Hello everyone, While researching a book titled Tipperary. By J.H.Cotter we find a refernce to Meagher on page 133. "... when proclaiming him Lord: and the Comarba should be at his shoulder he should rise before the Comarba: and that Meagher was King of Ely." Supposedly written by one of the Four Masters. Does anyone, have any other references to this that might state the date or time frame this ocurred? We would like to attempt some cross-referencing/verification. It is not clear if it pertains to all of Ely- North or South Ely. As it is clear there were different rulers for each. Please forward any suggestions. Be well, Clayton Kennedys?

Well, it is clearly after 450 AD when Ireland was christianized and I seriously doubt before 1,000 AD as I do not recall a Meagher as king of Ely before then. I pay little attention after 1,000 AD so.....I would guess that between 1000 and 1164 AD when the Normans invaded? Maybe later as there were still regional petty kings in power. Maybe somebody has the [now rare and valuable] book on Ely and can see if he is mentioned.
