Notes about the clan Maguire (or McGuire):

The founder of the Maguire clan was Colla-da-Crioch, nephew of Fiacha, King of Ireland, 264 CE (common era). The Gaelic word “uidhir”, meaning “dun-colored” was an appelation applied to the ninth chief in descent from Colla-da Crioch, and passed on as the surname Maguire.

In time, the clan came to possess the entire county of Fermanagh, which was often referred to as “Maguire’s country”. Their principal ancestral seat was the modern city of Enniskillen.

In the battle of Clontarf, 1014 CE, Maguire’s men formed part of the second division of Brian Boru’s army. The Cronicler refers to Maguire and another leader, Na Kerbaill, as the two most illustrious Irishment that graced the field that day.

In the confiscation that followed the defeat of O’Neill and O’Donnell at the close of Elizabeth’s reign, the Maguires lost most of their ancestral lands in Fermanagh to the Planters.

Among the many famous Maguires whose names dot the pages of Irish history may be noted the historian, Cathal Manus Maguire (1398 - 1439), Bishop Nicholas Maguire (1460 - 1512) and Conor Maguire (1616 - 1645), executed for his part in the rebellion of 1641.
