Annaly
Annaly is an Irish lordship and former principality, named for its conqueror Angaile, or An Uillin, ancestor of the Ó Fearghail.
The territory of Annaly coincides with modern County Longford and was conquered in the 10th century by An Uillin, a King of Fortúatha whose line were chiefs of the Muintir Angaile, a clan comprising the Mac Gofraidh (Jefferies), the Mac Murchadha (Murphy), and the Ó Súilleacháin (O'Sullivan) families. An Uillin's great-grandson Fearghail was the progenitor of the Ó Fearghail family, who were historically the Princes of Annaly. The lineage of Fearghaile also provided chiefs of the Dál Messin Corb dynasty and the Uí Garrchon, a clan comprising the Ó Corra (Carr), Ó Guaire (Gore), and Ó Lionnain (Lennon) families.
