About Bran Mut mac Conaill
Bran Mut mac Conaill was a monarch.
Bran Mut mac Conaill (died 693) was a king of Leinster from the UĂ DĂșnlainge branch of the Laigin. He was the grandson of FĂĄelĂĄn mac ColmĂĄin (died 666), a previous king. He ruled from 680 to 693.
According to the saga BĂłroma ("The Cattle Tribute"), it is mentioned that the high king FĂnsnechta Fledach (d. 695) of the SĂl nĂedo SlĂĄine undertook an expedition against Leinster when the Laigin refused to pay the cattle tribute. Bran Mut assembled the Leinster forces and sent Saint Moling (died 697), the abbot of Ferns, to negotiate with Fisnechta. Moling tricked Fisnechta into remitting the tribute.
By his wife Almaith ingen Blathmac of the Cenél Loairn of the Dål Riata, he had a son Murchad mac Brain Mut (d. 727) who was a king of Leinster.
