Dál gCais
The Dál gCais (also Dal Cais; ) were a dynastic group of related septs located in north Munster, and who rose to political prominence in the early medieval era in Ireland. They claimed descent from Cas mac Conall Echlúath (hence the term "Dál", meaning "portion" or "share" of Cas), though in later times for reasons of political expediency they claimed descent from the ancestor of the Eóganachta Kings of Munster, Oilliol Olum.
