The Dál Messin Corb were a ruling dynasty of Leinster along with the Dál Chormaic. Descended from Chú Chorb's son Messin Corb, they were the last of the Dumnonians.[1] In the fifth and sixth centuries they were ousted and driven from their seat on the Liffey and into Wicklow.[2]
The main branch of the dynasty were the Uí Garrchon. The sixth-century saint, Kevin of Glendalough, was said to have been descended from the Uí Náir, a minor branch.[3]
