Kings of Uí Maine
Uí Maine was the name of a kingdom situated in south Connacht , consisting of all of County Galway east of Athenry , all of southern and central County Roscommon .
In prehistory it was believed to have spanned the River Shannon , and in the 8th century even briefly extended its dominion west to Galway Bay . It existed as an independent kingdom from prehistoric times, and as a subject kingdom up to the end of the medieval era.
The acknowledged senior branch of the Ó Ceallaigh (O'Kelly ) Uí Maine is the O'Kelly de Gallagh and Tycooly (see Irish nobility and Chief of the Name ), and are Counts of the Holy Roman Empire .[citation needed ] Other branches include: O'Kelly of Aughrim, O'Kelly of Mullaghmore, O'Kelly of Clondoyle, O'Kelly de Galway, Ó Ceallaigh Iarthar Chláir, O'Kelly of Gurtray, O'Kelly of Screen, and O'Kelly Farrell.
