Tadhg Mór Ua Cellaigh, 36th King of Uí Maine and 1st Chief of the Name. BackgroundUa Cellaigh was the first King of Uí Maine to bear the surname Ua Cellaigh, derived from his grandfather, Ceallach mac Finnachta, who was in turn a sixth-generation descendant of Eoghan Finn, a descendant of the first king, Maine Mór. He succeeded Muirgus mac Domnaill, killed in battle in 986. {{anchor|Careear}}CareerHe seems to have been present at the battles of Lough Ree (987), and the hosting to Tara in 999. Tadhg allied himself with Brian Boru against King of Mide Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill (975-1022) and two Kings of Connacht, Cathal mac Conchobar mac Taidg, (973-1010) and Tadg in Eich Gil (1010-1030). He secured marriage alliances to Brian, as one of Tadhg's sisters is said to have become one of Brian's many wives. His position was bolstered with Brian's accession to the High-Kingship in 1002. He accompanied him to Dublin in 1014 where he fought and died at the Battle of Clontarf. In folk memoryJohn O'Donovan recorded a tradition prevalent in the early 19th century concerning Tadhg Mór:
DescendantsAll but one subsequent king of Maine would either descend from Tadhg Mór or bear the surname Ua/Ó Cellaigh, until Feardorcha Ó Cellaigh resigned the title Ó Cellaigh in the late 16th century. His senior descendants in the 21st century are the Counts and Countesses of Grallagh and Tyrcooley, while Kelly is the second most common surname in County Galway, all of whom are direct descendants of Ceallach mac Finnachta. {{S-start}}{{succession box |before=Muirgus mac Domnaill| title=King of Uí Maine| after=Concobar mac Tadg Ua Cellaig| years=985–1014| }}{{S-end}} See also
