Ciannachta Glen Geimin

Dream Gaelach in Éirinn na meánaoise ba ea Ciannachta Ghleann Geimhin (Sean-Ghaeilge Cianachta Glinne/Glenn Geimin), lonnaithe i gContae Dhoire.  I dteannta le Ciannachta eile, mhaígh siad gur de shliocht Taidhg mhic Céin iad.

Uí Conchúir ba ea príomhchlann na gCiannachta úd.  Bhí siad i gceannas ón 5ú haois go dtí gur tháinig Uí Catháin i gcomharbacht orthu sa dara haois déag.

Sa bhliain 681, maraíodh Ceann Faoladh, rí Chiannachta Ghleann Geimhin, i dteannta le Dúngal Eilne, rí na gCruithne agus an Dáil Araí, i Dún Ceithirinn ag Maol Dúin mac Maoil Fithrigh den Cineál mhic Earca.

Measadh go raibh comhaontas éigin idir Ciannacht Ghleann Geimhin, an Cineál Fearadaigh agus an Dál nAraidi ciontach as bás Eochach mhic Dhomhanghairt, rí an Chineáil Ghabhráin den Dál Riada san [[Albain sa bhliain 697.  Rinne Fiannamail ua Dúnchado, a bheadh in am trátha rí an Dáil Riada, an feall seo.  Sa bhliain 700, ámh, maraíodh mar chúiteamh eisean agus Flann mac Cinn-Faoladh den Chiannacht Ghleann Geimhin.

Tar éis di bheith clóite ag Uí Chathaín, lonnaigh sna tailte a gcomhghuaillithe, Uí Mhaoláin, agus Mhic Giollagáin.  Faoin the 17ú haois, bhí an dara dóibh i gceannas ar "thír Mhic Giollagáin" mar a ghlaoití uirthi, feadh an chósta thuaidh.  Faightear an inniu Aird Mhic Giollagáin.

Feictear Ó Coinn éigin i nAnnála na gCeithre Máistrí don bhliain 1218, ina thiarna Mhaigh Lughadh, a bhí de réir Leabhar Mór Leacáin agus Leabhar Bhaile an Mhóta suite i gcríocha na gCiannacht.
