghal Ó Dálaigh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fearghal Ó Dálaigh (born before 1368 - died 1420) was an Irish poet.
His pedigree was: Fearghal Ó Dálaigh, son of Tadhg, son of Aonghus Ruadh, son of Donnchadh Ruadh, son of Aengus, son of Donnchadh Mor, son of Aenghusa, son of Tadhg doichligh, son of Con Connacht na scoile, son of Dalaigh, son of Muiredhaigh, son of Tadhg, son of Giolla coimded, son of Dalaigh (from whom the Ó Dálaighs were named), son of Fachtna, son of Cuirc, son of Adaimh, son of Maile duin, son of Fergaile, son of Maile duin, son of Maile fithrig.[1]
Birth
His father died in 1367 and his grandfather, the poet Aonghus Ruadh Ó Dálaigh, died in 1350, so he would have been born before 1368. His family had lands in both the barony of Corcomroe, County Clare, and in Kilkenny West barony, County Westmeath, so it is likely he was born in one of those.
