Carbury

Carbury was a Gaelic túath of Lower Connacht, on the coast beneath Benbulbin and centred on Sligo. In 1337 Magnus of the O'Conor Sligo line ruled there.

During the Burke Civil War of the 1330s, the O'Conors extended their power across Lower Connacht. They later struggled against the O'Donnells of Tyrconnell and eventually acknowledged their overlordship. Their independence ended with the collapse of the Gaelic order after the Nine Years' War in 1603.
