Connacht
Connacht was a Gaelic kingdom west of the Shannon. After the Earl of Ulster's murder in 1333, the Norman colony contracted, leaving the O'Conors a reduced kingdom around Roscommon. In 1337 Tarlach of the dynasty ruled there.
The dynasty split into O'Conor Don and O'Conor Roe; the last fully recognised king died in 1474. The Tudors established the Presidency of Connacht in 1569, and the Composition of 1585 turned chiefly lands into crown baronies. At Aughrim in 1691 the Jacobites suffered a decisive defeat.
