The Delbhna Tir Dha Locha were the most westerly branch, based in Iar Connacht . The Delbhna Nuadat were lords of a large section of what is now County Roscommon , situated between the Suck and Shannon rivers. From the early historic era they were a subject people of the Ui Maine . The Delbhna Bethra were located on the east bank of the River Shannon , in what is now County Westmeath . They may have once formed a single kingdom with the Delbhna Nuada until subjugated by the Ui Maine . By the late 5th Century they had fallen under the control of the Uí Néill . The Delbhna took their name from Delbáeth who is stated as being a legendary High King Of Ireland but was more likely a god of the Tuatha Dé Danann ; he would have been their ancestor-deity in the same way that Woden was to the Anglo-Saxons . |
