The eponym of the lineage was Coscrach Mór mac Duinn, who died in the Battle of Dún Ganiba in 799.[2] Its chiefs were the Meic Áeda (now rendered McHugh or McGagh, via Mac Aodha), who, like the Muintir Murchada, claimed descent from Cenn Fáelad mac Colgan, King of Connacht.[3][4] Early generations of the lineage competed with the Muintir Murchada and Uí Fiachrach Aidhne for the kingship of South Connacht.
