Life

Mac Coisdealbhaigh was a member of the Costello family of Connacht. His brother was the soldier and poet, Tomás Láidir Mac Coisdealbhaigh.

Dudley (or Dubhaltach) Costello was an officer in the army of the Confederate Catholics in 1642, and later became a colonel in the Spanish Royal Army. Returning to Ireland after the Restoration and disappointed by his failure to recover the family estates, he devoted the rest of his life to wreaking vengeance on the new Hiberno-Norman Dillon landlords. Proclaimed a tory and a rebel in the summer of 1666, Mac Coisdealbhaigh "carried out a vendetta of raids and burnings against Viscount Dillon in the baronies of Costello and Gallen, in east Mayo, until he was shot dead by the soldiers of Captain Theobald Dillon in Coolcarney ... Bunnyconnellan, early in March 1667." (p. 236). His head was hung from the St. James Gate in Dublin, today the home of Guinness.

He is featured in Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh's Leabhar na nGenealach at 827.2, as Dubhaltach Caoch, and in his Cuimre (1416.1) as Dubhaltach Colonel, mac Suirtain Buidhe Mec Goisdelbh.

A 19th-century namesake and kinsman was Dudley Costello.

The Muintir Eolais of Conmaicne Réin, were nobles of Gaelic Ireland. For seven hundred years from the 8th century, they lived and ruled an area roughly conterminous to present-day south County Leitrim. Their territory comprised the lands named Maigh Nissi and Maigh Rein, today the baronies of Leitrim and Mohill respectively.

The Barony of Navan was an Irish feudal barony which was held by the de Angulo family, whose name became Nangle. It was a customary title: in other words, the holder of the title was always referred to as a Baron, and this privilege was in practice hereditary, but the Baron was not a peer in the strict sense, and was not entitled to a seat in the Irish House of Lords.
