Ancient Kinsella Lineage
enealogy was extremely important to all the free
classes in ancient Ireland because social standing was determined
by hereditary right.
In this listing of the Kinsella genealogy, the first thirty
five generations, which include biblical names and the names of
the Gaels (the name the Irish give to the first Celtic invaders
of Ireland) that wandered all over the Mediterranean Sea are
purely the invention of enthusiastic monks that were trying to
make Irish genealogy agree with biblical information.
The story of the landing in Ireland around 1800 BC as recorded
in the "Book of Invasions" is considered mythology,
similar to that of the Greek and Roman ancestor myths.
The next fifty odd generations after the Milesians are
likewise considered to be mythological, although it is conceded
that the activities of these people in some cases may refer to
actual historical events.
All the leading families in Ireland trace themselves back to
one of the four Milesian chieftains that supposedly were leaders
of the first Celtic invasion of Ireland. Douglas Hyde in his,
"A Literary History of Ireland" concludes that the long
list of descendants from these chieftains should be discarded
until we reach names of people that lived in the third or fourth
century A.D. It is at this time that most of the noble
genealogies converge. He believes that genealogy lists after this
point in time should be considered to be authentic.
Hyde goes on to state that there is one family line that
appears to be much older than the rest. He says that the most
ancient of all Irish pedigrees is the line of Leinster Kings
which goes back to around 300 B.C., at which point it joins the
"artificial" list of names that leads back to the
Milesians. It is from this line that the Kinsellas descend.
- Adam: his wife was Eve
- Seth: son of
- Enos: son of
- Cainan: son of
- Mahalaleel: son of
- Jared: son of
- Enoch: son of
- Methuselah: son of
- Lamech: son of
- Noah: son of
- Japhet: eldest son of Noah. He had 15 sons,
amongst whom he divided Europe, and the part of Asia his
father had allotted to him.
- Magog: his son, from whom descended the Parthians,
Gadelians, Amazonians, etc; also Bartholinus, the first
planter of Ireland, about three hundred years after the
flood
- Baoth: one of the sons of Magog, to whom Scythia
came as his lot upon the division of the earth by Noah,
and subsequently by Japhet, of his part thereof among his
sons
- Phoeniusa
(Fenius) Farsaidh:inventor of Letters.
- Niul: after his father's return to Scythia,
continued some time at Aeothania, teaching the languages
and other laudable sciences, until, upon report of his
great learning, he was invited into Egypt by Pharaoh, the
king who gave him the land of Campuss Eyrunt, near the
Red Sea, to inhabit, and heal so gave him his daughter
Scota in marriage, from whom their posterity are ever
since called the Scots. It was this Niulus who employed
Gaodhal (Gael) son of Eighor, a learned and skillful man,
to compose, or rather refine, the language called Bearla
Tobbai, which was common to the posterity of Niulus, and
was afterwards called "Gaodh-ilg" from the said
Gaodhal, who composed and improved it, and for his sake
also Niulus called his eldest son "Gaodhal"
- Gaodhal: the son of Niulus, was the ancestor of
the Clan na Gael; that is, the children or descendants of
Gaodhal. In his youth this Gaodhal was stung in the neck
by a serpent, and was immediately brought to Moses, who,
by laying the miraculous rod on the wounded place, cured
him, and, in addition to this cure, he obtained a further
blessing, which we enjoy to the present day--namely, that
no venomous beast can live at any time where his
posterity should inhabit, which privilege is verified in
Candia, Getulea, and Ireland.
- Asruth: his son, continued in Egypt, and governed
his colony in peace during his life
- Sruth: his son, soon after his father's death, was
set upon by the Egyptians, actuated by their former
animosities towards his predecessors, for having taken
part with the Israelites against them, and which
animosities had, until then, lain raked up in the embers,
but which now broke out into a flame, to that degree
that, after many battles and conflicts, wherein most of
his colony lost their lives, Sruth was forced, with the
few remaining, to depart the country, and after many
traverses at sea, arrived at the Island of Crete, or
Candia, where he died.
- Heber Scutt: after his father's death, and a
year's stay at Crete, departed thence, leaving some of
his people to inherit the island, and where some of their
posterity likely remain, as the islands harbor no
venomous serpents ever since. He and his people soon
after arrived in Scythia, where his cousins, the
posterity of Nenuallus (eldest son of Farsa), refusing to
allot a place of habitation for him and his colony, they
fought many battles, wherein Heber, being always the
victor, at length forced the sovereignty from the
reigning king, and settling himself and his colony in
Scythia, they continued there for four generations. Heber
Scott was afterwa rds slain in battle, by Noemus, the son
of the former king.
- Beouman: son of
- Oghaman: son of
- Tait: were kings of Scythia, but in constant war
with the natives, so that after Tait's death, his son...
- Agnan: and his followers betook themselves to sea,
wandering and coasting upon the Caspian for several
years, in which time he died
- Lamhfionn: and his fleet remained at sea or some
time after his father's death, resting and refreshing
themselves upon such islands as they me t with. It was
then that Cachear, their magician or Druid, foretold that
there would be no end to their wanderings and travels,
until they would arrive in the western island of Europe
called Ireland, which was the place destined for their
future and final abode, and that no only they but their
posterity after three hundred years should arrive there.
After many traverses of fortune at sea this little fleet
arrived at last with their leader at Gothia or Gethulia,
more recently Libya, where Carthage was afterwards built,
and soon afterwards Lamhfoin died there.
- Heber Glunfionn: his son, was born in Getulia
where he also died. His posterity continued there to the
eighth generation, and were kings or rulers for one
hundred and fifty years and upwards.
- Agnan Fionn: son of
- Febric Glas: son of
- Nenuall: son of
- Nuadhad: son of
- Alladh: son of
- Arcadh: son of
- Deagh: son of
- Brath: was born in Gothia. Remembering the Druid
predictions, an d his people having increased
considerably during their abode in Getulia, he departed
thence with a numerous fleet, to seek out the country
destined for their final settlement by the prophecy of
Cachear. After some time he landed on the coast of Spain,
and by the strong hand settled himself and his colony in
Galicia, in the north of that country.
- Breoghan (Brigus): a quo the "Brigantes":
was king of Galicia, Andalusia, Murcia, Castile, and
Portugal, all of which he conquered. He built Breoghans
Towe r, or Brigantia, in Galicia, and the City of
Braganza, in Portugal, called after himself. The kingdom
of Castile was then called Brigia after him also.
- Bile: was king of those countries after his
father's death, and was succeeded by his son Milesius (Galamh).
This Bile had a brother named Ithe.
The following comprises the foundation myths of the Irish.
There may be some truth in them but their validity is in
question
- Milesius
of Spain:From whence all the nobility of Ireland is
descended.
- Heremon:
his son.
He had the following sons:
- Muimne: This Monarch was buried at Croaghan,
situated near Elphin, in Co.Roscommon. In the
early ages, Croaghan became the capital of
Connaught and a residence of the ancient King of
Ireland; and at Croaghan the states of Connaught
held conventions, to make laws and inaugurate
their Kings. There, too, about a century before
the Christian era, the Monarch Eochy Feidlioch
erected a royal residence and a great rath,
called Rath Cruachan, after his queen, Cruachan
Croidheirg, mother of Maeve (famous from Red
Branch stories)
- Luigne
- Laighean
- Trial or Eurialus (Irial Faidh). He asserted his
rights to his father's crown, and succeeded in
gaining it in a pitched battle
- Irial Faidh (a prophet): his son, was the 10th
Monarch of Ireland; died 1670 BC. This was a very learned
king; could foretell things to come; and caused much of
the country to be cleared of the ancient forest. He
likewise built seven royal palaces(Rath Ciombaoigh, Rath
Coincheada, Rath Mothuig, Rath Buirioch, Rath Luachat,
Rath Croicne, and Rath Boachoill). He won four remarkable
battles over his enemies: Ard Inmath, at Teabtha, where
Stirne, the son of Dubh, son of Fomhar, was slain; the
second battle was at Teanmhuighe, against the Fomhoraice,
where Eichtghe, their leader , was slain; the third was
the battle of Loch Muighe, where Lugrot, the son of
Moghfeibhis, was slain; and the fourth was the battle of
Cuill Martho, where the four sons of Heber were defeated.
Irial died in the second year after this battle, having
reigned 10 years, and was buried at Magh Muagh. During
his reign a great part of the country was laid open, and
freed from woods.
- Eithrial: his son; was the 11th Monarch; reigned
20 years. This prince was distinguished for his great
learning; he wrote, with his own hand, the history and
travels of the Badelians; nor was he less remarkable for
his valor and military accomplishments. He was slain by
Conmaol, the son of Heber Fionn, at the battle of
Soirrean, in Leinster (1650 BC) leaving only one son

homage to the Irish Monarch; seven large woods were also
cut down.
- Fiacha Labhrainn: his son; was the 18th Monarch;
reigned 24 years, slew Eochaidh Faobharglas, of the line
of Heber, at the battle of Carman. During his reign all
the inhabitants of Scotland were brought in subjection to
the Irish Monarchy, and the conquest was secured by his
son the 20th Monarch. Fiacha at length (1448 BC) fell in
the battle of Bealgadain, by the hands of Eochaidh Mumho,
the son of Moefeibhis, of the race of Heber Fionn. He was
called Labhrainn because during his reign the stream of
Tubher Labhrainn began to flow.
- Aongus Olmucach: his son; was the 20th Monarch. He
was named for having a breed of swine of a much larger
size than any in Ireland, the words "oll" and
"mucca" signifying "great swine." He
was a valiant and war-like prince, and fought the
following battles: the battle of Claire, the battle of
Moigen Cgiath, in Connaught; the battle of Glaise
Fraochain, where Frachain Faiah was killed; and in his
reign the Picts again refused to pay the tribute imposed
on them 250 years before, by Heremon, but this Monarch
went with a strong army into Alba and in thirty pitched
battles overcame them and forced them to pay the required
tribute. Aongus was at length slain by Eana, in the ba
ttle of Carman, 1409 BC

- Duach Ladhrach: his son; was the 59th Monarch for
10 years. He was distinguished by the name Duach Lagrach
by reason of his being so strict and hasty in the
execution of justice; that he was impatient and would not

and tried for the offense; the word, "Lagrach,"
means speed and suddenness. He was killed by Lughaidh
Laighe, son of Oilioll Fionn, 737 BC

About the time of Mogh Corb's birth, the common people (Firbolgs
perhaps) rose up and overthrew their leaders (Milesian

years. Eventually they returned, supposedly after being
