Muiredach mac Brain (died 818)
Muiredach mac Brain (died 818) was a King of Leinster of the Uí Muiredaig sept of the Uí Dúnlainge branch of the Laigin.
This sept had their royal seat at Maistiu (Mullaghmast) in South Kildare.
He was the son of Bran Ardchenn mac Muiredaig (died 795), a previous king.
He ruled from 805 to 806 and again from 808 to 818.
Though not listed in the king list in the "Book of Leinster", he is mentioned in the Irish annals.
He is given the title
"leth-ri" (one of two kings) at his death in 818 ("Annals of Ulster") and ruled in conjunction with Muiredach mac Ruadrach (died 829) of the Uí Fáeláin sept.
In 795 his father, Bran, had been assassinated by his successor Fínsnechta Cethardec mac Cellaig (died 808) of the Uí Dúnchada sept as a direct challenge to the high-king.
In 805 Fínsnechta was deposed by the high king Áed Oirdnide (died 819) of the Cenél nEógain who installed Muiredach mac Brain and Muiredach mac Ruadrach as kings.
Finsnechta took refuge with Muirgius mac Tommaltaig (died 815), the King of Connacht who then aided him in recovering his throne in 806.
Upon the death of Finsnechta, Muiredach mac Brain and Muiredach mac Ruadrach were returned to rule.
In 814 a battle is recorded between the Uí Cheinnselaig of south Leinster and the sons of Bran.
The battle was won by the sons of Bran, probably Muiredach and his brother Cellach mac Brain (died 834).
Upon the death of Muiredach mac Brain, Muiredach mac Ruadrach became sole ruler.
Muiredach's sons, Tuathal mac Muiredaig (died 854) and Dúnlaing mac Muiredaig (died 869) were also kings of Leinster.

Túathal mac Máele-Brigte
Tuathal mac Máele-Brigte (died 854) was a King of Leinster of the Uí Muiredaig sept of the Uí Dúnlainge branch of the Laigin.
This sept had their royal seat at Maistiu (Mullaghmast) in South Kildare.
He was possibly the son of Muiredach mac Brain (died 818), a previous king.
However he is known as the son of Máel-Brigte in the annals, which person's identity is unknown.
The succession of kings in Leinster is difficult to follow in his time.
The king lists in the "Book of Leinster"
have Tuathal succeed his cousin Lorcán mac Cellaig and Tuathal is given a reign of three years giving a reign of 851-854.
Byrne suggests that the root of this apparent confusion lay in the fact that the Uí Dúnlainge kings exercised little real authority due to the aggressions of their western neighbour Cerball mac Dúnlainge (died 888), King of Osraige.
Cerball, while unable to install himself as king of Leinster, was able to prevent any rival king exercising real power there.
In his death obit in the annals in 854 it states that he was wickedly killed by his own kinsmen.
He is only accorded the title of King of the Uí Dúnlainge.
