  • Cellach mac Rogallaig (or Cellach Locha Cime) (died 705) was a King of Connacht from the Uí Briúin Sil Cellaig branch of the Connachta. He was the son of Rogallach mac Uatach (died 649), a previous king. He succeeded his nephew Muiredach Muillethan mac Fergusso (died 702) as king in 702. He reigned from 702 to 705. The king lists in this period vary in their order of kings. The reign of Cellach is misplaced in the king-lists who place his reign between Dúnchad Muirisci mac Tipraite (died 683) and Fergal Aidne mac Artgaile (died 696). Both the Annals of Tigernach and the Annals of Ulster call him King of Connachta at his death obit however in 705. To confuse matters further he is listed as the guarantor of the Cáin Adomnáin in 697 at the Synod of Birr as King of Connacht. In July, 703 the high-king Loingsech mac Óengusso of the Cenél Conaill led a large army into Connacht to levy tribute but was defeated and slain along with many of his sons and other kings of the Ui Neill at the Battle of Corann (in South County Sligo). The saga tradition of this battle is preserved in the Fragmentary Annals of Ireland. According to this the bards of the high-king mocked Cellach for being an old shaky king. However Cellach: sprang from his chariot swiftly and far from the chariot, and the cracking of the old man's bones was audible as he leaped out of the chariot. And after that he said, in a loud voice, springing to the nearby battle: ‘Connachtmen, defend and protect your own freedom, for the people who are against you are not nobler or braver than you, and they have not done any better than you up to now.’ And he was talking to them like that, with his voice quavering and his eyes on fire." The Connaughtmen rose to the challenge and won the battle. The reason for Loingsech's attack may have been because the Cenél nEógain had outflanked the Cenél Conaill in the north resulting in expansion into Connacht as the only option available for them as well as a desire by Loingsech to assert his authority as high king. It also may have been due to the pressure of the Uí Briúin on the Cenél Coirpri in the direction of Breifne which would have cut off the Cenél Conaill from their access to the midlands. The true reason is unclear, the Ui Neill were defeated. At his death obit in 705 in the annals it is mentioned that he entered the clerical life. He is also referred to as Cellach Locha Cime. This lake is now Lough Hackett, near Headford in modern County Galway. His children were called the Síl Cellaig and contested the kingship of Connacht with the Síl Muiredaig and Síl Cathail throughout the 8th century. They were later displaced from this area by the Uí Briúin Seóla. His children included Domnall mac Cellaig (died 728) and Forggus mac Cellaig (died 756), both kings of Connacht. (en)

  • Rí na gConnacht de chlann Uí Bhriúin, Síol Cheallaigh, ba ea Ceallach mac Raghallaigh (Sean-Ghaeilge Cellach mac Rogallaig, nó Cellach Locha Cime (Áth Cinn)) (bás 705). He was the son of Rogallach mac Uatach (bás 649), iar-rí, ba ea a athair. Tháinig sé i gcoróin i gcomharbacht ar a nia, Muireadhach Muilleathan mac Fearghasa (na 702). Bhí sé i réim ón mbliain 702 go dtí 705. Tá oird éagsúla le feiceáil i ríliostaí na tréimhse seo. Feictear é sna ríliostaí idir Dúnchadh Mhuirisce mac Tiobraide (bás 683) agus Feargal Aidhne mac Ardaile (bás 696). Sa mhullach air sin, feictear é ina rí Chonnacht mar ráthóir Cháin Adhamhnáin ag sa bhliain 697. Tugtar an teideal rí Chonnacht dó ina thásc sa bhliain 705 i nAnnála Tiarnaigh agus Annála Uladh. I mí Iúil 703, tháinig an tArdrí, Loingseach mac Aonghasa of the Cineál Chonaill i gceannas slua mór sa Chonnachta isteach chun cáin a éileamh, ach cloíodh agus maraíodh eisean agus roinnt dá mhic agus ríthe eile Uí Néill an Tuaiscirt i g (Sligeach). Caomhnaítear scéal an chatha i nAnnála Easpacha na hÉireann. Deirtear ann go ndearna baird an Ardrí aoradh faoi Cheallach agus é sean creathach. However Cellach: Ghlac fir na gConnacht an dúshlán agus bhuaigh an cath. B'fhéidir é gurbh í an chúis le hionsaí Loingsigh ná go raibh Cineál Eoghain tagtha aniar aduaidh ar Chineál Chonaill sa tuaisceart, agus dá bharr ní raibh aon dul as acu ach dul ó dheas sa Chonnachta isteach ag lorg concais nua. D'fhéadfadh é fosta a bheith de bharr brú Uí Bhriúin ar Chineál Chairbre i dtreo Bhréifne, rud a gcuirfeadh cosc ar Chineál Chonaill ar a slí go lár na tíre. I dteannta sin, bhí fonn ar Loingsech a údarás mar ardrí a dhearbhú. Tuairiscítear ina thásc sa bhliain 705 gur éirigh sé ina chléir (post clericatum). . Tugadh an t-ainm Síol Cheallaigh (Síl Cellaig) ar a mhuintir. Bhídís in iomaíocht le Síol Muireadhaigh agus Síol Chathail le haghaidh ríogacht na gConnacht le linn na 8ú haoise. Ruaigeadh iad as a cheantar dúchais níos deireanaí ag Uí Bhriúin Seola. I measc a chlainne, bhí children Domhnall (bás 728) agus Forggus (bás 756), Ríthe Chonnacht beirt. (ga)
