Domnall mac Áedo
Domnall mac Áedo (died 642), also known as Domnall II, was a son of Áed mac Ainmuirech.
Domnall was High King of Ireland from 628 until his death.
He belonged to the Cenél Conaill kindred of the Northern Uí Néill.
The year of Domnall's birth is not known, and even an approximation depends on the date of the convention of Druim Cett, which is debated.
Certainly he must have been born around 570 at the earliest, and around 590 at the latest.
According to Adomnán's "Life of Saint Columba", Domnall mac Áedo met Columba at Druim Cett while still a boy.
Columba prophesied great success and a peaceful death in old age for Domnall.
Domnall's brother Máel Cobo (died 615) is said to have been High King of Ireland, and his father Áed also, but both claims are later inventions based on the Annals of the Four Masters and similar writings.
The list of High Kings found in the "Baile Chuinn Cétchathaigh" (The Frenzy of Conn of the Hundred Battles), which is dated to before 695, includes Domnall.
The original writer of the Annals of Ulster named just twelve "kings of Ireland", starting with Domnall in 628–642, and ending with Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair in 1166–1186.
The first reference to Domnall in the Annals of Ulster is for 628, a report of the battle of Both where Domnall was defeated by the reigning High King, his distant Uí Néill cousin Suibne Menn of the Cenél nEógain.
Shortly after, Suibne Menn was killed by Congal Cáech, the Dál nAraidi king of the Ulaid.
Later in the year Domnall took his army raiding into Leinster.
Success in warfare was the usual test of a new king, and afterwards the Annalists assume Domnall was acknowledged as High King.
In 629, the Annals tell of battles at Fid Eóin and Dún Ceithirn, although it is not clear which was fought first.
At Fid Eóin, Máel Caích mac Sgannail defeated the army of the Dál Riata, clients of the Cenél Conaill.
The king of Dál Riata, Connad Cerr, and two grandsons of Áedán mac Gabráin were killed in the defeat.
At Dún Ceithirn, Domnall inflicted a defeat on Congal Cáech and the armies of the Ulaid and Dál nAraidi.
In addition to the defeat of the Ulaid, constant enemies of the Cenél Conaill, Domnall's hold on power can only have been helped by fighting amongst the other kindreds of the Uí Néill, war amongst Cenél nEógain reported in 630, and between Clann Cholmáin and the Síl nÁedo Sláine in 634–635.
In 637, Domnall faced another challenge from Congal Cáech and the Ulaid.
Congal was joined by Domnall Brecc, king of Dál Riata, and by the Cenél nEógain.
Domnall was aided by the Síl nÁedo Sláine.
The battle of Mag Rath (Moira, County Down) was a decisive victory for the High King and Congal Cáech was killed.
On the same day as Mag Rath, the battle of Sailtír (off Kintyre), fought between Domnall's fleet, led by his nephew Conall Cáel mac Máele Cobo, and a fleet of the Cenél nEógain and Dál Riata, was won by the High King's forces.
The Ulaid were not the main sufferers however, as the Dál Riata are thought to have lost their lands in County Antrim as a result of the battle.
Mag Rath was attached to the Buile Shuibhne, the tale of a fictitious Dál nAraidi king named Suibhne Gelt, which is probably much older in origin.
The Annals of Tigernach report the death of Domnall's wife Duinseach in 641.
Domnall died at the end of January of 642, perhaps after a long illness.
Domnall was followed as king of the Cenél Conaill by his nephew Cellach mac Máele Cobo.
Domnall's sons included Óengus mac Domnaill (died 650), father of Loingsech mac Óengusso (died 703), high king of Ireland ; Fergus Fanát
, father of Congal Cennmagair (died 710), also high king; Ailill Flann Esa (died 666) as well as Conall and Colcu (both died 663) .

Loingsech mac Óengusso
Loingsech mac Óengusso( died 703) was an Irish king who was High King of Ireland.
Loingsech was a member of the northern Cenél Conaill branch of the Uí Néill.
Although his father Óengus( died 650) had not been High King, his grandfather Domnall mac Áedo( died 642) had been.

Though not a chief himself, Cormac was of the line that provided all subsequent Ó Máille Chiefs of the Name.

Áed mac Ainmuirech
Áed mac Ainmuirech (died 598) was high-king of the Northern Uí Néill.
He belonged to the Cenél Conaill and was a distant cousin of Columba of Iona.
He was the son of Ainmuire mac Sétnai (died 569), a previous possible high king.
His mother was Bríg, daughter of Chobtaig, son of Ailill, son of Nath Í, son of Crimthann mac Énnai son of Énnae Cennsalach of the Uí Ceinnselaig dynasty from Leinster.
He came to power some decades after the death of the last old, pagan style high-king of Tara, Diarmait mac Cerbaill (d. 565), after a period in which it is not clear that the Uí Néill had a high-king, nor is it certain that his contemporaries would have acknowledged Áed as such.
The high kingship of Ireland rotated between the Cenél nEógain and Cenél Conaill branches in the late 6th century.
It is difficult to disentangle the reign of Áed from that of his older second cousin Báetán mac Ninneda (died 586).
Various lengths are given to the reign of Áed in the kinglists all of which would put the start of his reign before the death of Báetán.
Both kings are omitted from the "Baile Chuinn", the earliest Irish king list of the late 7th century, but this was probably a partisan document.
It is possible that Báetán was not actually high king but was given this position by the synthetic historians to explain away the rule of Báetán mac Cairill (died 581) of the Dal Fiatach of Ulster as high king.
The kinglists only assign him a reign of one year.
Whether Báetán was king of Tara or not, the real effective power among the northern Ui Neill was Áed mac Ainmuirech.
He is known to have met with Áedán mac Gabráin, king of Dál Riata, in 575 at The Synod or Convention of Drumceat, to agree an alliance, presumably arranged by his cousin Columba.
Áed and Áedán were both threatened by the activities Ulaid king Báetán mac Cairill of the Dál Fiatach, and it served both interests that Dál Riada not be subjected to the ambitious Báetán.
In this they succeeded.
Áed may have become high king after this possibly in 576.
It is also quite possible that this conference did not take place until circa 587 which is the date recorded in the "Annals of Clonmacnoise".
The death of Báetán mac Ninneda had occurred in 586 and the "Annals of Ulster" record two death dates for Báetán mac Cairill, one being in 587.
A challenge to the rule of Áed among the northern Ui Neill was launched by Colcu mac Domnaill of the Cenél nEógain branch.
However they clashed at the Battle of Druim Meic Erce (Drumhirk, modern County Tyrone) in 580 and Colcu was slain.
Then in 586, Báetán mac Ninneda was killed at Léim in Eich at the instigation of Colmán Bec (died 587), the southern Ui Neill king of Uisnech who was making a bid for the high kingship.
(who may have made an earlier bid in 573).
In 587 Áed ended this threat when Colman was slain at the battle of Belach Dathi.
Another challenge to Áed may have come from the direction of Ulster in the person of Fiachnae mac Báetáin (died 626) of the Dál nAraidi.
At the royal conference at Druim Cett the affairs of Osraige had been discussed implying an influence by Áed over the affairs of Munster.
In 597 Fiachnae won the Battle of Sliab Cua in the territory of Munster.
Fiachnae had earlier won a battle over the Ciannachta of Brega in 594.
The possibility is that Fiachnae was a possible king of Tara in the 590's
Áed came into conflict with Brandub mac Echach, King of Leinster from the Uí Cheinnselaig who was resisting Ui Neill encroachment.
According to the saga tradition preserved in the "Borúma Laigin" (Cattle Tribute of Leinster), Brandub had killed Cummascach, the son of Áed for demanding the right to sleep with Brandub's wife during a royal tour.
The annals record Brandub's killing of Áed's son Cummascach in 597 at Dún Buchat.
However, at the battle of Dún Bolg (Dunboyke, modern County Wicklow) in 598, Áed was defeated and killed by Brandub.
Áed had close relations with his cousin Saint Columba.
He may have commissioned a eulogy upon the saint's death and most likely granted the land for the monastery of Durrow.
Áed was followed as king of the Northern Uí Néill by Colmán Rímid, son of Báetán mac Muirchertaig, of the Cenél nEógain.
Áed's son Conall Cú mac Áedo (died 604) failed in a bid for the high kingship after his death but his sons Máel Cobo (died 615) and Domnall (died 642) were later high kings of the Northern Uí Néill.
Faílbe Flann mac Áedo Duib
Faílbe Flann mac Áedo Duib( died 639) was a King of Munster from the Eóganacht Chaisil branch of the Eoganachta.
He succeeded Cathal mac Áedo Flaind Chathrach of the Glendamnach branch in 628.
He was the younger brother of a previous king Fíngen mac Áedo Duib( d. 618).
His sobriquet Flann meant" blood- red".

Abd al- Muttalib Shaybah ibn Hashim( c. 497 – 578) was the grandfather of Islamic prophet Muhammad.
