This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 156.110.148.146 (talk) at 00:57, 14 February 2018 (Removed "Ua Flaithbertaigh" as the surname of Aedh mac Ruaidri, who was not really an O'Flaherty. Reasoning is found in linked entry for Muireadhach mac Aedh.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Ruaidhri Mac Aedha, Lord of Clann Cosgraigh, died 1170.

Mac Aeda was a descendant of Aedh mac Ruaidri, via his son, Muireadhach mac Aedh, whose descendants took the surname Mac Aedha.

The Clann Mac Aedha were rulers of Clann Cosgraigh, a district on the east shore of Lough Corrib in what is now County Galway.

Ruaidhri Mac Aedha died on a pilgrimage to Tuam in 1170. A 13th-century member of the family would become Archbishop of Tuam.

The surname is now rendered McHugh or Hughes.
