Garban Mack Endai

Garban was one of the sons of Enda Mack Krimtayn. His great-grandfather was Nad Freuch , who ruled Munster in the 5th century ^{[1] [2]} . This is mentioned in medieval Irish genealogies , including those found in the ^[3] . The residence of the rulers of Eoganakhtov from Aine was located near the modern village of Knokani (in the county of Limerick ) ^[4] . The septum to which Garban belonged was named after his father Wy End ^[1] .

The continuity and chronology of the reign of the kings of Munster of the 5th-6th centuries due to the contradictory evidence of medieval historical sources is not precisely established. In the Irish annals and in the Leinster Book , Garban Mack Endai and his brother Amalgaid are called the rulers of Munster ^{[1] [5] [6]} . In the Annals of Tigernach , this evidence is dated 596 ^[7] . However, other sources do not mention the names of Garban and Amalgayd as rulers of Munster. In them, the King of Munster at the end of the 6th century was named Fedlimid poppy Tigernaig from the genus of the ^{[5] or [ 8] [9] [10]} , who died in 590 or 593.

On the date of death of Garban, the poppy of Endai information was not preserved in medieval sources ^[6] . In the Annals of Tigernach, the death of Amalgayd poppy Endai is reported in the records of 601 ^[11] . Modern historians date this event to the year 603 ^[10] . The annals indicate that the new ruler of Munster was Fingen Mak Aedo Duyb from ^{[1] [6] [12]} .

The Munster Book mentions that Garban Mack Endai was the ancestor of the rulers of one of the Munster septs. This sept - Wy Garbine - was named after the name of its ancestor ^[3] .
