Lesson plan
Feely
Feely (Irish: Ó Fithcheallaigh) is an Irish Gaelic clan or family from northern Connacht, Ireland, primarily the counties of Sligo, Roscommon and Leitrim. They are a member of the Síol Muireadaigh, a tribal confederation of clans that descend from a common ancestor. The Síol Muireadaigh are the leading group of the Uí Briúin Ai, who ruled Connacht for over 700 years with only one exception. The Síol Muireadaigh claim descent from Muiredach Muillethan (meaning the broad-crowned sea warrior) King of Connacht (died 702). The Feely family are closely linked with the O'Conor Don family and share the same clan crest, only without the motto.
