Kinalmeaky (Irish: Cineál mBéice)[1] is a baronyinCounty Cork, Ireland.[2]

Etymology

[edit]

Kinalmeaky takes its name from Cenél-mBéice, Irish for『the kindred of Béce,』an ancestor of the O'Mahonys.[3][4]

Geography

[edit]

Kinalmeaky is located in south-central County Cork, on the Bandon River.[5]

History

[edit]

Kinalmeaky was anciently a territory of the Ó Mathghamhna (O'Mahoney), chief of Ui Eachach Mumhan.[6][7] The rebellion of Conoghor Ó Mathghamhna led to the confiscation of Kinalmeaky in 1580 after the Second Desmond Rebellion, and it was sold to Richard Grenville.[8] In 1628 the territory was used for the title of Viscount Boyle of Kinalmeaky. In the 17th century, it was described as "wild, overgrown and encumbered with woods and bogs."[9]
