• The
Delbhna Tir Dha Locha (of the Two Lakes), or
Delbhna Feadha (of the Heather), were based in the area of
County Galway between
Lough Corrib and
Lough Lurgan/Galway Bay. Their chiefs took the surname MacConraoi, or MacConroy, later Anglicized to King. The MacConraoi held Gno Mor while their cadets, O'hEanna or O'Heney, held Gno Beg, but in the annals MacConraoi is always styled Ri or Tighearna Thira Da Locha. • The
Delbhna Cuile Fabhair ('Delbhna of the hill of the well') once held
Maigh Seóla, the area east of Lough Corrib in
County Galway, until conquered by the
Uí Briúin Seóla (who later became the
Muintir Murchada, then the
Ó Flaithbertaighs, who were in turn later driven into
Connemara, where they became known as Kings of
Iar Connacht). Their chiefs took the surname O'Fathairtaigh or Faherty. • The
Delbhna Nuadat, or
Delbhna Uí Maine, were lords of a large section that is now Athlone in
County Roscommon, situated between the Suck and
Shannon Rivers. From the early historic era they were a subject people of the
Uí Maine. This place is where the Uí Maine expelled the old kings of the province. Their chiefs took the surname O'Flannagain or Flannagan. • The
Delbhna bEthra ('bear-Delbhna') may have once formed a single kingdom with the Delbhna Nuadat until subjugated by the
Uí Maine. By the late 5th century they had fallen under the control of the
Uí Néill. Their chiefs took the surname Mac Cochláin or Coughlan, and their territory was what is now
Garrycastle in
County Offaly, but did not include the Parish of Lusmagh, as that belonged to the
MacCuolahans/Ó hUallacháins of
Síol Anmchadha. • The
Delbhna Mor ('great Delbhna') were located in what is now
Delvin in
County Westmeath. Their chiefs took the surname O'Finnallain or Fenelon. They lived together with one of the seven branches of the
Soghain. • The
Delbhna Teannmhagh ('Delbhna of Teannmhagh', a plain in Connacht), or
Delbhna Iarthair Mhidhe ('Delbhna of Western
Mide'), at one time controlled what is now Rathconrath in
County Westmeath. Their chiefs took the surname Ua Scolaidhe or O'Scully. ==See also==
