10 de abr. de 2024 · Tiernan ‘the great’ O’Rourke ( Tighearnán Mór Ua Ruairc) was the 19th ruler of Breifne of the O’Rourke line, who flourished through the years 1124-1172. His rivalry with Dermot Mac Murrow ( Diarmait Mac Murchada ), king of Leinster would become the prelude to the Anglo-Norman invasions (1169-1172).
In 1172, Tighearnán Ua Ruairc, the longtime Lord of Breifne and Conmaice, was betrayed and killed at Tlachtgha during negotiations with Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath. Tighearnán was beheaded, and his head and body were conveyed to the Anglo-Normans in Dublin, where it was put on display.
Tigernán Ua Ruairc, on the other hand, was at least seventy years of age, and was far from new to politics in the region, having ruled from c. 1125. During that near fifty-year reign, he had invested the bulk of his resources and energy into the conquest of Meath.
