Topic: Annals of Tigernach


  
  Ecclesiastical Annals
The prototype of all medieval annals is the famous "Chronographus", or Calendar, of 354, an official document of the Roman Empire, containing in embryo the annals of later periods.
The "Annals of Innisfallen", compiled in the abbey of that name on an island in the Lakes of Killarney, where its ruins are still visible, written in Irish and Latin, are generally ascribed to the year 1215, though "there is good reason to believe that they were commenced two centuries earlier" (Joyce).
Monastic chronicles and annals are not free from this tendency, and often begin with an account of the life of the saint who founded the abbey, concerning themselves more with asceticism than with the historical facts and events, which would be of such value to us to-day.

 Index of Names in Irish Annals: Tigernach
For example, when the Annals of the Four Masters were written from 1632 to 1636, they covered events that occurred centuries and millenia before (including legendary history).
So, when an entry in this set of annals refers to a person who lived in the year 738, the spelling used for that person's name is very likely not using the spelling that would have been used in 738.
In some cases, the spellings listed in these Annals may not be appropriate for the year referenced in the Annal entry.

 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 is probably the one that rings bells with most people, but there are a lot of them and they're a little on the difficult side to understand.
The Annals of Ulster are the oldest and the most continuous for the early period, and were compiled initially at Iona.
There are a number of minor Annals as well, with much less interesting or descriptive titles; one of them was compiled in the 12th century, and has a much more narrative focus for a great deal of the material, and goes by the name of the Fragmentary Annals of Ireland.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ecclesiastical Annals
By the side of these episcopal chronicles there appear an immense number of local monastic annals, which record with minute fidelity things of interest to the monastery — donations, misfortunes, floods, storms, transfers of relics, etc. — a miscellany reminding us of the various items of our daily papers.
It was for the illiterate people — that is to say, the great mass of the populace who could not understand Latin —; that the first chronicles and annals in the vernacular were intended.
All this class of literature — annals as well as chronicles —; must be controlled by official documents and parallel sources of information if they are to serve as material for the history of the distant past.

The 'Annals of Tigernach' add that Æthelfrith's brother, who it calls Eanfrith, was killed by Mael Umai, son of Baetán (a member of the Cenél nEogain branch of the Ui-Néill).
The 'Annals of Clonmacnoise' say that the action against Fiachna (son of Demmán) was in revenge for the killing, in 626, of his predecessor, Fiachna Lurgan.
The annals do not say who was doing the besieging, and tack their mention of the it onto the end of their record of the battle of Glenn Mairison (one of, Dál Riatan king, Domnall Brecc's defeats), so it may be that those two are connected.

 Genealogy of the MacLochlainn Families of Inishowen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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.
The Annals of Tigernach in 1064 identify Ardghal as Ardghal mac Lochlainn ua Néill. O Neill is a well attested surname within the Cenél nEoghain at that time and so the identification would appear to be of (personal name)(patronymic)(surname).
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.

Dark Age annals can throw up some pretty incredible stories, but none so incredible as the story of the giant woman washed up on the shores of Scotland - a woman just under two hundred feet tall, with a body as white as a swan.
The Annals of the Four Masters - 891AD agree with the Annals of Ulster except her hair had grown another foot and was 18 feet long.
It does, however, demonstrate how daring and pioneering Viking culture was at the turn of the first millennium and also how far it widened the horizons of the Scots who were embroiled in their constant adventuring.

 Meteorological Reportage - Foundations of Irish Culture AD 600-850, NUI Galway   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Uniquely among European history sources, the annals report on meteorological phenomena that provide valuable evidence for confirming the chronology of western history between AD 442 and 1133.
For instance, when the Annals of Ulster record that “A huge dragon was seen, with great thunder after it, at the end of the autumn” in AD 745, the language probably reflects the heightened sunspot activity in that year.
Of special interest to students of Irish history is the memorial for AD 664 in the Annals of Ulster, Annals of Tigernach, Chronicon Scottorum, and Annals of the Four Masters: “Darkness on the kalends of May [1 May] at the ninth hour and in the same summer the sky seemed to be on fire”.

 Arthurian References in the Annales Cambriae   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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.

 Gildas and the battle of Badon Hill
A novel approach for those wanting to include the Annals Cambriae entry is to assume that the dates of the 'unreliable' Annals are over by about 16 years, thus placing Badon at 500 and hence Camlann at c.520 AD; fitting in with their solution of translation 1.
The Annals Cambriae are also confirmed by the Annals of Tigernach in stating Gildas' death in 570 AD; it is strange, then, to find Carroll trusting these Annals instead.
All this confirms the validity of the Annals Cambriae and given that Gildas did write De excido et conquestu Britanniae in the 540s indicates that the correct interpretation is that Gildas was born in 516, the same year as the battle of Badon Hill.

Edited and published by William M. Hennessy in 1866, it is accorded to be one of the more valuable Irish annals by virture of its computistical data which were frequently distorted in other such compilations.
