Abstract (cited)
The Crecraige was a small túath that occupied territory in Munster and Connacht in early medieval Ireland. Isolated individuals from the Crecraige are mentioned in genealogies; however, they do not have their own expanded genealogical record. Nevertheless, they play a significant role in a few tales of Munster origin. According to the stories of the “Kings’ cycle,” the Eóganacht dynasty originated in Crecraige because the grandfather and mother of Fiachu Muillethan—the mythological king of Munster and an ancestor of the Eóganachta—descended from them.
