"...He was lamented by his wife, the celebrated Meadhbh Leith-dherg, or"Meave the half-bred", daughter of Conan of Cualan, in a beautiful poempreserved in the Book of Leinster. The poem was recited by Meave over herhusband's grave as a funeral oration.

Mocorb's son conceals renown.
Well sheds his blood by his spears.
A stone over his grave--'tis a pity--
Who carried battle over Clu Mail.
My noble king, he spoke not falsehood.
His success was certain in every danger.
As black as a raven was his brow.
As white was his skin as the lime.
Together we used to go on refections.
As high was his shield as a champion;
The fork against the kings of Erinn, sons of chiefs,
He maintained his shield in every cause.
Countless wolves he fed with his spear
At the heels of our men in every battle.
Seven battles fought he for his land.
He swept over them like any razor.
What battle of them--admirable the deed--
At which he warded not off a hundred in every danger?
The three battles of the Finn Fail;
The battle of Ath-an-Scall, of the bloody field.
The battle of Fossud--'twas the puissance of a hero--
Was fought by the chief of Mogh Maein
The battle of Glaise Chriche he broke (gained)
The man who had the deciding of battles.
The battle of Bernas the Hound fought;
His valor brought blood upon his spears
He defended by his arms his lands
When he killed kings who were not weak.
To conquer Gailian (Leinster) he raised a contest.
Alas! that destruction has come upon the son!

"91. Breasal Bealach (large lipped): his son; was the 2nd Christian Kingof Leinster. Had following sons:
1. Labhradh, who is described below

"

The ancient kings of Leinster (Ui Cinnsealaigh = Hy Kinsella) hadfortresses or royal residences at Dinn Righ, near the river Barrow,between Carlow and Leighlin; at Naas, in Kildare; and, in after times atthe city of Ferns in Wexford, which was their capital; and also at OldRoss in Wexford; and at Ballymoon in Carlow. The Ui Cinnsealaigh wereinaugurated as kings of Leinster at a place called Cnoc-an-Bhogha,attended by O'Nolan, who was the King's Marshal, and Chief of Forth inCarlow; by O'Doran, Chief Brehon of Leinster; and by MacKeogh, theirChief Bard.

The major Leinster families begin to split off at this point."

"According to ancient Irish manuscripts, the name Cinnsealach (lateranglicized to Kinsella) first came into being in the year 365 AD. Theoccasion was a battle between the King of Tara, Eochaidh Muighmheadhon,and Eanna, King of Leinster.

The battle was fought at a place called Croghan Hill and was decisivelywon by King Eanna. Near the end of the battle, Eochaidh Muighmheadhon'sdruid, Ceadnathach, was taken prisoner and brought to Eanna who wasstanding on the Hill amidst the dissipating battle. Upon seeing Eanna,the druid said, "Thou wouldst never conquer from this hill on which I am,if I were to live." Upon this Eanna transfixed him with his spear; and,as the spear pierced his body, a laugh broke forth from Eanna. "Alas,"said the druid, "that is a foul laugh, and it is this that will be givenas a name to thy posterity after thee for ever".

Based on this account, Cinnsealach means foul laugh. Other versions existhowever:

Cinn means head, point, chieftain, commander and selach means unclean,vile. So one version of Cinnsealach is unclean head.
Another version, and one you could believe the druid would have uttered,is vile chieftain.
One favored by an Irish family in Ireland is crest of a wave as theGaelic word for sea or salt water is saile.
Finally, according to a Gaelic dictionary, Cinnsealach meansauthoritative.
Eanna Cinnsealach was powerful in his time, as may be seen from the poemcomposed by Dubhthach son of O Lughair, who was chief ollamh (poet) ofIreland when Patrick came to preach the Gospel. A battle fought by theLeinstermen is the beginning of that poem but I shall here quote onlythese two stanzas of it, from which it may be inferred that Eanna waspowerful in his time:

The tribute which was given to Eanna,
From Leath Cuinn of the feasts,
Was a screaball from each house,
All of fionndruine

The tribute which was given to Eanna,
From Mumha with insults
Was an ounce of gold from each lios
In the ensuing year.

The clan composed of Eanna's direct descendants became known as UiCinnsealach (Hy Kinsella in modern times). From the 4th century until theNorman invasion in the 12th century they ruled over a large area of southeastern Ireland composed of Co.Wexford, Carlow, and parts of Kildare andKilkenny. "
