| Notes: | History Domnall Mor ("Domnall the Great") was the third son of Turlough mac Dermot, the king of Munster from 1142 to 1167. He ascended to the throne in 1168 after the death of his eldest brother Muirchertach mac Turlough, king of Munster and Desmond from 1167 to 1168. Muirchertach was killed at the instigation of his cousin Conchobar mac Muirchertach OBrien. His other brother Brian of Slieve Bloom was blinded in 1169. The same year, Domnall entered into conflict with Erenn Ruaidri OConchobar and was forced to pay him a tribute of 300 cows. In 1171, he submitted himself to Henry II, king of England, at Cashel, but he continued to fight successfully against the Normans and their incursion into southwest Ireland for many years. In 1175, having demolished the Normans at the Battle of Thurles in Tipperary, he consolidated his power by blinding two of his cousins, Dermot mac Taig OBrien and Mathgamain mac Toirdhelbeach OBrien, in Limerick. He was, however, driven from Thomond by Erenn Ruaidri the same year. In 1176, he drove out the Normans from Limerick, and in 1185 when Prince John of England intervened in Ireland, Domnall Mor demolished them again when John was plundering along the Suir River. The same year he also blinded the last Dermot brother. In 1184, part of his lands were enfeofed to Philip de Braose, Lord Deputy of Ireland. In 1188, he helped the men of Connacht under Conchobar OConchobar to overcome Jean de Courcy in the Curlew Mountains. In 1193, the Normans devastated Clare in reprisal and plundered Domnalls possessions in Ossory. He established the Holy Cross Abbey in 1180 and Kilcooly Abbey in 1184, both under the Cistercian Rite.[1] According to the Annals of Ulster, he was the last king of Munster, dying in 1194.
| Notes: | Family Domnall Mor married Orlacan, daughter of Dermot mac Murrough. He left several sons who fought amongst themselves and with their cousin Muichertach, son of Brian of Slieve Bloom, for the succession in Thomond.
