 The Historicity of the Early Irish Annals:
In this essay, therefore, the annals to be treated are the Annals of Ulster, the Annals of Inisfallen, the Annals of Tigernach, and the Annals of Clonmacnoise.
It is thought that the present annals derive a great deal of their material from these two sources up until about the middle of the tenth century, when Clonard appears to move to Clonmacnoise.
In the matter of the early Irish annals, therefore, it must be decided that each draws on the tradition of a single chronicle, probably originating in Iona, that covered the major events of the world up until the early eighth century.

 Annals of the Four Masters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Entry for A.D. The Annals of the Four Masters or the Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland by the Four Masters are a chronicle of medieval Irish history.
The Connellan translation included the annals from the 11th to the 17th centuries complete, and was the only version to have a four-colour frontispiece and include a large folding map showing the location of families in Ireland.
The reliability and usefulness of the Annals as a historical source has sometimes been questioned on the grounds that they were limited to accounts of the births, deaths and activities of the Gaelic Irish nobility and often ignore wider social trends or events.

 The Highlanders of Scotland
It is still possible, however, in a point of this nature, to make a considerable approximation to the truth, by reasoning as well from the natural consequences of the events which we know to have happened previously to the revolution as from the condition of the country after it.
These chronicles consist of what are generally termed the Latin Lists or Chronicles of several of the Scottish monasteries written in the twelfth century; and of the Albanic Duan, a work composed in the year 1050, and consequently the oldest and best authority for the list of their kings.
This appears very clear from the Pictish Chronicle, for in 865, when the annals of Ulster mention that the Northmen ravaged the Cruithen [sic] tuath, or northern Picts, the Pictish Chronicle, in relating the same event, uses the expression Pictavia, instead of Cruithen [sic] tuath.

 Genealogy of the MacLochlainn Families of Inishowen
We know from a reading of the annals that Clann Néill were in control of Tullaghoge and the south of Tír nEoghain and bore the surname O Neill while Clann Domhnaill were in control of Inishowen and the north and did not bear a surname.
By 1093 the Annals of Inisfallen are contemporaneous so as the entry survives within the main text of the original manuscript it is a good witness that Domhnall was grandson of Lochlainn A as grandson of Maelsechnaill.
From a reading of the annals the lineage that gave rise to the MacLochlainns migrated northwards between the death of Ardghal in Tullaghoge in 1064 and the death of Domhnall in Derry in 1121.

In response to previous requests to return the annals to this country, the library authorities contended that they could not do so, on the grounds that they were statute bound not to dispose of such bequests.

The chronology of the Irish annals is confused, and it can be shown that the compiler of the Annales Cambriae took discrete blocks of annals, maintaining the chronological relationships within each block, but not setting each block in correct relation to other blocks.
The Irish annals seem to have had access to a northern British chronicle, from which some of the eleven early entries relating to Britain probably derive.
Yet the Annales place his death in 548 or 550 (the date of the plague in the Irish annals); which is consistent with the two succeeding entries, the death of Gabran mc Domangairt in 559 and the departure of Columba for Britain in 563.

 King John
All the Irish annals record that Cathal Crobderg O Conchobair submitted to King John, and some mention that he brought with him a large force and that he was in the royal army which went in pursuit of Hugh de Lacy through Meath and Louth, to Carlingford and on to Carrickfergus.
The report of John's expedition in the contemporaneous Annals of Inisfallen supplies some information not in the Histoire, and differs too in defining the issue over which the negotiations collapsed.
It should be pointed out in this regard that - and it serves to emphasise the point - this set of annals, the Annals of Inisfallen, is independent of the Annals of the Four Masters, yet in the latter case too the emphasis is on the hostage question rather than tribute.

Petrie’s already-mentioned researches prove that the most complete agreement exists between the oldest surviving inscriptions, which date from the 6th and 7th centuries, and the annals, and O'Donovan is of the opinion that these begin to report historical facts as early as the second and third centuries of our era.

The Annals of Ulster, a rich source of information for events in medieval Scotland, note in laconic style tinder the year 1130, "a battle between the men of Scotland and the men of Moray, and in it four thousand of the men of Moray fell, including their king, Angus.
Some hint may be provided by the Annals of Inisfallen, which described the "slaughter" of the Moravians at Stracathro and clearly regarded Moray as distinct from Scotia.
Chronicles and annals, contemporary and otherwise, of Norman, English, Scottish, and Irish provenance, hint at a persistent and tenacious opposition to the Canmore kings of Scots from the death of Angus of Moray at Stracathro in 1130 (if not earlier) until the murder of an infant MacWilliam at Forfar a century later.

Nora Chadwick (1963b:178) has shown by correlating other events in the Irish annals to securely dated events, such as the death of Columba and the arrival of Augustine, that the Irish annals predated events in this section by three years, implying that the battle occurred in 616.

 THE CORCU DUIBNE:
Although none of the sources consulted gives a date of birth or death for either this Corc or for Cairbre Musc, O'Hart gives the death of Conaire II as A.D. 165.(2) This date is found to be the same as that given in the Annals of the Four Masters.
The Annals of the Four Masters suggest that the O'Sheas may have continued to fight for their former territories, since, in 1158, "Ua Failbhe, King of Corcu Duibne, was slain by the Uí Séaghdha." (8) A conjectural genealogy of the Corcu Duibne kings can be constructed from the surviving literary sources and annals.
In conclusion, we may develop at least a broad outline of the earliest origins of the Uí Séaghdha by studying the admittedly fragmentary references in the surviving annals and archeological record, and searching for parallels in the "semi-legendary" ancient genealogies and histories.
