Óengus Bolg
Óengus Bolg, son of
Conall Corc.[3][4] This serves to legitimize the coming rule of the Eóganachta in Munster, still ruled by the powerful Dáirine
, of whom the Corcu Loígde are the sovereign royal sept.
The ruling sept of Corcu Loígde during the later Middle Ages, the Uí Builc,[1] took their name from him. They later became known as the O'Driscolls.[2][5]
Mythology
Thus, according to O'Rahilly, he is present to divinely represent the Érainn in a marriage to the Eóganachta.Notes
