Iarmuman

Iarmuman

Iarmuman or Iarmumhan, Iarmumu or Iarluachair was a Kingdom in the early christian period of Ireland in west Munster. Its ruling dynasty was related to the main ruling dynasty of Munster known as the Eoganachta. Its ruling branch was called the Eóganacht Locha Léin or Ui Caipre Luachra. Their center was around Killarney, County Kerry at Loch Léin. The name Iarluachair means west of the Sliabh Luachra mountains.

The dynasty was established in the 5th century with the kingdom becoming semi-independent of the Munster kings at Cashel in the 6th century. They ruled over tribes in west Munster such as the Ciarraige Luachra, Corco Duibne and Corco Loigde and at the height of their power may have ruled over areas of west Thomond including the tribes of Corco Baiscinn and Corco Mruad and had sovereignity over the Ui Fidgeinti of Limerick and the Eóganacht Raithlind of Cork county.

Their power was broken in the late 8th and early 9th centuries. The transference of the overlordship of the Ciarraige Luachra to direct Cashel control in the reign of Feidlimid mac Cremthanin (died 846) signified this. The last time the title King of Iarmuman was used in the "Annals of Innisfallen" was 791 and in the "Annals of Ulster" 833. The dynasty then begins to use the title king of Loch Léin. Kings of Iarmuman:
* Coirpre Luachra mac Cuirc (mid 5th century)
* Maine mac Coirpri
* Dauí Iarlaithe mac Maithni (circa 500)
* ....
* Crimthann mac Cobthaig (6th century)
