Cerball mac Muirecáin (died 909) was king of Leinster. He was the son of Muirecán mac Diarmata and a member of the Uí Fáeláin, the descendants of Fáelán mac Murchado (died 738), of one of three septs of the Uí Dúnlainge of modern County Kildare in Ireland. Cerball died in 909, when the Annals of Ulster report: Cerball son of Muirecán, an excellent king of the Laigin, died of a sickness. Given the biases of the Annals of Ulster, it is understood that Cerball had been a reliable ally of his father-in-law Flann Sinna. He was memorialised in a poem by his poet, Dallán mac Móre.

  • Cerball mac Muirecáin (died 909) was king of Leinster. He was the son of Muirecán mac Diarmata and a member of the Uí Fáeláin, the descendants of Fáelán mac Murchado (died 738), of one of three septs of the Uí Dúnlainge of modern County Kildare in Ireland. Cerball succeeded his distant cousin Muiredach mac Brain of the Uí Dúnchada sept as king of Leinster on Muiredach's death in 885. Unlike Muiredach, who was lay abbot of Kildare as well as king, Cerball appears to have been king only as one Lergus son of Cruinnén, bishop of Kildare, was killed in the , fought by Flann Sinna, the High King of Ireland, against the Vikings of Dublin in 888. That same year, the neighbouring king of Osraige Cerball mac Dúnlainge, who had repeatedly attacked Leinster over the previous decades in an attempt to make it subject to him, died. The Annals of Ulster contain relatively few reports of Cerball's reign. In 902 they state that he, together with of Brega lead an expedition to Dublin which drove the "foreigners", the Vikings and Norse-Gaels, from Ireland. He fought alongside Flann (whose daughter Gormflaith ingen Flann Sinna he married), against the men of Munster at the Battle of Bellaghmoon (near Castledermot) where Cormac mac Cuilennáin, King of Munster and Bishop of Cashel, was killed. Cerball died in 909, when the Annals of Ulster report: Cerball son of Muirecán, an excellent king of the Laigin, died of a sickness. Given the biases of the Annals of Ulster, it is understood that Cerball had been a reliable ally of his father-in-law Flann Sinna. He was memorialised in a poem by his poet, Dallán mac Móre. After Cerball's death, Gormflaith married Niall Glúndub. Later traditions had it that she had wished to marry Cormac mac Cuilennáin, but that he had taken vows of celibacy, so for reasons of state she was married to the brutal Cerball, before finding a short period of happiness with Niall, who died in battle in 917. These tales appear to be largely poetic invention. Cerball was succeeded by his distant cousin Augaire mac Ailella of the Uí Muiredaig sept. He himself had no recorded issue. (en)

Ba bhall de chlann Uí Fhaoláin, é agus Fáelán mac Murchado (bás 738) a shinsear. Tháinig Cearbhall i gcomharbacht ar a fháil i bhfad amach, Muireadach mac Brain Uí Dhúnchadha tar éis a bháis Mhuireadaigh sa bhliain 885. Murab ionann agus Muireadach, a bhí fosta ina Chill Dara, is amhlaidh nach raibh Cearbhall ach ina rí. Insítear gur maraíodh Lergus mac Cruinnén, , ag idir an Ardrí Flann Sinna agus na Lochlannaigh as Áth Cliath sa bhliain 888. Sa bhliain chéanna, fuair rí Cearbhall mac Dúnlainge bás, chomharsa na Laighean a rinne ionsaí go mion minic orthu. Ní fheictear ach pas beag tuairiscí maidir le réimeas Chearbhaill i nAnnála Uladh. Sa bhliain 902, insítear go ndeachaigh sé i dteannta le , rí Bhreá, ar feachtas go hÁth Cliath agus gur chuir suas an ruaig ar na Gaill (na Lochlannaigh agus Gall-Ghaeil, as Éirinn. Throid sé i dteannta le Flann (phós sé a iníon, ), in éadan fhir na Mumhan ag (gar de Dhíseart Diarmada) air a maraíodh Cormac mac Cuileannáin, rí Mumhan agus easpag Chaisil. Fuair Cearbhall bás sa bhliain 909, agus insítear i nAnnála Uladh: I bhfianaise claonadh Annála Uladh, tuigtear anseo gur dhlúthchara a athar céile, Flann Sionna, é Cearbhall. Cuimhníodh i ndán leis an bhfile, . Tar éis bhás Cearbhaill, phós Gormflaith Niall Glúndubh. De réir scéalta nua deireanaí, ba mhian le Gormflaith Cormac mac Cuileannáin a phósadh, ach bhí móid aontumha tógtha aige. Pósadh í le Cearbhall brúidiúil sula bhfuair sí tamall beag áthais le Niall, a d'éag i mbun chatha sa bhliain 917. Is dócha gur cumadóireacht fhileata iad na scéalta seo tríd is tríd. Tháinig a ghaol i bhfad amach Augaire mac Ailealla Uí Mhuireadhaigh, i gcomharbacht ar Chearbhall. Ní raibh clann aige féin dá bhfuil a fhios againn. (ga)
