Annaly

Annaly is an Irish lordship and former principality, named for its conqueror Angaile, ancestor of the Ó Fearghail.

The territory of Annaly coincides with modern County Longford and was conquered in the 10th century by Angaile, a King of Fortúatha whose line were chiefs of the Conmhaícne Angaile. Angaile's great-grandson Fearghail was the progenitor of the Ó Fearghail family, who were historically the Princes of Annaly. The lineage of Fearghaile also provided chiefs of the Dál Messin Corb dynasty and the Uí Garrchon.
