Aodh Caoimh/Comb, ‘Aodh the Gentle’ b. c.570– first Christian King of Munster crowned by St. Brendan “The Navigator” of Clonfert. His son Cathal was g-g-g-g-g-g-grandfather of Brian Boroimhe.
Cathal from whom the O’Briens, Conghalach from whom the O nEoghain O’Neill (Aodh Caomh, Conghal, Iorchlosach, Flann, Tuatha, Ionnrachtach, Niall), and Congall ancestor of O’Noonan of Thomond and South Connaught. Aodh Caomh was the first Christian king of Munster at Cashel; his poet Colm mac Leimin was influenced by St. Ita of Kileedy (just northwest of Dromcolliher) and at age 50 was baptised Colmán (‘Little Dove’; 522-604) by St. Brendan “The Navigator” of Clonfert (est. 557), himself raised by rhe mystic Ita), becoming first bishop Cloyne (two miles east of Cork City; the diosese extended to Rockchapel and Tullylease in the northwest, Mitchelstown in the northeast). Brendan and Colmán settled a dispute over the right to the throne of Munster by selecting Aodh Caoimh; Brendan consecrated Aodh as king of Munster. Colmán wrote the metrical immram praise-poem Voyage of Brendan that inspired the Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis.
See Maurice Ohynnevan and his son Maurice who were both among the clergy in Cloyne diocese in 1301; the allegiance must have begun with Congall son of Aodh Caoimh.
Congall his second son b. c.615- . “Congall is ancestor of O’Noonan of Thomond and South Connaught.” He is mentioned in the list of kings in the Annals of Clonmacnoise as Congall Kymnajor [Caiomh náire, ‘Caomh the shameful’?] in A.D. 627. The name Congall is translated as “With-fury”.
