Duinseach ingen Duach, Queen of Tara, fl. 500.[1][2]

Background

[edit]

Duinseach was a daughter of Dauí Tenga Uma, King of the Connachta.[3] She was married to King Muirchertach mac Muiredaig (died 532), King of Tara.[4][5] They were ancestors of the Cenél nEógain.

Battle of Seaghais

[edit]

Duinseach is said to have been responsible for the battle of Seaghais in 500, where her husband killed her father.[3][2]

Annalistic account of Seaghais

[edit]

An account of the battle is given sub anno 499 (sic 500) in the Annals of the Four Masters:

The battle of Seaghais was fought by Muircheartach mac Earca against Duach Teangumha, King of Connaught. The cause of the battle was this, viz.: Muircheartach was a guarantee between the King and Eochaidh Tirmcharna, his brother, and Eochaidh was taken prisoner against the protection of Muircheartach. In proof of which Ceannfaeladh said:

  • The battle of Seaghais;
  • a certain woman caused it;
  • red blood was over lances,
  • By Duiseach, daughter of Duach.
  • The battle of Dealga, the battle of Mucramha,
  • and the battle of Tuaim Drubha,
  • With the battle of Seaghais,
  • wherein fell Duach Teangumha.

Against the Connaughtmen these battles were gained.
