The Battle of Clontarf (Irish: Cath Chluana Tarbh) was fought on Good Friday, 23 April, of 1014. On one side were armies led by Brian Boru, king of Munster, which included contingents from Munster, from Mide led by Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill, and from the Norse-Gael towns of southern Ireland. The other, led by Máel Mórda mac Murchada, king of Leinster, was made up of men from Leinster, from Dublin, led by Sigtrygg Silkbeard, joined by foreign troops from the Isle of Man, the Hebrides and the Northern Isles. Very little of substance is recorded of the battle in contemporary sources save the names of the notable dead and the fact that Brian's armies defeated those of Máel Mórda. It is certain that Brian and one of his sons were killed, as were Máel Mórda and Sigurd the Stout, Earl of Orkney on the other side.

The personal dominance which Brian had established in his long reign, a dominance which was sealed by his recognition as the first High King of Ireland from outwith the Uí Néill in many centuries, ended with his death. His surviving sons were unable to emulate his successes and the Uí Néill were unable or unwilling to reestablish the old order. The new order, in which others sought to follow Brian's path and establish themselves as High Kings by force of arms, lasted until the coming of the Normans.

The battle of Clontarf quickly passed from history to legend and myth and became the subject of Irish dynastic propaganda, such as The War of the Irish with the Foreigners, written for Brian's great-grandson Muirchertach Ua Briain, of Icelandic sagas, and of other works by poets and historians, painters and sculptors. The battle itself changed from a struggle between two Irish kings, Brian and his brother-in-law Máel Mórda, into a great and decisive victory over the Vikings.

Donnchad mac Gilla Pátraic (died 1039) was king of Osraige and king of Leinster.

Surprising lack of anything!

Even as late as the death of Saint Columba (died c. 597), a great-grandson of Niall's son Conall Gulban, the Amra Colum Cille, a eulogy attributed to the poet Dallán Forgaill and dated to soon after Columba's death, Columba is described as belonging to the people of Niall and also to the moccu Chuinn. The moccu Chuinn appear in various entries in the Irish annals, the last apparently in 663. Moccu, a term obsolete by the late 7th century and often misunderstood by later writers, is an Primitive Irish language term—a masculine term, the feminine equivalent is dercu—which identifies the bearer as a member of a tribe, that is a gentilic or demonym rather than a patronym. These tribal names were prefixed by Dál (e.g. Dál Fiatach, Dál Riata), or by Corcu (e.g. Corcu Duibne, Corcu Loígde), or included the suffix particle rige (e.g. Ciarraige).

Moccu Chuinn itself indicates membership of the tribe of Conn, presumed to be Conn of the Hundred Battles, a legendary figure, or perhaps a euhemerised divinity, claimed as the ancester of the Connachta.

The earliest known reference to a king of Ireland is by Adomnán, in his Life of Saint Columba, who refers to Diarmait mac Cerbaill as "ordained by God's will as king of all Ireland".^[1] However, Adomnán's view is not one which is shared by modern historians, who would generally place the origins of an effective High Kingship in the middle years of the ninth century.^[2]

I could just do all this myself, but in a rare attack of collegiality I'm inviting outside comments. The names of these articles are WP:MADEUP. If you pay close attention, you'll see that there's no Nechtan III. I'm not quite sure how that happened.

WP:UE says use English names. There aren't any. WP:COMMONNAME says use the common name. There are at most half a dozen kings that well read people might have heard of. Not really relevant, but let's start with those.

The Sept of Gartnait was a kin group in 7th century Skye. Its conflict with the descendants of Áedán mac Gabráin—rulers of Dál Riata—is recorded in the Irish annals. In Classical Irish literature, the conflict forms the background to the Scéla Cano meic Gartnáin, and perhaps to other tales now lost.

The annalistic record of the sept of Gartnaith is relatively limited. It begins in 644 with the retrospective entry in Irish, rather than contemporary Latin, recording the "burning of Iarnbod mac Gartnaith".(Annals of Ulster, s.a. 644; Annals of Tigernach, s.a. 644. Anderson, p. 169, fn. 2: "Iarnbodh may have been the son of Gartnait, Accidan's son".) (Someone, somewhere, notes that this entry appears to be from a tale, the use of losc[ao]th?) In 649 "war between the descendants of Áedán and [the descendants?(Anderson's gloss)] of Gartnait, son of Accidan" is recorded.(Annals of Ulster, s.a. 649)

Crossing to Ireland 668, return 670. Death of Cano 688. Death of Cano's daughter 690 (Bannerman, not in Anderson, AU s.a. 690 has obit for "Coblaith, daughter of Canu"). Death of Cano's son Conamail in 705 (who was captured in 673 along with "Alpin, Corp's son" [ho, ho, ho]).

Thurneysen thinks the SCmG is unhistorical bollocks sez Bannerman, but he disagrees. Check the Andersons, esp. ESSH's fns. Smyth has nothing to say.

Glen Moriston, or Glenmoriston, is a valley in the Highland council area of Scotland. It lies immediately to the west of the Great Glen which it meets at Invermoriston and is oriented in an east-west direction.

The River Moriston', the outfall of Loch Cluanie, flows through the glen. The River Loyne, which flows out Loch Loyne through Glen Loyne, meets the Moriston at the settlement of Bun Loyne. The length of the glen, from Loch Cluanie to Invermoriston, is around 20 miles.

The A887 road runs through the glen to Bun Loyne, where it meets the A87 road from Invergarry, which follows the glen past Loch Cluanie and on to Kintail and Kyle of Lochalsh.

Lochs Cluanie and Loyne serve as reservoirs for the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board's Glenmoriston power generation scheme.
