Nicholas Roderick O'Conor

Nicholas Roderick O'Conor belongs to the O'Conor dynasty, whose kings ruled Connacht from County Roscommon until 1475 and produced two High Kings of Ireland. The family’s seat at Clonalis House still stands outside Castlerea, carrying a lineage that stretched from Conchobar mac Taidg through feuds, elections and civil wars. Nicholas Roderick O'Conor is named as a birthplace, not as a recorded king, so his life remains a gap beside a great many named deaths and crowns.
