    Magonius or Magnus O'Cahan Prince Of Limavady.

    Manus Catha an Duin was a son of Rory Raudria O'Cathain [1][2] He was a prince of Limavady, killed by the English in the Battle of Down (Druim Dearg) in 1260.

    He died in the year 1260 in Slain At Battle Of, Down, Ireland, he was 60 years old. The Battle of Druim Dearg, also known as the Battle of Down, took place on or about 14 May 1260 near Downpatrick, in modern-day County Down, Northern Ireland. [3]
    Hence the epithet Catha an Duin MacNamee laments the loss of Magnus O'Cathain as being the most grievous after that of O'Neill himself.

    Lament of the O'Cathain Loss

    "Bitter to my heart (to see) the grey Galls Triumphing over the slaughtered Maghnus; That the head of O'Cathain, attracting no notice, Should be seen on the bridge of Dun.

    At night did Maghnus of Macha remain Between wounded bodies; If Brian had not been in the slaughter There would be no loss like O'Cathain.

    Maghnus himself, Eachmarcach too, Muircheartach, Dounchadh, Domhnall, And Niall O'Cathain all falling with wounds: Alas, it was not one loss only.

    A misfortune to our children and our wives Was the slaying of Maghnus O'Cathain: That scion of Inbhear-Abhaigh never neglected A son or a daughter of Eoghan's race."[4]

    Magnus married O'Cathain, Formaiel in 1240 in Northern Ireland. Formaiel was born in 1200 in Limavidy, Londonderry, Northern Ireland; died in 1260 in Northern Ireland; was buried in 1260 in Limavidy, Londonderry, Northern Ireland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

  1. 5.  O'Cathain, King Guy Ochaan Descendancy chart to this point (4.Magnus4, 3.Rory3, 2.Donal2, 1.Meardda1) was born in 1245 in Northern Ireland; died in 1303 in Northern Ireland; was buried in 1303 in Limavidy, Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

    Notes:


    Cumee na Gall O'Cahan (Irish: Cú Maighe na nGall Ó Catháin) was a chief of the O'Cahan of Keenaght, Fir-na-Creeve and Fir Lee in modern-day County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The family first appears on record in 1138. Cumee was a son of Manus O'Cahan, a man who fell in battle alongside fourteen other members of the O'Cahan in support of Brian O'Neill, king of Tír Eoghain, at the battle of Druim Dearg.

    Following his father's death, Cumee was made chief of his kindred by Henry de Mandeville, seneschal of Ulster, and thereupon served as an ally to this Anglo-Irish lord. His ties with the Normans earned him the epithet of na nGall meaning "of the foreigners".

    Cumee's son, Dermot, appears on record in 1312. Cumee's daughter, Anna (Áine), married Angus Og MacDonald. A heavily restored effigy at Dungiven Priory is sometimes associated with Cumee, although it appears to date to the last quarter of the fifteenth century, and seems to be that of a later member of the kindred: perhaps either Godfrey (Gofraidh, died 1472), Dermot (Diarmait, died 1484), Godfrey (Gofraidh, died 1492), or Owen (Eóin, died 1492).
