Reign

During his era, Dunchadh's kingdom endured border conflicts initiated by the Connachta, by the successive kings Donn Cothaid mac Cathail (d.773), Flaithrí mac Domnaill (d.777) and Artgal mac Cathail(d.791). The first notable incident was the battle of Athleague in 770:

The battle of Achadh Liag was fought between the Ui Briuin and Ui Maine, wherein the Ui Maine were defeated.

This was part of a wider conflict which would see the Uí Briúin Ai of the Connachta become the dominant power in the province, which would henceforth bear their name, Connacht.

Ui Maine would, by the end of the following century, remain mainly independent but it marked the beginning of several centuries of being accorded the status of second or third-class state, under overlords such as the Kings of Connacht, the Earl of Ulster, the Clanricarde and finally the Earl of Clanricarde.

It was also in these years that Thomond west of the River Shannon would become annexed to Munster by the ancestors of the Dál gCais. It remains part of that province to this day.
