Donnchadh Ó Dubhda
Donnchadh Ó Dubhda, King of Ui Fiachrach Muaidhe, fl. 1213.
Life
Donnchadh is almost wholly known from Araile do fhlathaibh Ua nDubhda, which says of him:
- Donnchadh Ó Dubhda [came] with a fleet of fifty-six ships from Innse Gall and came ashore in Inis Raithin among Inse Modh in Umhall, and he seized his own land free of tribute from Cathal Crobhdearg Ua Conchobair.
