Bran mac Finsnechta
Bran mac Finsnechta was the third of ten Kings of Leinster to be inaugurated and based on Lyons Hill, Ardclough, County Kildare, a member of the Uí Dúnchada, one of three septs of the Uí Dúnlainge dynasty which rotated the kingship of Leinster between 750 and 1050, significant in County Kildare History. Bran was ordained King of Laighin by High King Niall Caille mac Áedo, one of the earliest instances of ordination of a king in European history, although the Irish history professor at University College Cork, Donncha O Corrain of UCC, says that this may be a misreading of the annals.
