Tanaide Mor mac Dúinnín Ó Maolconaire
- Tanaide Mor mac Dúinnín Ó Maolconaire
Tanaide Mor mac Dúinnín Ó Maolconaire was a member of the Ó Maolconaire family of Connacht, who served as historians and poets to the Síl Muireadaigh, and their rulers, the Ó Conchubhair Kings of Connacht.
He became "Ollamh" in 1270, succeding Dubsúilech (and possibly Dunlang) Ó Maolconaire on the "seat in the Ollam's Chair of the province of Connacht," and was himself a son of a previous "Ollamh," Dúinnín Ó Maolconaire. His genealogy in the "Annals of Connacht" is given as "Tanaide Mor mac Dúinnín meic Nede meic Conaing Buide Ó Maolconaire." The same source quotes a fragment of verse which relates that "Tanaide the teacher/a learned Ollamh/son of Dúinnín/spent forty famous years/on the floor of Liss Lerthaile," the latter place presumably being where he lived and taught his pupils.
His obituary in 1310 states "Tanaide Ó Maolconaire, Ollamh in poetry and history of the Síl Muireadaigh, died at the beginning of this year, that is, in the hard spring." His immediate successor is unknown; the next person named in the office was Tanaide Ó Maolconaire who died in 1385.
