Muircheartach Ó Briain was King of Thomond from 1317 until his death in 1343.

Reign[edit]

He was the son of Toirdhealbhach Mór Ó Briain. He was expelled by his Clann Briain cousin King Donnchad Ó Briain in 1314. He came to power after Donnchad supported Edward Bruce and lost the support of Richard de Clare, then fleeing to join the Bruce camp in Connacht.
