  === Life Sketch ===
  Conall mac Comgall was king of Dál Riata from about 558 until 574.
  He was a son of Comgall mac Domangairt. It is said that he gave Iona to Saint Columba. The Duan Albanach says that he reigned "without dissension", but there is a report of an expedition by Conall and Colmán Bec mac Diarmato of the Southern Uí Néill to Iardoaman in the Annals of Ulster for 568. The much longer entry in the later and less reliable Annals of the Four Masters reports: "A sea fleet was brought by Colman Beg, son of Diarmaid, son of Fearghus Cerrbheoil, and by Conall, son of Comhgall, chief of Dal Riada, to Sol (Seil) and Ile (Islay), and they carried off many spoils from them."
  
  The Senchus fer n-Alban says that Conall had seven sons:
  . Loingsech,
  . Nechtan,
  . Artan,
  . Tuathan,
  . Tutio and
  . Coirpe.
  However, Connad Cerr is taken to be a son of Conall, and the death of Conall's son Dúnchad is noted in the Annals of Ulster and the Annals of Tigernach, leading the army of the "sons of Gabrán" in Kintyre.
  
  King Gabrhan was succeeded by his nephew, Eugenius III, who instead of revenging his uncle's death, received Donald into favor, which made him suspected of having a hand in the conspiracy; and he was succeeded in 558 by his brother Conall, who introduced heraldry.
  
  Conall recalled the children of Gabhran but died before their return in 568 after a reign of ten years. Conall was succeeded by his younger brother Kintellus, who courteously entertained Aedan of Dalriada, son of Gabhran and on his deathbed resigned to him.
  
  === Title of King in Ireland - what does it mean? ===
  I would be very distantly (!) related to King Conall I MacComgaill of Dal Riata. Insofar as geneology goes what does the title of King mean if they lived in Ireland in the year 0533-0574?
