Conall Gulban (WR/KR)

Conall Gulban (died 464), was an Irish king who founded the kingdom of Tír Conaill in the 5th century, comprising much of what is now County Donegal. He was the son of Niall Noígiallach.[1]

His byname Gulban derives from Benn Gulban (the mountain of Benbulban) in Co.Sligo. From which center the sons of Niall set out upon their conquest of the north.[2] King Conall Gulban was murdered by the Masraige at Magh Slécht (Co.Cavan) in 464. He was buried by Saint Caillin at Fernagh, Co.Leitrim.[3]

Fun Fact: George Washington was a decendant of Conall Gulban!
