Notes for Domangart I Of Argyll King Of Dalriada

Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (170:3).

the following is taken from an Internet posting of Michael R. Davidson of Edinburgh. Scotland, on 23 Oct 1995:

Domangart mac Fergus

Domangart succeeded to the kingship upon his father's death in 501. The _Senchus_ and other sources note that Feidelm Fotchain bore Domangart two sons. According to the genealogies, Feidelm was the daughter of Brian mac Eochaid Mugmedon, the ancestor of the kings of Airgialla, in the northern part of Ireland. Annals make no mention of Domangart excepting his death in 507, and he was succeeded by his son Comgall. Children:

1. Comgall died in 538, and was succeeded by his brother Gabran. 2. *Gabran.

O'Hart inserts a generation between DOMANGART and GABHRAN - Eochaidh (d.535).

Based on merged profiles,

Born circa 460, 472 or 476 in Dal Riata

Died circa 504, 506 or 560

King of Dál Riata (aka Dalriada or Dalriata) - parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dál_Riata -SPF -------------------- Domangart the First of Dalriada, also known as Domangart mac Fergus, was the King of Dalriada from about 501-507, following his father's death. Domangart married Feldem Foltchain, daughter of Brion, son of Eochaid Mugmedon. Brion was an older half -brother of the famous Niall of the Nine Hostages. This marriage is in good agreement with the revised chronology of Carney" Studies in Irish Literature and History" for the fifth century, which puts the death of Niall at about 542.

-------------------- King of Dál Riata, early sixth century.

Domangart is given a reign of 5 years by both the Duan Albanach [Duan Albanach 131] and the king lists [Poppleton MS, Lists "D", ,"F", "I", "K", KKES, 253, 264, 270, 281, 286], a reign length which agrees with the annals (which, however, are probably not contemporary for this period, and quite possibly also not independent of the king lists). For the epithet of mac Nisse (see below), see the page of his father Fergus, who is given the same epithet.
