There were several families of the name in Ireland, of whom thl' most powerful and celebrated \\ el'e seated in the baronies of Keenaght, Tirkeeran, and Coleraine, in the present county of Londonderry; but it would not appear that the ecclesiastic, whose death is here recorded, was of this sept. b SlicresBor of Jlaidoc, ì\Iaodhog, or Aedhan, now anglicised Mogue and Aidan, was the first Bisllop of Ferns, and successor of "Maodhog is used in these Annals to denote Bi"hop of Ferns. The word comapbo signifies successor, either ecclesiastical or lay, but generaUy the former in these Annals. There were two other ecclesias- t.ical establishments, the abbots of which were ('aUed Comharoos of Mogue, or :\Iaidoc, viz. Rossinver, in the county of Leitrim, and Drum- lane, in the county of Cavan; but whenever the ahbotQ of these places are referred to, the names of the monasteries åre mentioned, as O'Farrelly, Comharba of St. Mogue, at Drumlane; O'Fergus, Comharba of St. Mogue, at Rossinver; but when the Bi hop of Ferns is meant, he is simply caUed Comharba of St. Mogue, without the addition of the name of the place. C Giolla-Aedha, i. e. -servant of St. Aodh, or Aidus. The word GioUa occurs so frequently, as the first part of the names of men, that I shaU explain it here, once for aU, on the authorit) of Colgan. Giolla, especially among the ancients, signified 8 youth, but now generaUy a servant; and hence it happened that families WllO werl' devoted to certain saints, took care to caU their sons after them, prefixing the word Giolla, in- timating that they were to be the servants or devotees of those saints. Shortly after the in- troduction of Christianity, we meet many names of men formed by prefixing the word Giollet to the names of the celebratcù saints of the first agL of the Irj"h Church, as GioUa-Ailbhe, GioUa- Phatraig, Giolla-Chiarain, which mean servant uf St. Ailbhe, servant of t.

The word maol, mad, or moet, like <'i lOlla , has two significations, namely, a chief, and a tonsured monk. It was anciently prefixed, like Giolla, to the names of saints, to form proper names of men, as maot Colalm, maot Seac- naill, which mean the servant or devotee of the aints Columb and tiecundinus; but when an adjective is post-fixed to MAOL, it has its ancient !'ignification, as Maoldubh, i. e. the black chief.

Dervorgilla, in Irish beapßroP<'i alU , the wife of this Tiernan, who i!' generally supposed to have been the immediate cause of the invasion of Ireland by the English, died in the monastery of Drogheda, in the year 1193, in the eighty-fifth year of her age. She was, therefore, born in the year 1108, and was in her sixty-fourth year at the death of Tiernan, and in her forty-fourth year when she eloped with Dermot, King of Leinster, in 1152, who was then in the si"ty-second year of his age. Dermot was expelled in the seventieth year of his age.-See Dr. O'Conor's Prolegomena ad Annales, p. 146 ; and also O'Reilly's Essay on the Brehon Laws, where he vainly attempts to clear the character of Dervorgilla from the charge of having wilfully eloped from her husband.
