Her first husband was Áed Findliath (r. 862–879), of the Cenél nEógain, King of Ailech and High King of Ireland.[3] Niall Glúndub, ancestor of the O'Neill dynasty, was the son of this marriage.[4]
Her second husband was Flann Sinna of Clann Cholmáin, King of Mide and also High King of Ireland.[5][6] As the daughter, wife and mother of kings, when Máel Muire died in 913, her death was reported by the Annals of Ulster, an unusual thing for the male-centred chronicles of that time.
