Ui Maine Septs / Family branches in the east of the Connacht Province

    Their original territory of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch Ui Maine Septs in the east of the Connacht Province was initially held by pre - Milesian Celts who were a confederation, including the Sogain who were Scythian Cruthin Picts, and the Dal na Druithne who may have been a Sept of the Scythian Tuatha De Danann. Their territory was in the south of Co. Roscommon, and in parts of Co. Galway and in the adjoining southern territory in what is now the north of Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province. They were subjugated and absorbed initially by the Milesian Gaelic Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn Celts under 87.Eochy / Echu “Doimhlen” / Dubhlen who was to be the father also of the 3 Colla brothers who were to found their own personal kingdom later on of Oirghialla / Oriel in Southern Ulster and nearby in Co. Louth in the north - east of Northern Leinster. 87.Eochy "Doimhlen" was a brother to *87.Fiachu “Strabtine” the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 120th King of Tara / Ireland in 285 AD. Later on *87.Fiachu "Sraibhtine's" paternal grandson, 89.Maine “Mor” who was also a brother to *89.Eochy / Echu "Mugmedon" the 124th King of Tara / Ireland in 357 AD secured more territory in the south - east of Connacht from the Fir Bolg Septs there, and it all eventually became part of the Ui Maine kingdom.
