Biography

Based on earlier accounts, James Hardiman relates that:

"This year (1580) Conchubhar Mac-an-Righ, alias Connor King, an inhabitant of Arran, died at the extraordinary age of two hundred and twenty years. He remembered when there were but three stone houses, together with the abbey, the red earl's house and Athy's castle, in Galway; a small chapel where St. Nicholas's church stands, and another on the site of St. Mary's, in the west suburbs. It is also added, that he killed a beef in his own house every Christmas, for one hundred and eighty years."
