Dub Chablaigh ingen Cathal, Empress of the Irish, died 1009.
Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George's Channel. Ireland is the second-largest island of the British Isles, the third-largest in Europe, and the twentieth-largest on Earth.
Dubh Chablaigh was a daughter of King Cathal mac Conchobar mac Taidg of Connacht, who died in 1010. Her mother's identity is uncertain. Her brothers and half-brothers were Tadg in Eich Gil, Brian, Conchobor, In Cléirech, and Tadhg Díreach.
King, or king regnant is the title given to a male monarch in a variety of contexts. The female equivalent is queen regnant, while the title of queen on its own usually refers to the consort of a king.
Cathal mac Conchobar mac Taidg was king of Connacht.
Connacht, formerly spelled Connaught, is one of the provinces of Ireland, in the west of the country. Up to the 9th century it consisted of several independent major kingdoms.
She was the fourth wife of Brian Boru and is thought to have been the mother of his son, Domnall, who died in 1010 or 1011. He was survived by a son, Diarmait, who died in 1051. Brian had three known daughters but it is unknown if Dub Chablaigh was the mother of any of them.
Brian Boru was an Irish king who ended the domination of the High Kingship of Ireland by the Uí Néill. Building on the achievements of his father, Cennétig mac Lorcain, and especially his elder brother, Mathgamain, Brian first made himself King of Munster, then subjugated Leinster, eventually becoming High King of Ireland. He was the founder of the O'Brien dynasty.
Brian styled himself Emperor of the Irish in 1005 at Armagh, which is the origin of her title.
Armagh is the county town of County Armagh and a city in Northern Ireland, as well as a civil parish. It is the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland – the seat of the Archbishops of Armagh, the Primates of All Ireland for both the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Ireland. In ancient times, nearby Navan Fort was a pagan ceremonial site and one of the great royal capitals of Gaelic Ireland. Today, Armagh is home to two cathedrals and the Armagh Observatory, and is known for its Georgian architecture.
