Line 4:
'''Clann Cosgraigh''' was a branch of the [[Uí Briúin]] dynasty and also the name of the district on the eastern side of [[Lough Corrib]], [[County Galway]] which they inhabited and ruled prior to the Norman invasion.
Its chiefs were the Mac Aedha (now rendered [[McHugh]]), who, like the [[Muintir Murchada]], claimed descent from [[Cenn Fáelad mac Colgan]], King of Connacht.<ref>{{cite book |last1=O'Flaherty |first1=Roderic |title=A Chorographical Description of West or H-Iar Connaught |date=1684 |publisher=Irish Archeological Society |location=Dublin |page=6 |edition=1846}}</ref> Early generations of the lineage competed with the Muintir Murchada and [[Uí Fiachrach Aidhne]] for the kingship of South Connacht.
In 1124 ''Muireadhach (i.e. lord of Clann-Coscraigh), the son of Aedh, son of Ruaidhri, died an ecclesiastic.''
