The O\'Neill dynasty is a group of families thathave held prominent positions and titles. The O\'Neills take their name fromNiall Glúndub, an early 10th-century High King of Ireland from the CenélnEógain. Confusion then arises because the Cenél nEógain, descendants of Eóganmac Néill, were a branch of the Uí Néill dynasty who took their name from Niallof the Nine Hostages, a legendary 5th century King of Tara. The Uí Néill werein turn a branch of the Connachta, descendants of the legendary Conn of theHundred Battles, son of Fedlimid Rechtmar, son of Tuathal Techtmar.
