His father, Aedh Mac Eogan Ua Conchobair , was killed in battle at Coill An Clochain by Aed Breifnech Ua Conchobair . His place was taken by Ruaidri Mac Cathal Ua Conchobair who nevertheless ruled for less than a year; the annals laconicly note in 1310 that ''Felim, the son of Hugh, son of Owen O'Conor, assumed the place of his father.'' Felim was killed at the Second Battle Of Athenry at the head of a massive Irish army thought to comprise at least 20,000 men, mainly from Connacht, the midlands and Ulster . A son, Aedh Mac Felim Ua Conchobair , would later become King of Connacht, as would his grandson, Tairdelbach Mac Aedh Ua Conchobair . REFERENCES
