URCHADH Be Binn Inion

Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9_Binn_inion_Urchadh
Bé Binn inion Urchadh ( Beibhinn) Princess of the Uí Briúin Seóla and Queen of 
Thomond, fl. early 10th century.

Bé Binn was a daughter of King Urchadh mac Murchadh of Maigh Seóla (reigned 
891?-943). She was married to King Cennétig mac Lorcáin of Thomond (died 951). 
Cennétig is known to have had as many as eleven sons and at least one daughter, 
Órlaith íngen Cennétig (Queen of Ireland, died 941). The only child positively assigned 
to her by Cennétig - who had a number of wives - was High King of Ireland, Brian Boru 
(c. 941–23 April 1014). This makes Bé Binn ancestor to all subsequent Dál gCais 
O'Briens and their offshoots.

After the death of Cennétig, she appears to have been remarried to a king of the 
Corco Modhruadh (Corcomroe), a region in north-west County Clare. By him she had 
Lochlann and Conchobar, ancestors of the Ó Lochlainn and Ó Conchubhair 
Corcomroe.

Her sister Creassa inion Urchadh was a wife of King Tadg mac Cathail of Connacht, 
while another sister, Caineach inion Urchadh, appears to have married the ancestor of 
the Clann Coscraig sept of the Uí Briúin Seóla. Her brother, Donnchadh, succeeded 
their father as king.
