GIOLLA BRIGHDE MAC CON MIDHE cct.

 A-tá sunn seanchas Mu-áin ó chath cairrge seanChu-áin ríogha Banbha go mbearair gníomha is gabhla geinealaigh. Niall Naoighiallach an neirt truim seanathair Mu-áin mhéarchuirr go Muir nIocht ní fhuil achadh nach fuil sliocht a seanathar. Mac Eoghain mhic Néill náraigh athair Mu-áin mhórdhálaigh glas na bhfuineadhach bhfuileach Muireadhach cas céadghuineach. Earc inghean ríogh Alban aird máthair Mu-áin mhir mhórghairg; Móirbhinn a seanmháthair sin; dearbháchaidh sinn go suaithnidh. Inghean ríogh Sagsan sleaghaigh Móirbhinn máthair Muireadhaigh súile gorma agus glac bhán mac mar mhac Morna Mu-án. Muircheartach mhac Earca fhinn do ghabh Albain is Éirinn —éinbhean fa deaghmháthair dháib— dearbhráthair méirgheal Mu-áin. Téid lá a Teamhraigh—toisg reab- hach— athair Mu-áin Muireadhach dá dtarla ar an seachrán soir a gealchlár Banbha i mBreatnoibh. Dá dtarla rí Gabhráin ghuirm ar Eirc inghin ríogh Loghuirnn go ros líon grádh Chuinn chais ó shál a bhuinn go bathais. Téid adhbhar airdríogh Bhanbha i n-Albain 'n-a hathardha mac Eoghain Teamhra dá thairm do shealbha an leoghain Loghairnn. Seacht mbliadhna dhéag sa tír thoir do Mhuireadhach mhac Eoghain gur imdhigh tar gleannmhuir nguirm le hinghin leannmhair Loghuirnn. Ráinig go bun na Bóinne mac ríogh Fódla fleadhmhóire; codlaidh san phurt—níor pheall te— is a cheann i n-ucht Eirce. Mucaidh Eoghain a athar láimh re Bóinn na mbreaclachan do-chí i mbun innbhir fhóid Bhreagh inghin n-óig agus aoinfhear. Gabhais éad 'gá fhaicsin sain mucaidh ainbhfeargach Eoghain; táinig bás an damhna dhe; don Bhanbha níor chás coisge. Sleagh i Muireadhach gur mharbh sáithis an t-aitheach athgharbh; leannán sluagh Gaoidheal do ghuin; truagh a mhaoidheamh do mhucaidh. Gluaisis Earc go hEoghan n-ard innisis dó a mhac mórgharg; cuirthear teaghlach úr le hEirc go múr Teamhrach dá thoirbheirt. Bearthar i dTeamhraigh is-teach an rí i n-aireagal uaigneach; i mbarr an bhrogha acht an bhean ní robha ann dá fheitheamh. Tig eas tar airdrígh bhfear bhFáil a froighidh ghil an ghrianáin; buailis go garbh Earc an eis go ros marbh tre theacht thairis. Eas oile i gcéadóir do chuir luibh 'n-a béal go ros beathaigh; ar dteacht a hanma san eis tarla Earc ar a haithris. Do láidh barr an luis leabhair an bhean i mbéal Muireadhaigh; don Bhanbha do budh beart sídh teacht a anma san airdrígh. A Fhir do dhealbh an domhan is duit as dual altoghadh mar thearna slat Teamhra ón tán, go ndearna mac mar Mhu-án. Síol Mu-áin mhóir mheic Earca saoire ná síol cruithneachta laoich goirminnse finne Fáil, gille coirmmilse Cruacháin. Níor chanta, a choinnle Teamhra, taoiseach re bhar dtighearna nó go mbeath oireacht mar ibh ag toigheacht go teach taoisigh. Tarraidh tighearna an tíre eochracha na hairdríghe treabha ban nach bí ag fearaibh rí go ngabh Ó Gairmleadhaidh. Niall Ó Gairmleadhaidh Geirge garbh móide 's mín Gaoidheilge ní budh mór ar cách a chrodh a shlógh an tráth a- tá-san. Ata.
